Over-limit responses return HTTP 429. Recover with exponential backoff. If you need higher limits for a legitimate integration, email our team.
/api/v1/ is the stable contract — fields will only be added, not removed or renamed, within this version. Breaking changes ship under /api/v2/ with a 6-month overlap.
The api_version field on list responses lets you detect the active version client-side.
YouthHire complies with Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and PIPEDA. See our compliance pledges for details on how we vet employers and handle data. Partner integrations should respect the same standards when republishing jobs.
