• is_hiring read-only

  WHEN an agent already holds a company and needs to qualify it -- the cheap gate before spending a richer call. LinkedIn-excluded (ATS tenants plus public job boards and aggregators) and freshness-floored. Takes the integer `company_id` from an earlier result, not a company name or domain. company_id=1234 -> is_hiring true, open_req_count 7, coverage_status "ats_direct_hit". company_id=5678 -> is_hiring false with coverage_status "no_ats_signal" -- that company has no ATS coverage yet, which is not evidence it is quiet, so do not score it as a negative. No key yet? Pass `plane_api_key` as an empty string and the call answers with a signup link instead of an auth error. To find companies in the first place, use `who_is_hiring_for`.

  Parameters:

  • company_id (required) — integer
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.
  • idempotency_key

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• get_open_reqs read-only

  The company's current active reqs, deduped across boards -- LinkedIn-excluded: ATS tenants plus public job boards and aggregators; each row's `boards` names its source. Freshness-floored. Each row's `first_seen` is our first observation of the req, not the employer's posting date; `source_posted_at` is the date the source itself published, null when it gave none. `function` is a function name (a prior result's `function_name`, like 'Software & IT') or a function id (its `function`); anything else, like 'engineering', is rejected with an explicit error that lists the names, rather than an empty result. `limit` is bounded: an oversized page is rejected rather than truncated.

  Parameters:

  • company_id (required) — integer
  • limit — integer
  • country
  • function
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.
  • idempotency_key

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• hiring_pulse read-only

  One number set for one company: how many reqs it opened in the last 30 days, a `velocity` ratio of that against the 30 days before it, a `direction` of up / flat / down between the two, a surge flag, and `momentum` -- postings published per week, a flow rather than a stock. Use it to rank or score a company you already hold a `company_id` for. Freshness is controlled by `max_age` (seconds); a company with no ATS/board data yet returns `{job_id, status: "crawling"}` instead of a body -- poll again later, do not read it as "not hiring". For the whole picture in one round-trip use `pre_action_brief`; for a cheap yes/no use `is_hiring`.

  Parameters:

  • company_id (required) — integer
  • max_age
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.
  • idempotency_key

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• who_is_hiring_for read-only

  WHEN an agent needs to FIND the companies worth working -- the sourcing step, before it knows which companies exist. Reverse who's-hiring-for {title, geo} search: companies with active reqs matching `q`/`geo`/`since`, deduped by company, keyset-paginated via `cursor`. `q` is free text matched against the posting title, not an id; plurals and other inflections match, so "backend engineers" is the same search. `geo` is resolved to a stored country before matching; an unresolvable one is an explicit error, never a quietly partial page. `limit` is bounded -- page through the full set with `cursor` instead of raising it. Billed per company returned (~0.10 EUR each) -- an empty result bills nothing. q="backend engineer", geo="USA" -> the companies with matching active reqs, each with its pulse and its matched reqs. geo="Atlantis" -> an explicit unresolvable-country error rather than an empty page. No key yet? Pass `plane_api_key` as an empty string and the call answers with a signup link instead of rows; on the hosted HTTP endpoint the key it mints finishes this exact search. Already holding a company_id and only need a yes/no? Use `is_hiring`.

  Parameters:

  • q
  • geo
  • limit — integer
  • since
  • cursor
  • source_type
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.
  • idempotency_key
  • exclude_agencies — boolean

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• search_jobs read-only

  Flat, role-granular job search -- the individual open roles across companies matching `function` / `geo` (country) / `since`, one row per logical req (each with its own `company_id` + `req_key`), LinkedIn-excluded (ATS tenants plus public job boards and aggregators; each row's `board` names its source) + freshness-floored. `since` filters on `first_seen`, our first observation of the req (not the employer's posting date); each row's `source_posted_at` is the date the source itself published, null when it gave none. Keyset-paginated via the opaque `cursor` (a prior call's `next_cursor`). Use `who_is_hiring_for` for the company-granular reverse view. `function` is a function name (a prior result's `function_name`, like 'Software & IT') or a function id (its `function`); anything else, like 'engineering', is rejected with an explicit error that lists the names, rather than an empty result -- pass plain language as `q` instead, which searches the posting's own title, expanded semantically to nearby titles, and reports each row's `relevance` (0-1). `exclude_employer_types` (e.g. ['staffing']) drops roles whose posting is classified as that employer type -- 'direct', 'staffing', 'consultancy' or 'unknown'; unclassified roles are kept unless 'unknown' is listed. `q` is independent of `function`: pass both to search titles within one function. `sort` is 'relevance' (the default with a `q`) or 'recency'; omit both and the page keeps its stable default order. `limit` is bounded: an oversized page is rejected rather than truncated, so page through the full set with `cursor` instead of raising `limit`. No key yet? The call answers with a signup link instead of rows.

