2026

All release notes from 2026.

 

October 31, 2026

Job Update API

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.

Job Sync API

Documentation

• Updated Location information (Japan) to allow an address for "Fully Remote" jobs. The postal code and building name are now described as optional but recommended.

• October 19 log:

Job Sync XML

Documentation

(2)

• Clarified that the <company> element in the XML feed reference is the company or brand name that job seekers see on Indeed. Added guidance for subsidiaries and franchises, and fixed the example.
• Fixed the <remotetype> link in the XML feed reference. It now points to the whole "How to post a remote job on Indeed" article, because the sections it linked to no longer exist.

Publisher JavaScript Plugin

Documentation

(1)

• Corrected the attribute table in Publisher JavaScript Plugin to show that data-indeed-search-occupations is optional.

Send Candidates API

Documentation

(3)

• Corrected the attachment size limits in Best practices. Each file can be up to 6 MB, and all attachments together up to 15 MB. Added how to advance a polling cursor without skipping updates.
• Clarified in Data types and file handling which attachment types Indeed keeps and how to diagnose failed file uploads.
• Added Japanese translations of Best practices and Data types and file handling.

Employer Registration API

Documentation

(2)

• Corrected the response types for manageFeaturesForEmployer and findRegisteredEmployers in the Employer Registration API guide. Added instructions for paging through registrations.
• Added a Japanese translation of the Employer Registration API guide.

Disposition Sync API

Documentation

(2)

• Added a check to Validate your content in Requirements for Japan partners. Each test call must now return an empty failedDispositions and no errors.
• Clarified in Indeed standard disposition statuses that the DROPPED_* statuses describe delivery failures, not candidate statuses. Added a link to the status table for partners in Japan.

Indeed Apply

Documentation

(3)

• Restructured Apply with Indeed around two integration options: the Apply with Indeed JavaScript and the applyUrlForEmployers mutation.
• Clarified in Specify parameters that data-indeed-apply-encryptedFeedUrl takes the XML feed URL.
• Clarified in Apply with Indeed and Troubleshoot errors when to retry a failed apply URL request. Retry only on INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, with exponential backoff. On GRAPHQL_PARSE_FAILED or BAD_USER_INPUT, fix the request before you resend it.

Employer Data API

Documentation

(1)

• Updated the patchEmployer examples in the Employer Data API guide to request attributeUpdated instead of the deprecated responseCode field.

Integration basics

Documentation

(3)

• Rewrote GraphQL at Indeed as a starting page. It explains the endpoint and schema, the access you need, and where to go next.
• Restructured the Webhooks integration guide into numbered integration steps. Delivery monitoring is now a required step. Added how to handle duplicate and out-of-order events.
• Fixed the variables example in Best practices for GraphQL clients to be a valid QuestionAnswersInput. Rewrote the error code guidance for partners who call Indeed APIs.

Authentication

Documentation

(4)

• Fixed the Content-Type for token requests in the OAuth reference and the grant type guides. It's now application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
• Updated Token exchange grant type (OAuth) to send the token request with an Authorization: Basic header.
• Clarified in the OAuth reference which parameters each grant type uses. The 3-legged code exchange doesn't use scope, and token exchange needs openid only in some cases.
• Updated the Log in with Indeed example to request only the email scope.

Docs site

Documentation

(2)

• Improved search on docs.indeed.com so it returns the page you're most likely looking for first. For example, searching for "job sync api" or "indeed apply" now returns the Job Sync API or Indeed Apply landing page.
• Improved accessibility across the site for keyboard and screen reader users, including image descriptions on the ATS JavaScript Plugin page, headings and navigation labels on API guides, table headers in Indeed standard disposition statuses, and an image zoom dialog that keeps focus until you close it.

October 15, 2026

Job Update API

New

(2)

• 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.

Schema changes:

• October 5 log:

Job Sync API

Documentation

(1)

• Fixed the rate limits section in English and Japanese to show that expirations count toward the same per-request-size limits as job creation, and that a throttled call returns SUBREQUEST_HTTP_ERROR with HTTP status 429.

Publisher JavaScript Plugin

Documentation

(1)

• Added two limits on the data-indeed-search-where attribute to Enable job search. It takes exactly one work location and accepts no geography finer than a municipality.

