Legal concern and API status

Hi,
I would like to know if it is legal to display this data on a public website ?
Additionally, is there a way to check the status of the API and be alerted if it stops working properly?

Hi there,
Thank you very much for your message.
Yes web scraping and displaying the scraped data is legal as long as the data is publicly available and not confidental, if you are in the EU, you would have to make sure to not break GDPR in case of personal data.
In case of the Jobs API, the data is publicly available, not confidental and not personal, so you are free to use and display the results.
Currently there is no endpoint or other method to check for the availability of the API, but I might implement an endpoint to get the status.
But if you look at the Health Check and Service Level, the API never had any outage so far.
Feel free to write me, if you have any further questions.
Best regards
Patrick
