JOBnaru™ API Terms

Effective 2026-10-11.

These terms apply to the JOBnaru™ JSON API (/api/v1), the MCP server (/mcp), API keys and any data files offered with them (together, the "API"), and to all data, classifications, facts and other content obtained through the API or by copying it from jobnaru.com (the "Data"). JOBnaru™ is operated by an individual (sole proprietor) under the brand JOBnaru™ ("we", "us"). By calling the API, creating an API key or using the Data you ("you") agree to these terms and to our Terms of Service. If these terms conflict with the Terms of Service, these terms control for the API and the Data. Terms of Service →

1. Free non-commercial use, with attribution

You may use the API free of charge for personal, research, educational, news and other non-commercial purposes:

• Without a key, within the anonymous limits in section 6 — for example to look up a school, or for an AI assistant answering a user's question.
• With a Developer key, which you get by choosing the Developer role in your JOBnaru™ account and accepting these terms. A key is personal to you and your project; you must not share, sell or publish it. Get a free Developer key →

Attribution is a condition of every use: wherever you show, quote or summarize the Data, show your users the name "JOBnaru™" with a visible link to the page URL given in each result (url or cite), for example "Source: JOBnaru™ (https://jobnaru.com/schools/…)". Do not remove or hide attribution, and do not suggest that we endorse you.

2. Sources, status and no warranty

The Data come from public sources — including the Private School Universe Survey of the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics, the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certified school list published by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Wikidata and Wikipedia — from schools' own published information, and from our own compilation, matching, classification, verification and review. Each tag and fact names its source and the date it was last checked. A school with status "candidate" has not been verified by the school. THE API AND THE DATA ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. Always confirm admission, visa and cost details with the school and official sources.

3. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM THE API OR THE DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE API IS LIMITED TO US$50.

4. Commercial use — only with a separate written license

You must not use the Data or the API commercially unless we have first signed a separate written commercial license with you. A free key, the Developer role or the absence of a technical block is not permission.

What counts as commercial use

Any use of the Data or the API, directly or indirectly, that earns money, supports a business or is offered by a business, including:

• a paid or advertising-supported product, service, app, website, newsletter, report, course or software;
• a website, app, directory, ranking, comparison or search service about schools — paid or free — run by or for a business;
• work for clients or customers, for example as a study-abroad agent, consultant, admissions counselor, guardian service, program organization, recruiter or marketing agency;
• a lead-generation, CRM, marketing or sales tool, or enriching your own customer or prospect data;
• a dataset, database, data feed or API that includes the Data, whether sold, licensed or given away;
• an AI product or model offered commercially, including fine-tuning or retrieval systems built on the Data;
• reselling, sublicensing, redistributing or publishing the Data in bulk.

What is not commercial use

• an individual student's or family's own school search;
• academic research or teaching at a school or university, with attribution, that does not republish the Data in bulk;
• a news article, or an AI assistant's or search engine's answer to a user's question, that quotes or summarizes the Data with a link to our page;
• a free, non-commercial tool for families that does not copy the Data in bulk and shows attribution.

If you are unsure, treat your use as commercial and ask us first.

How to get a commercial license

1. Sign in and send us a message with the topic "Commercial data license": who you are, your company, what you want to build and which Data you need. Send a message →
2. We review your use. We may decline any request, and we do not license use that competes with JOBnaru™.
3. If we agree, we sign a written license that sets the permitted use, fees, attribution and limits.
4. We then issue a commercial key. Bulk data files are available only under a commercial license.

5. Never allowed, with or without a license

• Building or feeding a school directory, comparison, ranking or study-abroad information service that competes with JOBnaru™.
• Bulk copying, scraping or crawling of the API or jobnaru.com to reproduce the Data, or circumventing limits — for example by using many keys, accounts or IP addresses.
• Reselling, sublicensing or redistributing the Data, or removing attribution.
• Combining the Data with other information to identify individual students, staff or families.

6. Access levels and rate limits

Hourly windows reset at the top of each hour and daily windows at 00:00 UTC. Requests over a limit receive HTTP 429. List results without a key are capped per request and per query. We may change limits and will post changes on the developer page.

7. Enforcement, suspension and termination

We may change, limit or discontinue any part of the API. If you breach these terms we may revoke your keys and accounts and block your access at any time, without notice. Unlicensed commercial use or a breach of section 5 entitles us to seek damages, including the license fees you would have paid and any profits you made from the Data, and an injunction, and you will reimburse our reasonable costs of enforcement, including attorneys' fees. You will defend and indemnify us against claims arising from your use of the Data in breach of these terms. Sections 2 to 5 and 7 to 9 survive termination.

8. Governing law

These API terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Texas. If any part is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
