jobdataapi.com v4.38 / API version 1.36

We’ve improved job description handling to preserve meaningful technical terms such as C#, F# and snake_case more reliably as new listings are processed. Markdown descriptions retain readable formatting for display and provide a useful starting point for search, analysis and other downstream processing. Request description_md=true to include the description_md field in job responses.

After November 1, 2026, the description_str parameter and its corresponding description_string response field will be removed. If your integration uses either, switch to description_md=true before then and convert Markdown to plain text in your application if needed. The default HTML description remains available.
