Jobindex Search

Jobindex Search Skill

Search live Danish job listings from Jobindex.dk. No authentication needed. Covers thousands of job postings across all sectors, updated in real time.

When to use this skill

Invoke this skill when the user wants to:

• Search for job openings in Denmark by keyword, job title, or technology
• Find jobs in a specific Danish city (use keyword with city name, e.g. python aarhus)
• Filter jobs by recency (posted today, last 7 days, last 30 days)
• Get the full description of a specific job listing
• Explore the Danish job market for a given profession or skill set

Commands

Search job listings

bun run skills/jobindex-search/cli/src/cli.ts search [flags]

Key flags:

• --query <text> / -q <text> — keyword search (job title, skill, company, city). Required for meaningful results.
• --jobage <days> — filter by posting age: 1 (today), 7, 14, 30, or 9999 (all, default)
• --sort <order> — score (relevance, default) or date (newest first)
• --page <n> — page number (1-indexed, 20 results per page, fixed)
• --limit <n> — cap total results the CLI outputs (client-side)
• --format json|table|plain

Area note: The Jobindex API does not support area filtering via params. To find jobs in a specific city, include the city in --query (e.g. --query "data engineer københavn" or --query "python aarhus").

Fetch full job detail

bun run skills/jobindex-search/cli/src/cli.ts detail <id> [--format json|plain]

id is the job ID from search results (e.g. h1647303). You may also pass the full Jobindex URL. Returns the full job description, deadline, employment type, hours, and apply link.

---

How to use effectively

Always start with `search`. Pass the job title, skill, or profession as --query. Combine with a city name in the query to narrow by location (e.g. --query "frontend developer odense").

Use `--jobage 7` or `--jobage 1` for fresh listings. Without it, results include all historical postings.

Use `--sort date` to see the most recently posted jobs first. Default score sorts by relevance.

Natural workflow: `search` → `detail`. 1. Use search to find matching jobs and their id values. 2. Call detail <id> to get the full description, deadline, and apply link.

Use `--format table` for quick scanning, --format json for data processing, and --format plain for reading a single job's full details.

Pagination: The API always returns 20 results per page. Use --page to navigate pages. Use --limit to cap results across one page fetch.

Output formats

All errors are written to stderr as { "error": "...", "code": "..." } and the process exits with code 1.

Notes

• All data is from the public jobindex.dk API — no credentials required.
• Page size is fixed at 20 results per page (Jobindex API limitation).
• Area/region filtering via API params does not work — include city names in --query instead.
• --jobage 9999 is the default and includes all postings regardless of age.
• Total count in meta.total uses Danish dot-thousands notation internally (e.g. 18.903) — the CLI normalizes this to a plain integer.
• Job IDs are string-prefixed (e.g. h1647303) — pass them as-is to detail.

Sort options

jobage options

Example

# Search for Python jobs posted in the last 7 days, sorted by date
bun run src/cli.ts search --query python --jobage 7 --sort date

# Search for "grafisk designer" jobs — show first 5 results
bun run src/cli.ts search --query "grafisk designer" --limit 5

# Page 2 of results for data engineer
bun run src/cli.ts search --query "data engineer" --page 2 --format table

Response shape

{
  "meta": {
    "total": 237,
    "page": 1,
    "perPage": 20
  },
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "h1647303",
      "title": "Data Engineer til opbygning af Gavefabrikkens dataplatform",
      "company": "Gavefabrikken",
      "companyUrl": "https://www.gavefabrikken.dk/",
      "location": "Valby",
      "date": "2026-03-12",
      "url": "https://www.jobindex.dk/jobannonce/h1647303/data-engineer-til-opbygning-af-gavefabrikkens-dataplatform",
      "description": "Vi søger en dygtig Data Engineer til at opbygge og vedligeholde vores dataplatform..."
    }
  ]
}

Field notes:

• id — string ID prefixed with h (e.g. h1647303). Use this with the detail command.
• company — company name; may be null for some aggregated listings.
• companyUrl — company homepage URL; may be null if not present.
• location — city or area; may be null if not listed.
• date — ISO date string (YYYY-MM-DD) from the datetime attribute on the <time> element; may be null.
• description — short excerpt from the listing; may be null or empty.
• url — full Jobindex.dk URL for the listing.
• total in meta — parsed from hitcount_html (Danish thousands separator . is stripped before parsing, e.g. 18.903 → 18903).

