Use this endpoint when you only need numbers - e.g. for labour market analysis or to size a query before paging through search. It accepts the same filters as search. This endpoint returns the total number of job postings matching the specified query parameters. The response is per default a simple JSON object containing the count of job postings as well as the used query send to the underlying database. With the format parameter other output formats can be requested.

Responses
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| 200 | Success - indicating a correct query execution with results |
| 400 | Bad Request - A parameter value could not be parsed, e.g. an unknown countryCode, an invalid date or sort value. Solution: Check the value against the parameter description. The message names the invalid parameter. |
| 401 | Unauthorized - The key is missing or invalid, or the request was sent directly to the backend instead of RapidAPI. Solution: Send your key in the header X-RapidAPI-Key and use the base URL https://daily-international-job-postings.p.rapidapi.com. Copy the key again from the RapidAPI listing if it was rotated. |
| 403 | Forbidden - Either you are not subscribed to this API ("You are not subscribed to this API."), or the endpoint is not included in your plan (e.g. /api/v2/meta/jobs/distinct and /api/v2/meta/jobs/statistics need at least the Pro plan). Solution: Subscribe to the Basic plan, or upgrade to the plan named in requiredPlan. The response contains message, requiredPlan and pricingUrl. |
| 404 | Not Found - The endpoint path does not exist (typo, wrong API version) or a required search parameter is missing, or the requested field does not exist. Solution: Check the path and add at least one search parameter (e.g. countryCode). The message lists the allowed parameters or fields. |
| 405 | Method Not Allowed - Another HTTP method than GET was used. Solution: Use GET. |
| 429 | Too Many Requests - Too many requests in a short time window (rate limit of your RapidAPI plan, e.g. 1 request/second on Basic). This is not a monthly limit - the plans have no hard limit, extra requests are billed as overage. RapidAPI also answers 429 after repeated calls with an invalid key. Solution: Slow down and retry with exponential backoff (e.g. 1 s, 2 s, 4 s). If it persists, check that your key is valid. |
| 500 | Internal Server Error - An unexpected error on our side. Solution: Retry once. If it persists, contact data@techmap.io with the full request URL (without your key). |
| 503 | Service Unavailable - The search backend is temporarily unavailable. Solution: Retry later with exponential backoff. |
