# Attribution and data policy

Show "Data by Trawle" with a link, link to the employer's posting, and don't republish full descriptions.

Trawle's data is free to use in your apps and agents, on a few conditions.

## Attribution

Wherever you show Trawle results to people, show **"Data by Trawle"** with a link to `https://trawle.com` or to the job's `url`. A small line under a list is enough:

```html
<p>Data by <a href="https://trawle.com">Trawle</a></p>
```

Agents that answer in text should say where the jobs came from and include the links.

## Link to the employer

Every job has an `applyUrl`, the employer's own posting. Link to it so people read the full description and apply with the employer directly. Don't put your own application flow in between, and don't auto-apply on people's behalf.

## Descriptions

The API returns a summary of each job, never the full description. Employers own their descriptions; read them at `applyUrl`. Don't scrape and republish them.

## Use

- Cache results for up to a day; the data only changes once a day anyway.
- Employers who want their jobs removed can email [hello@trawle.com](mailto:hello@trawle.com).

## Limits and keys

No key is needed today. API keys and OAuth for apps acting on someone's behalf are coming soon. The free tier is planned at about **1,000 requests a day**, with attribution. Heavier use will need a key; we'll announce plans before limits apply.
