# Best LinkedIn job search API in 2026

> We benchmarked 6 LinkedIn job search API providers. We list the three we score highest. For each one, we show its top scoring plan, each part of the plan's score and what 1,000 jobs cost.

The Data score on LinkedIn job search: We asked each call for 10 jobs per search. This score, out of 100, is the share of those 10 that the call returned and that match the search. We check each job on its own LinkedIn page. A match is still open and in the country searched. It also has the searched word where the call's docs say the call looks: the job's title or its whole posting. If a provider ran on fewer searches, we compare it with how the others did on those same searches. That way, easy searches can't raise its score. If we called a provider more than once on the same search, we score it on all those calls. That way, one run can't decide its score.
