Hirebase vs BlitzAPI: which job data API is better?

• Getting a job back is not the hard part. Knowing it is still open is. BlitzAPI's jobs carry no open or closed field, so its search filters by how long ago a job was posted.
• A longer window finds more and returns more closed roles. For Ramp, BlitzAPI found 33% of the open roles over 30 days, 75% over 90 days and 90% over a year. Of the roles it returned, 8%, 29% and 68% were no longer on Ramp's board.
• One open role comes back as 2 to 3 postings. LinkedIn lists a role once per city and once per repost, and BlitzAPI returns each one: 824 postings for 332 open Stripe roles over 30 days.
• New roles are a tie. Of the 14 roles Ramp published in the week before our test, Hirebase had 14 and BlitzAPI 13.
• Per record, BlitzAPI is cheaper. $99 buys 200,000 BlitzAPI records against 25,000 Hirebase jobs. That holds even after counting 2 to 3 postings per open role.

This is the Hirebase half of our test: it scores Hirebase against Ramp's own Ashby board, by job ID. For BlitzAPI, match its results on job title instead, since its records carry LinkedIn links rather than the employer's job IDs.

import os

import requests

BOARD = "https://api.ashbyhq.com/posting-api/job-board/ramp"
API = "https://api.hirebase.org/v2/jobs/search"
HEADERS = {"X-API-Key": os.environ["HIREBASE_API_KEY"]}

# The employer's own board is the answer key: every job on it is open today
open_ids = {j["id"] for j in requests.get(BOARD, timeout=60).json()["jobs"]}

ids, page = [], 1
while True:
    body = {"company_name": ["Ramp"], "page": page, "limit": 100}
    d = requests.post(API, headers=HEADERS, json=body, timeout=120).json()
    ids += [j.get("platform_job_id") for j in d.get("jobs", [])]
    if not d.get("jobs") or page >= (d.get("total_pages") or 0):
        break
    page += 1

found = set(ids)
print("open on Ramp's board:", len(open_ids))
print("found by the API:    ", len(open_ids & found))
print("not on the board:    ", len(found - open_ids))  # closed, or another company's
print("duplicate records:   ", len(ids) - len(found))

What it printed when we ran it on October 29, 2026, with pip install requests:

open on Ramp's board: 168
found by the API:     168
not on the board:     0
duplicate records:    0

Ramp's 168 jobs fit inside Hirebase's free plan of 500 jobs a month.
