Arbetsförmedlingen API client (Swedish Public Employment Service).

Index

    • Platsannonser/Platsbanken

    • Taxonomy (SOAP)

API Clients

Create a client:

client = Arbetsformedlingen::API::Client.new(locale: 'en')

Fetch all ads containing specified keyword:

ads = client.ads(keywords: 'ruby')
ads.map(&:title)

Fetch one ad:

ad = client.ad(id: 7408089)
ad.title
ad.occupation
ad.application.last_application_at

Fetch countries in area:

countries = client.countries(area_id: 2)
countries.map do |country|
  "#{country.name} has #{country.total_vacancies} total vacancies."
end

Post job ad

⚠️ In order to post live job ads to Arbetsförmedlingen you need to contact them and go through a test procedure. You can find their own documentation and some additional notes here.

You can find Arbetsförmedlingens own documentation and some additional notes here. Note that the documentation provided by Arbetsförmedlingen can be pretty hard to follow.

Validation support All models used to create a job ad include validations. A lot of work was put into finding all the quirks in the API and adding each validation to its corresponding model. I can't recommend using it enough.

Complete example creating a packet

There's a lot of data you can/must send to the API when creating an ad. See files in lib/arbetsformedlingen/models for details.

See full example.

WSOccupation API Client

client = Arbetsformedlingen::API::WSOccupationClient.new
response = client.occupations
response.xml.css('Name').first.text
# => "Landskapsarkitekter och landskapsingenjörer"

Notes

Arbetsförmedlingen TaxonomyService

Some requests had to be made to Arbetsförmedlingens TaxonomyService in order to fetch the data for the occupation codes. You can find that (plus some more) here 👇 Postman.
