FAQ

Questions

Is this the official Wellfound API?: No. Toolzer Hub is not affiliated with Wellfound. Ours reads public Wellfound job search, job pages and the startup directory with one key.
What does the official Wellfound API allow?: Wellfound's help center covers integrations that run into Wellfound: you give it your ATS's API key and it imports your job posts. Its General Terms forbid copying content "through the use of automated or non-automated harvesting, collection or “scraping”", and the old AngelList API at api.angel.co answers 404.
What data does it return?: Search jobs, Job details, Startups, as JSON.
What does it cost?: 1 credit per call. New workspaces get 100 credits a month at no cost; plans work out to $0.99 to $1.45 per 1,000 credits. Failed calls are not charged.
