Meta Jobs search

Search and enumerate Meta's open requisitions straight from metacareers.com as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API, no scraping the careers site by hand.

When to use this skill

• "Search Meta jobs for in ."
• "What is Meta currently hiring for in AI/AR-VR/Security?"
• "Track every new Meta requisition this week." — walk /meta-jobs/list by last_modified on a schedule.
• "Look up this Meta job id" — pull the full posting detail.

Setup (one-time)

• Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at https://crawlora.net.
• export CRAWLORA_API_KEY=sk_your_key_here
• All requests: x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY against https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1. Missing/invalid key → 401.

How it works

1. Full-catalog listing — /meta-jobs/list pages through Meta's own public job sitemap: every open requisition's id, canonical URL, and last-modified timestamp, with no team/location/keyword filtering. Use this for full-catalog enumeration or change tracking via last_modified.
2. Filtered search — /meta-jobs/search hits Meta's own anonymous jobsearch GraphQL endpoint with the same team/technology/location/ employment-type/keyword/remote/sort filters the live search page offers. All filters are optional and AND together; an empty request returns Meta's entire open-requisition catalog in one response. q matches team, technology, location, or ref/req-code — it is NOT a free-text search over job titles or descriptions.
3. Single-posting detail — /meta-jobs/job returns one Meta Careers posting by its numeric job id (the id field returned by search or list), parsed from metacareers.com's server-rendered job detail page.

Full endpoint list, methods, and params: reference/endpoints.md.

Calling the API

# Filtered search — AI team, remote-only, newest first:
scripts/crawlora.sh /meta-jobs/search teams="Artificial Intelligence" is_remote_only=true sort_by_new=true | jq '.'

# Full catalog, paged:
scripts/crawlora.sh /meta-jobs/list page=1 page_size=200 | jq '.'

# Single posting by id (id comes from search/list results):
scripts/crawlora.sh /meta-jobs/job id=1234567890123456 | jq '.'

Raw curl fallback:

curl -fsS -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/meta-jobs/search?teams=Security&results_per_page=all" | jq '.'

Endpoint reference

See reference/endpoints.md for all 3 Meta Jobs endpoints this skill uses.

Examples

• "Is Meta ramping up hiring in AR/VR?" — /meta-jobs/search teams=AR/VR sort_by_new=true, review the resulting postings' dates and locations for a hiring-velocity read.
• Weekly new-requisition diff: page /meta-jobs/list by last_modified, store the id set, and diff against last week's run to surface newly-opened roles.

Notes & limits

• Credits / pay-on-success: billed only on 2xx; free tier 2,000 credits/mo. Key at https://crawlora.net.
• Public data only — public postings from metacareers.com; respect Meta's terms.
• Security: key lives in CRAWLORA_API_KEY only — never hardcode, query-param, or commit it.
• q is a facet-name match, not full-text search — it matches team, technology, location, or ref/req-code, not job titles or descriptions; use teams for a topical filter instead.
• teams and roles are closed enums — see reference/endpoints.md for the exact values (team names double as technology names in the same field); values outside the enum won't match.
• offices is a repeatable location-id filter in Meta's own id format (e.g. menlo-park, london), not a free-text city name, and not a closed enum — get valid ids from search results.
• Results are paginated on /meta-jobs/list (page, page_size, max 200) — walk it to enumerate the full catalog.
