Commands

Search for job ads

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

Key flags:

• --search-string <text> — keyword search, e.g. sygeplejerske, ingeniør, pædagog
• --region <region> — HovedstadenOgBornholm, Midtjylland, Syddanmark, OevrigeSjaelland, Nordjylland
• --postal-code <code> — postal code for radius-based search, e.g. 2100
• --radius <km> — radius in km from postal code (default: 50)
• --work-hours <type> — FullTime or PartTime
• --duration <type> — Permanent or Temporary
• --job-type <type> — Ordinaert, Efterloenner, Foertidspension
• --occupation-area <id> — occupation area identifier, e.g. 10000
• --occupation-group <id> — occupation group identifier, e.g. 10060
• --order <type> — PublicationDate (default), BestMatch, ApplicationDate
• --page / --per-page / --limit
• --format json|table|plain

Full job ad detail

bun run .agents/skills/jobnet-search/cli/src/cli.ts detail <jobAdId> [--format json|plain]

jobAdId is the UUID from search results (the jobAdId field, also emitted as id, the portal-contract name every search CLI shares). Returns the complete job

description, contact persons, application deadline, employer details, and direct application URL.

Search occupation types

bun run .agents/skills/jobnet-search/cli/src/cli.ts occupations --search-string <text> [--per-page <n>]

Use this to discover ESCO occupation identifiers before passing them to search with

--occupation-area or --occupation-group.

Typeahead suggestions

bun run .agents/skills/jobnet-search/cli/src/cli.ts suggestions --query <text> [--limit <n>]

Returns Danish job title autocomplete strings. Useful for exploring valid Danish

job titles before constructing a search query.

How to use effectively

Discover occupations first. Use occupations or suggestions to find the right Danish

term or ESCO identifier before running a search:

bun run .agents/skills/jobnet-search/cli/src/cli.ts suggestions --query "syge"
bun run .agents/skills/jobnet-search/cli/src/cli.ts occupations --search-string "sygeplejerske"

Natural workflow: search → detail.

1. Use search to get a list of matching jobs with their jobAdId.
2. Call detail <jobAdId> to get the full job description, contact persons, and direct application link.

Use --format table for comparisons, --format json for data processing, and

--format plain for single-record detail views (strips HTML from job body).

Pagination: --per-page controls server-side results per page. --limit caps what the

CLI outputs. Use --page + --per-page to iterate through large result sets.

Geographic search modes:

• Use --region for broad regional filtering (e.g. all of Midtjylland)
• Use --postal-code + --radius for jobs near a specific location
• Do not combine --region and --postal-code in the same query

Order matters for intent:

• PublicationDate — newest postings first (default, good for "what's new")
• BestMatch — relevance score (best when --search-string is provided)
• ApplicationDate — earliest deadline first (good for urgent applications)

Notes

• All data is from the public jobnet.dk/bff REST API — no credentials required.
• The API requires the x-csrf: 1 header; the CLI adds this automatically.
• Pagination is 1-indexed (--page 1 is the first page).
• search results omit the HTML job description — use detail to get it.
• detail --format plain strips HTML tags for readable text output.
• Job ad detail pages on jobnet.dk: https://jobnet.dk/find-job/{jobAdId}
• suggestions is tuned for Danish job titles — English terms may return empty results.
