    {
      "question": "Is there a free salary API in this comparison?",
      "answer": "The 5 listed services have positive per-call prices for their task endpoints. A free trial, a credit pack or an unbilled empty result is a provider statement and does not make the paid route free. Check the terms for the exact request."
    },
    {
      "question": "How much do 100,000 salary or job calls cost?",
      "answer": "Using the median selected endpoint, 100,000 calls total $2,000.00 at $0.02 per call. That assumes one call per query; paging through results, per-record prices and repeated checks change the total."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is the salary in a job posting a salary benchmark?",
      "answer": "No. It is the pay an employer advertised for one opening, when it advertised any. A benchmark needs many data points with a stated method. The page lists salary figures and postings as separate data types."
    },
    {
      "question": "Where do the salary figures come from?",
      "answer": "Read each provider's description. Where the listing does not state the source, the method or the period of a figure, ask the provider before you quote it, and test with a role whose pay you already know."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I search LinkedIn jobs through these APIs?",
      "answer": "As of October 26, 2026, 2 listed services name LinkedIn as a source of job listings. Check what one call returns, how results are paged and whether the provider's terms cover your use."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I get every open role of one employer?",
      "answer": "As of October 26, 2026, 1 listed service documents a route that reads an employer's applicant-tracking system. Check that the employer uses a supported system; otherwise a keyword search that includes the employer's name can find some of its postings on job boards."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is the price per call or per record?",
      "answer": "It depends on the provider. The table shows the captured quote of each route; a provider can state a per-record price in its description. Request the payment requirement for your exact query before you budget a search."
    },
    {
      "question": "How fresh are job postings?",
      "answer": "Postings change daily and can close soon after you read them. Store the posting date and the apply link, and re-check an opening before acting on it. Freshness claims in descriptions are provider statements."
    },
    {
      "question": "Does an HTTP 402 check prove the data is correct?",
      "answer": "It shows that the endpoint asks for payment. It does not show that a settled request returns accurate salary figures or live postings. The listing reports monitoring and payment observations separately from provider claims."
    },
    {
      "question": "Does latency show how long a search takes?",
      "answer": "No. The latency column comes from unpaid monitoring checks. A paid search across several boards can take much longer, depending on the provider and the size of the result."
