Most teams that buy job data track a few hundred companies or a few roles: the accounts hiring for a team they sell to, or the competitors opening an office. On SpecStream you write that as the request, for example "companies in Germany with an open data engineer role posted in the last 30 days, with the job title, the posting URL, the city, the date posted and the company's website". SpecStream reads it back as conditions you can edit, finds every match on the live web and returns one row per open role. A role that fails a condition is left out and not billed. ### New and changed roles, as often as every hour Bright Data refreshes the dataset monthly at most, and its Smart data updates send only New Records or Updated Records on a schedule you set. A saved SpecStream request reruns hourly to yearly. Each row comes back labeled changed, unchanged or no longer matching, so a filled role shows as no longer matching rather than staying in your file. A changed or new row costs half its rate (3¢, 8¢ or 50¢), and an unchanged row costs 1¢. Read how [schedules](https://specstream.ai/docs/schedules?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=linkedin-jobs-dataset) work. ### The company joined to the role A job record holds what the posting says. A SpecStream row can also carry facts from the company's own pages, such as its size, its website or the product it sells, joined into the same record. Each value has the URL of the page it was read on and the time it was read. ### In the tool your team uses Bright Data delivers files to Snowflake, Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Azure or SFTP. SpecStream sends new matches to Slack, Teams, email, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Attio or a signed webhook, and to your agent through the MCP server at `https://api.specstream.ai/mcp`. ### A price before the run SpecStream quotes the most a run can cost before it starts, and nothing runs until you approve it. Duplicates and rows you already own are not charged, a run that finds nothing costs nothing, and whatever a run does not use goes back to your balance. ## Other LinkedIn job data sources ### SpecStream The live web data engine. Deep Search returns the open roles you describe as rows at 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a row, reruns them hourly to yearly with every change labeled, and delivers them to your sheet, CRM, Slack or agent. Source URL and read time on every value. ### Bright Data LinkedIn Jobs Scraper API Bright Data's scraper for LinkedIn job pages, billed for successful records only. Every new account gets 5,000 free credits a month, which Bright Data values at about $7.50. SpecStream bills a row only when it meets every condition in your request. ### Apify LinkedIn Jobs Scraper A community Actor in the Apify Store that scrapes LinkedIn job search results from search URLs or filters, from $1.00 per 1,000 results. Fresh roles come from scheduling it yourself, for example daily. A saved SpecStream request reruns on its own and labels every row changed, unchanged or no longer matching. ### Coresignal Jobs API A jobs database API with historical data reaching back to August 2020, on credit plans from $49 a month and a 7-day trial with 2,000 free credits. It returns the fields its database keeps. SpecStream returns any field you name, read from the live web. ## How to start Write the roles you track in plain words, in place of the dataset you would order or the search URLs you scrape. Sign up and you get $10 of credit, no card. At 5¢ a row, that is up to 200 roles. Or send the request from code. This call spends nothing: the `402` reply shows how SpecStream read the request, the columns and the most it can cost. ``` curl -i https://api.specstream.ai/v1/agent/lists \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"request": "Companies in Germany with an open data engineer role posted in the last 30 days, with the job title, the posting URL, the city, the date posted and the company website", "count": 25}' ``` Approve that maximum by card through Stripe's Link agent wallet, or in USDC on Base, Arbitrum or Polygon, and you pay for the rows found. On an account, your agent uses the MCP server at `https://api.specstream.ai/mcp` and your team uses the workspace, from the same balance. Save the request to rerun it on a [schedule](https://specstream.ai/docs/schedules?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=linkedin-jobs-dataset). ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does a LinkedIn jobs dataset cost?
