I want to sort the jobs by their recentness, and not pull every data and then sort myself. Since in the program i am creating i check for newly posted jobs. And it seems it is not possible without being able to sort them by most recent.

Hi,
One thing that you can maybe do is call the Search endpoint every day with date_posted=today&num_pages=20 to get all today’s results for the query, which should be relatively low number. Save the received job_id and check which are new every day (comparing already seen job ids vs newly received job ids). Can something like that work?
Thank you,

I don’t think it would work the way i want it to work. Do you know if there is any sequence for listings here, something like in each page jobs are listed based on their post date?
Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Although sorting by recency is not currently supported by Google for Jobs and the API, you can take a look at the date_posted parameter, it can be used to limit the results to jobs with a certain recency (today, last 3 days, week, etc) - can it work for what you need?
Thank you,
