## How to use it

Search our index with an API key. Self-service sign-up is not open yet, so you get a key through a demo. Each job has a country field (`countries_derived`); the search takes a text query only, so you keep the Japan postings in your own code.

```
curl -G -H "X-API-Key: $JOBS_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "q=Manufacturing Operator" \
  "https://api.jobs-database.de/v1/search"
```

The full field list is in the [field reference](https://jobs-database.de/api-documentation/field-reference). Job descriptions are not part of the API.
