Commands

Search job listings

bun run skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts search [flags]

Key flags:

--text <keyword> — free-text search, e.g. elektriker, sygeplejerske, softwareudvikler
--category <id> — category ID (see Categories table below)
--jobtitle-id <id> — job title ID from autocomplete results
--municipality <name> — e.g. Odense, København, Aarhus
--zip <code> — zip code, e.g. 5000, 8000, 2100
--region <name> — region name, e.g. Midtjylland, Sjælland
--job-type <types> — comma-separated: fuldtid, deltid, fleksjob, elev, studiejob, praktik
--page <n> — page number (30 items per page, server-enforced)
--limit <n> — cap total results returned by CLI
--format json|table|plain

Per-page is fixed at 30 by the API. Use --page to paginate.

Full job detail

bun run skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts detail <slug> [--format json|plain]

slug is the URL path segment returned as slug in search results (e.g. it-chef-soeges-til-rah). Returns full structured job data from the job page's JSON-LD, including title, organization, location, employment type, deadline, and full HTML description.

List categories with live counts

bun run skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts categories [--format json|table|plain]

Returns all 10 job categories with current live job counts. Useful for giving the user an overview of the job market.

Autocomplete job titles and categories

bun run skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts autocomplete --query "<text>" [--limit <n>]

Use this to resolve search terms into precise job title IDs (--jobtitle-id) or category IDs (--category) for search. The value field in results is the ID to pass to search.

Suggest locations

bun run skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts locations --query "<text>" [--limit <n>]

Returns matching municipalities, zip codes, and regions. Use value from results as --municipality or --zip in search.

How to use effectively

Resolve locations first. Use locations to find the correct municipality name or zip code before passing them to search:

bun run skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts locations --query "Aarhus" --format plain

Resolve job titles for precision. Use autocomplete to get the exact job title ID when the user wants a specific role:

bun run skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts autocomplete --query "sygeplejerske" --format plain

Natural workflow: search → detail.

Use search to get a list of matching jobs with their slug.
Call detail <slug> to get the full job posting with description, deadline, and organization details.

Use --format table for comparisons, --format json for data processing, and --format plain for single-record detail views.

Pagination: The API returns 30 items per page (server-enforced). Use --page to navigate through results. Use --limit to cap CLI output regardless of page size.

Combine filters for precise results — e.g. --text + --job-type + --municipality all work together in a single search request.

Output formats

Format	Best for
`json`	Default — programmatic use, data processing, passing IDs between commands
`table`	Quick human-readable overviews and comparisons
`plain`	Single-record detail views (`detail`)

All errors are written to stderr as { "error": "...", "code": "..." } and the process exits with code 1.

Notes

All data is from the public Jobdanmark.dk API — no credentials required.
Pagination is 1-indexed (--page 1 is the first page). 30 items per page, server-enforced.
The detail command fetches the HTML job page and parses the embedded JSON-LD (schema.org/JobPosting). It does not use a separate JSON API.
slug in search results is extracted from the API's relative url field (the path after /job/).
applicationDeadline in search results can be null (no deadline set).
Job type values for filters: fuldtid, deltid, fleksjob, elev, studiejob, praktik.
