Canonical Data Infrastructure Layer

The canonical API, schema, and dataset hub for open job data.

This domain is the reference documentation surface for APIs, schemas, and versioned datasets. It supports `mewannajob.com` consumer flows and `jobpool.live` transparency workflows while keeping infrastructure documentation in its own lane. The first API layer is intentionally lightweight and no-auth, with Netlify edge rate limiting plus cache controls.

Who this is for

For developers, researchers, builders, and contributors who need consistent access to structured job data without account-gated onboarding.

Canonical Endpoint https://api.jobdatapool.com/v1/jobs
Compatibility Alias https://jobdatapool.com/api/jobs
Contracts /openapi.json + /schemas/*

Lightweight HTTP Layer

Public no-auth API with versioned contracts

Canonical paths live on `/v1/*` with compatibility aliases on `/api/*`, backed by documented OpenAPI and JSON Schema contracts.

Versioned Datasets

Release pointers and CSV locations

Versions are discovered from the jobpool data repository DVC pointers, then resolved to CSV URLs. This section includes the exact source repo used by `mewannajob` and `jobpool.live`, exposed through a static download surface.

Schema

Canonical listing fields

Current schema reflects the live CSV contract used across downstream surfaces and is published as stable machine-readable docs.