Note on area filtering: The Jobindex API does not reliably support area/region filtering via query parameters. area and geoareaid params are silently ignored. To filter by location, use --query with a city name (e.g. --query "python aarhus") or apply --limit and filter the JSON output externally.

---

detail — Fetch full job listing detail

URL: https://www.jobindex.dk/jobannonce/{id}/{slug}

bun run src/cli.ts detail <id> [--format json|plain]

The id is the job ID from search results (e.g. h1647303). The slug is optional — the CLI fetches the canonical URL by first constructing https://www.jobindex.dk/jobannonce/{id} and following any redirect, or by using the full URL from the url field in search results.

You may also pass the full URL directly as the id argument.

Flags

Example

# Using ID from search results
bun run src/cli.ts detail h1647303

# Using full URL
bun run src/cli.ts detail "https://www.jobindex.dk/jobannonce/h1647303/data-engineer-til-opbygning-af-gavefabrikkens-dataplatform"

# Plain text output
bun run src/cli.ts detail h1647303 --format plain

Response shape

{
  "id": "h1647303",
  "title": "Data Engineer til opbygning af Gavefabrikkens dataplatform",
  "company": "Gavefabrikken",
  "companyUrl": "https://www.gavefabrikken.dk/",
  "location": "Valby, København",
  "date": "2026-03-12",
  "deadline": "2026-04-01",
  "employmentType": "Fastansættelse",
  "hours": "Fuldtid",
  "applyUrl": "https://www.gavefabrikken.dk/jobs/apply/123",
  "url": "https://www.jobindex.dk/jobannonce/h1647303/data-engineer-til-opbygning-af-gavefabrikkens-dataplatform",
  "description": "Full job description text here..."
}

Field notes:

• deadline — application deadline date string; null if not listed.
• employmentType — e.g. "Fastansættelse", "Midlertidig ansættelse"; null if not listed.
• hours — e.g. "Fuldtid", "Deltid"; null if not listed.
• applyUrl — the external application URL (resolved from the Jobindex redirect link /c?t=...); null if not available.
• description — full plain-text job description (HTML stripped).
• All fields may be null if not present in the HTML.

Error handling

All errors are written to stderr in JSON format and exit with code 1:

{ "error": "Job not found", "code": "NOT_FOUND" }
{ "error": "API request failed: 500 Internal Server Error", "code": "API_ERROR" }
{ "error": "Failed to parse job listing HTML", "code": "PARSE_ERROR" }
{ "error": "--query is required", "code": "MISSING_REQUIRED" }

---

URL construction

Job detail pages on jobindex.dk:

• https://www.jobindex.dk/jobannonce/{id}/{slug}

The slug is part of the url returned by search. When calling detail with just an ID, the CLI fetches https://www.jobindex.dk/jobannonce/{id} which redirects to the full URL.

---

Parsing notes

Total count from hitcount_html

The API returns pagination info as an HTML string like:

<div class="jix_pagination_total"><strong>1</strong> til <strong>20</strong> af <strong>18.903</strong> resultater.</div>

Parse total with: /af <strong>([\d.]+)<\/strong>/ and strip . before converting to integer.

Job card selectors

Each job card is wrapped in [data-beacon-tid]. Inside, select:

Two card types exist: div.PaidJob (sponsored) and div.jix_robotjob (aggregated). Both use the same selector pattern.

Jobindex URL Reference

Base URL

https://www.jobindex.dk/jobsoegning

Full URL Pattern

https://www.jobindex.dk/jobsoegning/{category-group}/{category-slug}/{area-slug}?q={query}&jobage={days}&page={num}

All path segments and query params are optional. Category MUST come before area in the path.

Path Segments

Areas (geography)

Area slug goes at the end of the path:

Note: If the exact slug is unknown, use the Geografi filter UI instead: 1. Click the "Geografi" button 2. Click "Tilføj område" 3. Type city/region name in the textbox 4. Select from autocomplete (treeitem) 5. Click "Vis X job" button 6. Note the URL path that results

Categories

Category uses a two-part path: {group}/{slug}:

Note: Category slugs are not fully mapped. To discover a category slug: 1. Click the "Kategorier" button 2. Type category name in the search field 3. Select from autocomplete (treeitem) 4. Click "Vis X job" button 5. Note the URL path that results
