  title: The Muse Public Companies Jobs API
  description: 'The Muse public API (v2) exposes live job openings and employer company profiles over REST. All endpoints return JSON. Authentication is optional: passing an `api_key` query parameter raises the hourly rate limit from 500 (unauthenticated) to 3,600 (registered). List endpoints are paginated with 20 results per page and require a `page` query parameter. The current base URL is https://www.themuse.com/api/public; the legacy host https://api-v2.themuse.com still resolves via redirect. Use of the API requires agreement to the terms at https://www.themuse.com/developers/api/v2/terms.'
