Note
: The
descriptionfield (raw HTML) is intentionally omitted fromsearchresults for brevity. Usedetailto retrieve the full job description.
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.
Example
bun run src/cli.ts detail 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.
