Job Update API release notes

 

October 31, 2026

Breaking change
(1)

Removed input field communicationInterfaceName from input object type JobPostStatusCommunicationSettingsInput. See the October 20 log.

Documentation
(4)

Removed communicationInterfaceName from the request examples and from the statusCommunication description in JobPostSurfaceStatus, because every agency account now has a default. If a job returns isRejected: true with no messages, retry with communicationLocale: "en". If that doesn't work, contact your Indeed representative.
Added a beta notice to the Delayed publishing guide and the rejected jobs section.
Updated the rejected jobs steps to find all jobs where isRejected is true, including sponsored jobs.
Clarified in Update job posting that an update must include only the fields that you change. A location update replaces the entire location. A salary update clears any minimum or maximum that it leaves out.

Published a Delayed publishing guide in English and Japanese for agencies that review a client's job before job seekers see it. It covers enabling the hold in Partner Console, reviewing the held job, publishing it with publishSourcedJobPostings, and the fact that each new update from the client's ATS holds the job again.
Updated the rejected jobs examples with the status input that rejection messages require, since messagingTagMatches returns empty without it.

Documentation
(1)

Clarified on JobPostStatus that a HIDDEN global status overrides a higher per-surface status such as ORGANIC.

September 30, 2026

New
(1)

Added a rejected jobs section to the Job Update API guide. Request statusCommunication on surfaceStatuses in a findEmployerJobsPartner call to see why a job was rejected, then fix the issue and resubmit.

Documentation
(2)

Clarified in the seat management guide that each seat must be a real work location, not a way to advertise in markets where the job is not based.
Fixed the clearSeats description in the same guide: it expires agency-created seats, but only removes updates from ATS-created seats.

New
(1)

Documented the jobRequisitionId filter for findEmployerJobsPartner in the Job Update API guide and agency scenarios. Pass the value exactly as externalPostingMetadata.jobRequisitionId returns it. Matching is case-insensitive and does not trim whitespace. Requisition IDs are not unique, so the filter can return more than one job.

Documentation
(1)

Corrected the documented default for jobFeedType. When the filter is omitted, the query returns only INTEGRATED_FROM_PARTNER. Set jobFeedType to retrieve crawled or hosted jobs.
