Silently discarded flags produced silently wrong results: jobdanmark with --query (its real flag is --text) returned all 13,862 jobs as if they matched, exit 0, empty stderr - indistinguishable from a real result set. The four bunli CLIs get an argv preflight built from each command's own options object; linkedin and freehire validate parsed flags against per-command known sets. help/version still pass, and add-portal.md's existing bogus-flag-exits-1 contract now holds for the reference implementations contributors copy. One linkedin pin updated: "--jobage-minutes -5" now fails as UNKNOWN_FLAG (the stray -5 token) rather than BAD_ARG - same loud-failure invariant, earlier gate.

Note
: The
descriptionfield (raw HTML) is intentionally omitted fromsearchresults for brevity. Usedetailto retrieve the full job description.
Note
: Every result also carries the cross-portal contract fields
company,location,date,deadlineandurl— derived respectively fromhiringOrgName,postalDistrictName/municipality, and the jobnet detail page URL./scrapeStep 2 expects search output to include title, company, location, date, and URL, and dates follow theYYYY-MM-DDconvention of the other portal CLIs. The API's1900-01-01deadline sentinel (deadline not disclosed) maps tonull. The native fields above are preserved unchanged.
Note
:
resultsPerPageandpageNumbermust always be provided — omitting them while also providingsearchStringcauses the API to return error 1014 ("Fejl i formatering af inputs").
detail — Full job ad detail
Endpoint: GET /FindJob/JobAdDetails/{id}
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.

string | required | Search term for occupation, e.g. sygeplejerske |
--per-page |
number | 10 |

--format |
string | json |
Output format: json, table, plain |
Example
bun run src/cli.ts occupations --search-string "sygeplejerske" --per-page 5

"aliasIdentifier": "some-uuid",
"conceptUriDa": "http://data.star.dk/esco/occupation/56f5d45c-1234-4321-abcd-000000000000",
"alternativeLabelDa": "Operationssygeplejerske"
}
]
}
]
Note
:
conceptUriDais the full ESCO concept URI. The UUID portion (last path segment) can be used to build occupation filters forsearch.
suggestions — Typeahead suggestions
Endpoint: GET /FindJob/GetTypeaheadSuggestions
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
bun run src/cli.ts suggestions --query "syge"
bun run src/cli.ts suggestions --query "ingeniør" --limit 5
Response shape
[
"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:
{ "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/bffREST API — no credentials required. - The
x-csrf: 1header must be sent with every request. - Pagination is 1-indexed (
--page 1is the first page). searchresults intentionally omit the HTMLdescriptionfield — usedetailto fetch it.bodyindetailresponses is raw HTML; use--format plainto get stripped text.- The
occupationscommand helps discover ESCO occupation URIs usable as--occupation-area/--occupation-groupseeds for narrowing search results.
