# Search Monster jobs

Automatically search Monster jobs on monster.com. Search Monster's US job listings by free-text keyword and optional free-text location (city/state, e.g. "Austin, TX"; omit for a nationwide/remote search). Returns total (jobs on this page, max 18), estimatedTotal (Monster's own broader estimate across the full index) and jobs (jobId, title, company, location, remote, salary, currency, datePosted, url, applyUrl). Monster always searches scoped to the US regardless of the location text typed — this mirrors monster.com's own site behavior (it is a US-market board); a non-US location (e.g. "Paris, France") is not rejected — Monster's own geocoding can silently match a same-named US place instead (e.g. resolving to Paris, Maine) and return results for that place. Paginates via page (1, 2, ...; 18 results/page); results may repeat sponsored/promoted listings across pages, matching the site's own behavior. A keyword with no matches returns total:0, jobs:[] — not an error.
