Greenhouse Jobs Department API FAQ
The short answers. The docs have the long ones.
How much does the Greenhouse Jobs Department API cost?
1 credit per successful call, shown before it runs. You buy credits once, and paid credits never expire.
What do I send?
Send board and department_id. The input fields below list every option with its type and limits.
Do I need a Greenhouse Jobs login?
No. It reads public Greenhouse Jobs data; nothing runs on your account.
Can my AI agent call it?
Yes, over MCP: the agent finds greenhouse.departments.get, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
Your first Greenhouse Jobs call is free.
Up to 100 free credits to start, no card needed.
