How to query

You can query nodes created from the Greenhouse Job Board API using GraphQL like the following:

Note: Learn to use the GraphQL tool and Ctrl+Spacebar at http://localhost:8000/___graphql to discover the types and properties of your GraphQL model.

{
  allGreenhouseJobs {
    edges {
      node {
      title
      absolute_url
        location {
          name
        }
        content
      }
    }
  }
}

All Greenhouse data is pulled using the Greenhouse Job Board API. Data is made available in the same structure as provided by the API.

Note: The following example is not a complete reference to the available fields. Utilize Gatsby's built-in GraphQL tool to discover the types and properties available.

Query jobs

Jobs are linked to their departments and offices, which following the format of the API, returns an array.

{
allGreenhouseJob {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        internal_job_id
        title
        absolute_url
        content
        updated_at(formatString: "ddd, MMMM Do, YYYY")
        questions {
          label
          required
          fields {
            name
            type
            values {
              label
              value
            }
          }
    	  }
        location {
          name
        }
        departments {
          name
        }
        offices {
          name
          id
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Job Board vs. Harvest API

Greenhouse provides two APIs for sourcing information on open jobs, Harvest and Job Board. For most use-cases that involve presenting and displaying job posts on a website, the Job Board API is sufficient and recommended because:

• No authentication is required, therefore no need to manage secrets. etc.
• Harvest API provides a significant amount of data which some individuals and/or organizations may consider to be sensitive

More information on the Job Board API can be found on the Greenhouse Developer Website.
