Work at a Startup API

Does Work at a Startup have a public API?

Work at a Startup does not publish a developer API; jobs, company profiles and applications are reached through the signed-in site at workatastartup.com. Integuru's 12 verified actions give a connected candidate login direct HTTP access to search, job and company detail, saved jobs, applications and conversations, and every application call defaults to a dry run that submits nothing.

What you can do with the Work at a Startup API

Discovery. search_jobs searches the posting itself (title, description and skills, not company text) with role (aliases such as engineering map to eng), remote and a 1-based page, where 0 now returns 400. list_new_jobs returns newest first and adds since, min_salary and location; those three and batch are applied locally to the fetched page, so the response flags them with *_filter_applied_locally and total is not reduced. get_job_details returns a posting with its custom questions, and get_company_profile takes a lowercase slug, normalising a full URL down to it.

Applying and saving. apply_to_job validates message (the site requires at least 50 characters) and custom_question_answers against the job's real questions and, with dry_run left at its default of true, returns the exact payload without contacting the company; set it to false only for a live submit, with open_to_relocation as an optional flag. save_job, unsave_job and list_saved_jobs (hydrated to full job objects by default, 25 per call) manage the shortlist.

Account. get_my_full_profile and get_personal_profile read the candidate profile, list_my_applications pages applications 10 at a time, and list_my_conversations filters threads by state and unread_only with a limit of 50.

Who uses this

Candidate copilots poll list_new_jobs with since set to the last run, score the matches, save the good ones and prepare a dry-run application for the user to approve before flipping dry_run to false. Recruiting and talent-intelligence tools read job and company detail alongside Wellfound and YC Bookface through one auth model. The AI agents industry page covers the propose-then-apply pattern these actions were designed around.

Setup notes

Integuru authenticates against www.workatastartup.com with the connected candidate's own login. Leave dry_run at its default until a human has reviewed the payload. page is 1-based on search_jobs, and hits_per_page is accepted as a deprecated alias for page_size. Batch, salary, location and date filters run locally on the fetched page, so raise page_size before relying on them to fill a page.