  Parameters:

  • q
  • geo
  • sort
  • limit — integer
  • since
  • cursor
  • function
  • source_type
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.
  • idempotency_key
  • exclude_agencies — boolean
  • exclude_employer_types

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• get_role read-only

  One open role's detail, addressed by the `company_id` + `req_key` pair every `search_jobs` row already carries -- the follow-up call for a role you hold an identifier for, instead of re-pulling the whole company with `get_open_reqs`. Scoped exactly as `search_jobs` is: LinkedIn-excluded (ATS tenants plus public job boards and aggregators) and freshness-floored. The body adds `raw_title` (the posting's own title) and `boards`, the full deduped list of boards reporting this req. A role that does not exist, is closed, or has not reached the freshness floor is an explicit error, never an empty success -- and it is not billed. No key yet? The call answers with a signup link instead of the role.

  Parameters:

  • company_id (required) — integer
  • req_key (required) — string
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.
  • idempotency_key

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• find_qualified_reqs read-only

  WHEN an agent already knows its ideal customer profile and wants the matching open roles as rows it can act on: several countries, an industry, a headcount band and title keywords in ONE call, instead of a search followed by a lookup per company. `criteria` takes up to three groups -- `company` (country, industry, industry_terms, headcount_band, company_kind), `req` (q, q_excludes, seniority_level, function, skills, remote_type, location) and `event` (company_id, board, source_type, ats_vendor, country) -- AND across fields, OR within one. A field outside that list is an explicit error, never quietly dropped. criteria={"company": {"country": ["United States", "Germany"]}, "req": {"q": ["backend engineer"]}} -> live backend roles in both countries, each row naming the company and carrying the posting URL, seniority, skills and declared or estimated yearly pay. `salary_min_usd` / `salary_max_usd` bracket that pay. Agencies and expired postings are excluded by default. Page with `cursor` (the previous `next_cursor`); `limit` is bounded. Billed per row returned, and an empty page bills nothing. Needs an API key: without one the answer is a signup link. For a first look at who is hiring before you have a key, use `who_is_hiring_for`.

  Parameters:

  • criteria (required) — object
  • limit — integer
  • since
  • cursor
  • live_only — boolean
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.
  • salary_max_usd
  • salary_min_usd
  • idempotency_key
  • exclude_agencies — boolean

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• pre_action_brief read-only

  Everything an agent needs before acting on one company, in one bounded round-trip instead of five: the hiring pulse, its top open reqs deduped across boards, first-hire-by-function events, hardest-to-fill (reposted) reqs and ATS-vendor migrations, pre-joined and each section capped so the payload stays compact. Use it right before writing outreach or a qualification note for a `company_id` you already hold. Honors `max_age` (seconds); a company with no ATS/board data returns `{job_id, status: "crawling"}`. If you only need the velocity number, `hiring_pulse` is cheaper.

  Parameters:

  • company_id (required) — integer
  • max_age
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.
  • idempotency_key

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• get_changes read-only

  The change feed, not a search: ledger events -- a req opened, re-observed, reposted or closed -- with `event_seq > since`, ascending, plus `next_cursor`. Replay with `next_cursor` instead of polling or re-searching; an empty page bills nothing and one `change` unit is metered per event returned. Filter by `company_id`, or by one exact `event_type`. `limit` is bounded -- page with the cursor rather than raising it. Free-tier callers see events at the same freshness floor as every other free read. This is the pull-based twin of `watch_company` (push via webhook).

