Commands
Search job listings
bashbun run .agents/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 fromautocompleteresults--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
--pageto paginate.
Full job detail
bashbun run .agents/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. The CLI prefers Schema.org JSON-LD when present and falls back to parsing the rendered HTML when Jobdanmark omits JSON-LD.
List categories with live counts
bashbun run .agents/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
bashbun run .agents/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
bashbun run .agents/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:
bashbun run .agents/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:
bashbun run .agents/skills/jobdanmark-search/cli/src/cli.ts autocomplete --query "sygeplejerske" --format plain
Natural workflow: search → detail.
- Use
searchto get a list of matching jobs with theirslug. - 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.

Notes
- All data is from the public Jobdanmark.dk API — no credentials required.
- Pagination is 1-indexed (
--page 1is the first page). 30 items per page, server-enforced. - The
detailcommand fetches the HTML job page and parses embedded JSON-LD when available, with a rendered-HTML fallback for pages that omit structured data. It does not use a separate JSON API. slugin search results is extracted from the API's relativeurlfield (the path after/job/); it is also emitted asid, the portal-contract name every search CLI shares.applicationDeadlinein search results can benull(no deadline set).- Job type values for filters:
fuldtid,deltid,fleksjob,elev,studiejob,praktik.