Candidate Sync APIs

Documentation

(3)

• Added the sendApplications requirement to Initialize application and upload attachments in the Send Candidates API guide. The feature must be enabled on the employer registration first.
• Moved application deletion out of the Send Candidates sync workflow, where Delete application is now a separate operation rather than a routine step.
• Updated Asset types in the Retrieve Candidates API guide to show which identifier belongs to which asset type in a mixed fetchAssets response.

Disposition Sync API

Documentation

(1)

• Clarified in the Disposition Sync API integration guide that one OAuth client ID covers both the Review phase and the Production phase, with no separate app for testing.

Indeed Apply

Documentation

(3)

• Added a deprecation notice for version 0.0 of the screener question schema to the Questions schema section. Support ended December 8, 2025, and integrations still on 0.0 send job seekers to the employer's website.
• Added the 1 MB size limit for the questions file to the JSON for screener questions reference.
• Removed the "Optional" label from smartFitScore in the analytics object fields table, since Indeed includes the field whenever the employer has enrolled in Smart Screening.

SCIM API

Documentation

(2)

• Updated Update user by ID in the SCIM API guide with the full endpoint URL rather than a relative path.
• Clarified in the SCIM API guide that SCIM end users do not have a consumer Indeed.com account and cannot sign in to Indeed directly.

September 30, 2026

Job Update API

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.

Indeed Apply

Documentation

(1)

• Clarified in the Indeed Apply configuration reference that indeed-apply-resumefieldsrequired requests resume fields but does not guarantee them. A job seeker with no prior experience can skip a required page, and the application data omits those fields.

Get started

Documentation

(1)

• Updated the Japanese Indeed Documentation (Indeed ドキュメント), Get started (はじめに), Integration basics (連携の基本), Indeed PLUS, and API guides (APIガイド) landing pages with consistent terminology.

Integration basics

Documentation

(1)

• Updated the language codes, country codes, and locales table to 103 locales, adding Hungary, Austria, and Brazil. The table is now linked from Integration basics and the API reference.

Docs site

Documentation

(4)

• Reorganized the release notes to group each product's changes by change type, such as Breaking change, New, and Documentation, so changes that need action stand out. To learn what each type means, see Change types.
• Added a summary of each product's GraphQL schema changes to its release notes section, linked to that product's section of the GraphQL schema change logs. The change logs are also grouped by product and change type.
• Combined each year's release notes into one page, such as the 2026 release notes, with each release under its date, newest first. Links to each release's former page still work.
• Published a release notes page for every product, with all of its changes, newest first. Find them in Release notes by product.

Job Update API

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.

New

• Documented the Smart Screening update asset type in the Retrieve Candidates API guide, including the fields it returns and how to stage one in the sandbox. These updates apply to your integration, not to a single employer, and identify the application by Indeed Apply ID.

Documentation

(1)

• Added best practices for candidate assets, including handling both asset types in one response and applying screening updates in createdAt order so older data does not overwrite newer data.

Schema changes:

• August 30 log:

ATS JavaScript Plugin

Documentation

(1)

• Updated the Japanese ATS JavaScript Plugin with Japanese screenshots, including the self-identification screen, Sponsor button states, and button placement examples.

Documentation

(1)

Split postings can share the same url and jobRequisitionId, but each needs a unique jobPostingId so Indeed does not treat them as duplicates.

Job Sync API

New

(1)

• The Job Sync API is now available to direct employers.

Documentation

(2)

• Clarified that job descriptions default to plain text. Rich formatting requires HTML through descriptionFormatting. See job description formatting.
• Updated authentication guidance for getting job posting status by ID by clarifying token type by integration model, requiring an authorization-code endpoint, recommending offline_access for 3-legged OAuth, explaining user-linked FORBIDDEN cases, and documenting when tokens cannot be refreshed.

Schema changes:

Indeed Apply

New

Documentation

(2)

• Expanded date screener-question guidance with locale-specific date formats, supported tokens, and common misconfigurations to avoid.
• Clarified that sponsored: false in application data analytics means the job is organic or the click came from outside Indeed.

(2)

• Moved the XML feed reference to a new top-level Job Sync XML feed section, alongside the Job Sync API as a job indexing method. Existing Indeed Apply XML feed links redirect to the new location.

Candidate Sync APIs

Documentation

• Consolidated the Candidate Sync API guides under top-level routes and restructured the Employer Registration API integration guide into a four-step workflow.

Disposition Sync API

(1)

• Added a note to the Disposition Sync API for Japan partners that using a non-production indeedApplyId in test dispositions can cause an error, and localized the applicant status reference table in Japanese.
