  • 1.  Is it Possible to Build a Public Job Posting API?

    Posted Wed July 09, 2025 12:09 PM

    I run a regional job portal 247JobInCanada and we're planning to offer public APIs for companies to post jobs or pull listings in real time.

    Is API Connect a good fit for managing authentication, rate limits, and usage analytics for this type of public API? We want to keep it simple but scalable. Would appreciate any best practices or examples!

    Hi Luna,

    Yes, IBM API Connect can be a strong fit for managing your public APIs, especially if you're looking for a solution that covers authentication, rate limiting, and usage analytics in one platform. 

    • Low-code policy configuration: You can set up rate limits, API keys, and authentication with minimal code using pre-built policies.

    • Developer portal: Makes onboarding easy for companies - they can register, get credentials, and test your API without manual steps.

    • Built-in security & analytics: No need to integrate separate tools for traffic control or usage insights.
