Added API Access Lite Plan + Smarter Age-Window Defaults for Jobs API
jobdataapi.com 4.24 / API version 1.27
We’ve introduced a new API access lite subscription plan and updated /api/jobs/ query behavior to improve response efficiency and reduce unnecessary data transfer on broad queries.
By default, /api/jobs/ now uses a latest 90-day window (max_age=90) when no age/date/ID slicing is provided. This helps keep common requests faster and leaner, especially for high-volume usage patterns.
To avoid silent cutoffs when you intentionally query ranges, the default 90-day window is automatically not applied as soon as you use any slicing parameter (published_since, published_until, min_id, max_id, min_age, or max_age).
If you're on a non-lite access plan, you can also explicitly disable age limiting with:
max_age=offmax_age=nullmax_age=0
The new API access lite plan is optimized for recent-job workflows and is always limited to the latest 90 days on /api/jobs/. Date/ID/age slicing parameters are not available on API access lite.
These updates are designed to balance speed, resource efficiency, and predictable query behavior across plans. See the updated Jobs API Endpoint Documentation for full details.