  Parameters:

  • since (required) — integer
  • limit — integer
  • company_id
  • event_type
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.
  • idempotency_key

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• find_company read-only

  WHEN you hold a company's website or name but not the `company_id` every company-scoped tool takes (`is_hiring`, `get_open_reqs`, `hiring_pulse`, `pre_action_brief`, `watch_company`). Pass exactly one of `domain` or `name`; both or neither is an error naming that rule. `domain` takes a bare host or a full URL and matches exactly ({"domain": "https://www.stripe.com/jobs"} -> the companies at `stripe.com`); `name` returns up to five candidates, each with a `match_confidence` -- 1.0 for an exact name, 0.8 for a match once legal suffixes are dropped. Each company carries `company_id`, `company_name`, `company_domain`, `country_code` and `coverage_status`, and no hiring signal: ask `is_hiring` for that. Nothing matching is an empty `companies` list, never an error. Never billed. No key yet? The call answers with a signup link instead of companies.

  Parameters:

  • name
  • domain
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• register_webhook

  Register the delivery target a watch fires to, and get back the `webhook_endpoint_id` `watch_company` needs -- call this first if you do not already hold one. Idempotent: registering the same `url` twice returns the same id, so retrying is safe and never leaves you with two endpoints. `secret` is optional; supply one to verify the `X-Reqbeat-Signature` on delivered payloads, omit it and one is generated and returned once in `secret` (never again after this call). Registration itself is free -- the `watch_company` call that follows is what bills.

  Parameters:

  • url (required) — string
  • secret
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• watch_company

  Subscribe to a company's hiring events on a registered webhook -- `webhook_endpoint_id` must belong to the same customer as the authenticated key. Meters one `watch` unit. `event_types` names which events fire it, at least one of: `opened` (a req seen for the first time), `reobserved` (a known req seen again on a later day), `reposted` (a req that came back after it was gone), `closed` (a req verified gone from its source), `role_hard_to_fill` (an employer's own role pulled and put back, or pulled after 30+ days unfilled), `sponsor_added` (the company joined the UK register of licensed sponsors), `officer_appointed` and `officer_resigned` (a Companies House officer change, with its role, date and company number). Anything else is refused and creates nothing: a watch on a type that never fires would be billed and silent. A free key holds a limited number of watches at once; the one past that is refused with the same 402 the REST route raises, and cancelling a watch returns the slot.

  Parameters:

  • company_id (required) — integer
  • event_types (required) — array
  • webhook_endpoint_id (required) — integer
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.
  • idempotency_key

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world yes

• list_watches read-only

  WHEN you need to see what you are subscribed to -- before adding a watch, or to find the `id` `cancel_watch` takes. Returns your live watches newest first, cancelled ones excluded: {} -> {"watches": [{"id": ..., "company_id": ..., "event_types": [...], "webhook_endpoint_id": ..., "status": "firing", ...}]}. Each also reports its heartbeat -- `last_fired_at`, `fires_last_7d`, `fires_last_30d`, `fires_last_hour` against `max_fires_per_hour`, `rate_limited`, and a one-word `status` -- so a watch silent because nobody is hiring reads differently from one that can never match or whose endpoint is failing. Never billed. Needs your key: a blank one returns a signup link.

  Parameters:

  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• cancel_watch destructive

  WHEN a watch should stop firing. Takes the `id` `watch_company` returned (or `list_watches` lists): {"watch_id": 42} -> {"id": 42, "canceled": true}. Idempotent -- cancelling a watch you already cancelled succeeds again. An id that is not one of your watches is an error, identical whether it belongs to someone else or does not exist. Frees the slot a free key's watch limit counts. Never billed. Needs your key: a blank one returns a signup link.

  Parameters:

  • watch_id (required) — integer
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive yes · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• write_outcome

  WHEN a company you reached through a signal converts -- a reply, a meeting, a closed deal -- report it back. Takes the `company_id`, a short `outcome` label of your choosing (e.g. "meeting_booked"), the `observed_at` time it happened and, optionally, the `req_key` of the role that prompted the outreach: {"company_id": 1234, "outcome": "meeting_booked", "observed_at": "2026-10-01T09:00:00Z"} -> {"id": 87}. Each call adds one record, visible only to your own account; nothing is overwritten, so report a later stage as a new outcome. Never billed. Needs your key: a blank one returns a signup link.

  Parameters:

  • company_id (required) — integer
  • outcome (required) — string
  • observed_at (required) — string
  • req_key
  • plane_api_key — Deprecated: pass the key in the `X-API-Key` header. Removed in 1.2.

  Hints: read-only no · destructive no · idempotent no · open-world yes
