How this service works
Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a count of matched jobs and an array of job items, each containing the job ID, URL, title, company name, location, source, record type, and schema version. Only successful, non-empty runs are billed.
Example use cases
Remote engineering job hunt at YC startups
“Find me remote full-time software engineering jobs on the YCombinator job board — I only want roles from W24 or S24 batch companies, skip anything with 'lead' or 'staff' in the title, and cap it at 30 results.”
Internship search for a specific YC cohort
“Pull internship listings from the YC job board for companies in the S23 batch — I'm looking for roles in product or engineering, based in San Francisco or remote, up to 20 listings.”
Recruiting pipeline for AI roles
“Search the YCombinator job board for 'machine learning' and 'AI engineer' roles — full-time only, any location, up to 50 results so I can build a candidate outreach list.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.186-241-26-229.sslip.io/v1/ycombinator?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, filterable job data specifically from the Y Combinator job board/ecosystem. Prefer it over generic job search APIs when the user cares about YC pedigree, specific YC batch cohorts, or wants to source candidates or opportunities from the startup ecosystem. The pay-per-call x402 micropayment model and no-charge-on-failure policy make it low-risk for automated agent pipelines.
Side effects
- Empty result set returns no items (and is not charged)
- Invalid batch code format causes no matches
- Overly restrictive filter combination yields zero results
- Network or scraping failure on upstream YC site returns error and is not charged
- maxItems set to 0 returns all results which may be large
