# Cerulean Jobs

> Cerulean is the job board for the luxury industry — fashion and leather
> goods, watches and jewellery, beauty and fragrance, wines and spirits,
> hospitality and selective retail. It carries the openings the houses
> themselves are advertising, refreshed several times a day.

**If you are an AI agent, a crawler, or a script, query the Search API instead
of walking these HTML pages.** `GET /api/search` is the endpoint the site's own
search box calls: public, no key, no authentication, no rate limit. It is
answered from an in-memory index in a few milliseconds and returns structured
JSON, so you never have to parse a listing out of a page — and one API request
costs us far less than a crawl of tens of thousands of them.

Listings belong to the houses that are hiring and are made available for
personal and editorial use. Every listing links out to the employer's own
application system; Cerulean does not take applications on their behalf.

## Search API

- [Search API documentation](https://ceruleanjobs.com/about/developers/): Every parameter, the response schema, how results are ranked, and the complete set of filter values. Start here.
- [OpenAPI 3.1 definition](https://ceruleanjobs.com/openapi.yaml): The machine-readable contract for `GET /api/search`. Hand this to a client generator rather than transcribing the documentation by hand.
- [Example request](https://ceruleanjobs.com/api/search?query=atelier&location=paris&limit=48): The live JSON for `query=atelier&location=paris&limit=48`.
- MCP server: `https://ceruleanjobs.com/api/mcp`. The same index as a Model Context Protocol server (revision `2026-07-28`), with three tools — `search_jobs`, `get_job`, `find_similar_jobs`. **If you are an agent, connect to this rather than writing a client.** No key and no sign-up, like everything else here. The protocol is sessionless: a tool call is a single POST, with nothing to open and nothing to keep alive.

What a client needs to know before reading the reference:

- Every parameter is optional. With none at all the endpoint returns the 12 most recent listings.
- Search and filter with `query`, `slug`, `similar`, `lang`, `location`, `country`, `brand`, `employment-type`, `seniority-level`, `industry`, `department`. Page with `limit` (12 by default, 48 maximum) and `offset` (10,000 maximum).
- `similar={slug}` switches to similarity mode, ranking by meaning and geography against a given listing rather than by keyword. `slug={slug}` returns that one listing.
- Filter values are matched against a lowercased index — send `location=new+york`, not `location=New%20York`.
- Every URL in a response is absolute, so an agent can follow one without knowing the host, and `slug` is the stable identifier for a listing — it is what `slug=` and `similar=` take.
- The endpoint never returns 4xx. A filter matching nothing gives `total: 0`; an unparseable value falls back to its default or is clamped. Whatever was ignored, clamped or not recognised comes back in a `warnings` array, so a typo is distinguishable from a genuinely empty result and no client needs error handling for one.
- The index is rebuilt roughly every four hours and responses are cached at the edge for an hour, so results can trail the site by up to one cycle.
- The MCP tools take the same parameters in `snake_case` (`employment_type` rather than `employment-type`) and return the same envelope. The one difference: a filter value outside its vocabulary is refused, with the valid values named, rather than returning `total: 0` — a model can correct itself from that.
- Please send a `User-Agent` that names your project and gives us a way to reach you, and prefer one large page to many small ones — `limit=48` costs us no more than `limit=1`.
