JobBoard.io backfill: live jobs for your JobBoard.io job board
How JobBoard.io imports jobs, and how to feed it from our API.
JobBoard.io is a hosted job board service.
Import details below come from the vendor's documentation, checked on 2026-10-19.
How JobBoard.io imports jobs
JobBoard.io offers three documented ways to fill a board: an admin CSV upload, an automatic import from a third-party XML feed, and a ZipRecruiter backfill.
The XML import runs on a schedule you choose: daily, weekly or monthly. Jobs that are missing from the feed are expired automatically the next time the feed is processed.
The CSV upload expects the columns title, company, location, description and either apply_url or apply_email, in UTF-8. The ZipRecruiter backfill lives under Job Settings, Backfill, and needs a ZipRecruiter API key.
Accepted formats
- XML feed URL (the only feed format)
- CSV upload (UTF-8)
Limits and plans
- The three documentation pages state no plan gating.
“At this time only XML is available.”
Documentation
Connect jobs-database.de to JobBoard.io
- Pull jobs from our API: GET https://api.jobs-database.de/v1/jobs with the X-API-Key header and limit=100, and follow next_cursor until has_more is false.
- For a recurring import write an XML feed, because the vendor accepts only XML for feeds. For a one-off load write a CSV with the columns title, company, location, description and apply_url or apply_email.
- Set up the third-party XML import at the documented page, map the feed tags to board fields, and pick daily, weekly or monthly.
- Jobs missing from the feed expire on the next processing, so always publish the full current set.
- Or ask us for a full-feed file in that format, so you do not have to build the export yourself.
Paging, limits and the exact response are described in the API quick start.
