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 .agents/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 .agents/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.

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.
