Veterans Job Search

Veterans Job Search API

The Veterans Job Search API allows third party websites to submit a job search to the NRD, and receive an XML of the search results.  Please note, this API was not designed to add jobs to the job bank.  To add jobs to the Veterans Job Bank, please see the instructions for employers.

Please note that applications must be appropriate for the Veteran community and not attempt to monetize the search results.  Please contact the webmaster at info@nrd.gov and provide the url of your application and a summary of your application.  The job search API requires basic authentication.  Developers can access the feed by first creating a public user account at NRD.gov.  API calls should include the basic authentication of the developer in the request header.
