```

> **Note**: The `description` field (raw HTML) is intentionally omitted from `search` results for brevity. Use `detail` to retrieve the full job description.

> **Note**: Every result also carries the cross-portal contract fields `company`, `location`, `date`, `deadline` and `url` — derived respectively from `hiringOrgName`, `postalDistrictName`/`municipality`, and the jobnet detail page URL. `/scrape` Step 2 expects search output to include title, company, location, date, and URL, and dates follow the `YYYY-MM-DD` convention of the other portal CLIs. The API's `1900-01-01` deadline sentinel (deadline not disclosed) maps to `null`. The native fields above are preserved unchanged.

> **Note**: `resultsPerPage` and `pageNumber` must always be provided — omitting them while also providing `searchString` causes the API to return error 1014 ("Fejl i formatering af inputs").

---

## `detail` — Full job ad detail

**Endpoint**: `GET /FindJob/JobAdDetails/{id}`

```bash
bun run src/cli.ts detail <id> [--format json|plain]
```

The `id` is the `jobAdId` UUID from `search` results.

By default the CLI passes `incrementViews=false` to avoid polluting view counts.

### Example

```bash
bun run src/cli.ts detail 9ef43bce-d82b-4ea1-a098-7ff6520f99be
bun run src/cli.ts detail 9ef43bce-d82b-4ea1-a098-7ff6520f99be --format plain
```

### Response shape

```

> **Note**: `body` contains raw HTML. In `--format plain` output the CLI strips HTML tags to produce readable text.

> **Note**: `application.url` may be empty for some job ads — the employer may only accept applications through Jobnet's internal system.

## `occupations` — Search occupation types

**Endpoint**: `GET /OccupationSearch`

```bash
bun run src/cli.ts occupations --search-string <text> [flags]
```

Use this command to find occupation identifiers (ESCO concept URIs) to pass as filters to `search`.

### Flags

| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
|------|------|---------|-------------|
| `--search-string` | string | **required** | Search term for occupation, e.g. `sygeplejerske` |
| `--per-page` | number | `10` | Max results to return |
| `--format` | string | `json` | Output format: `json`, `table`, `plain` |

### Example

```bash
bun run src/cli.ts occupations --search-string "sygeplejerske" --per-page 5
```

### Response shape

```json
[
  {
    "conceptUriDa": "http://data.star.dk/esco/occupation/56f5d45c-1234-4321-abcd-000000000000",
    "preferredLabelDa": "Sygeplejerske",
    "aliases": [
      {
        "aliasIdentifier": "some-uuid",
        "conceptUriDa": "http://data.star.dk/esco/occupation/56f5d45c-1234-4321-abcd-000000000000",
        "alternativeLabelDa": "Operationssygeplejerske"
      }
    ]
  }
]
```

> **Note**: `conceptUriDa` is the full ESCO concept URI. The UUID portion (last path segment) can be used to build occupation filters for `search`.

---

## `suggestions` — Typeahead suggestions

**Endpoint**: `GET /FindJob/GetTypeaheadSuggestions`

```bash
bun run src/cli.ts suggestions --query <text> [flags]
```

Returns autocomplete strings for the search box — useful for exploring valid Danish job titles before running a `search`.

### Flags

| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
|------|------|---------|-------------|
| `--query` | string | **required** | Partial search string to complete |
| `--limit` | number | — | Cap number of suggestions returned |
| `--format` | string | `json` | Output format: `json`, `table`, `plain` |

### Example

```bash
bun run src/cli.ts suggestions --query "syge"
bun run src/cli.ts suggestions --query "ingeniør" --limit 5
```

### Response shape

```json
[
  "sygepleje",
  "Sygeplejerske",
  "Sygeplejerske \"Lægeassistent\""
]
```

> **Note**: Suggestions are tuned for Danish job titles. English terms like "developer" may return an empty array.

---

## Error handling

All errors are written to **stderr** in JSON format and exit with code `1`:

```json
{ "error": "Job ad not found", "code": "NOT_FOUND" }
{ "error": "API request failed: 500 Internal Server Error", "code": "API_ERROR" }
{ "error": "--query is required", "code": "MISSING_REQUIRED" }
{ "error": "--search-string is required", "code": "MISSING_REQUIRED" }
```

---

## URL construction

Job ad detail pages on jobnet.dk:

```
https://jobnet.dk/find-job/{jobAdId}
```

The legacy `https://jobnet.dk/job/{jobAdId}` route redirects anonymous visitors into the
MitID login flow, so it is never emitted. External ads (`isExternal: true`, jobAdIds with an
`E` prefix) 404 on `/find-job/` and hit the login wall on `/job/` - neither route serves them
anonymously; `/find-job/` is still strictly better and external ads are left as-is.

Company logo images (prefix relative logoUrl from API):

```
https://jobnet.dk{logoUrl}
```

Example: `https://jobnet.dk/bff/SharedComponents/JobAdCard/CompanyLogo/ByJobAdId/9ef43bce-d82b-4ea1-a098-7ff6520f99be`

## Notes

- All data is from the public `jobnet.dk/bff` REST API — no credentials required.
- The `x-csrf: 1` header must be sent with every request.
- Pagination is 1-indexed (`--page 1` is the first page).
- `search` results intentionally omit the HTML `description` field — use `detail` to fetch it.
- `body` in `detail` responses is raw HTML; use `--format plain` to get stripped text.
- The `occupations` command helps discover ESCO occupation URIs usable as `--occupation-area` / `--occupation-group` seeds for narrowing search results.
