jobs.close

Close a job posting so it stops accepting applications (bodyless).

Prerequisites

  • A Curviate API key, passed as apiKey when you construct the client. Quickstart shows how to create one.
  • A connected LinkedIn account. This resource is account-scoped: the account_id is injected automatically by the account-scoped accessor, so you pass it once to curviate.account(...) and every call below inherits it. Quickstart covers connecting one, and accounts.list returns the account_id of each account already connected.

Signature

close(jobId: string): Promise<CloseJobResult>

Example

import { Curviate } from "@curviate/sdk";
 
const curviate = new Curviate({
  apiKey: "cvt_live_...",
  baseUrl: "https://api.curviate.com",
});
 
const result = await curviate.account("acc_YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID").jobs.close("job_YOUR_JOB_ID");
console.log(result);

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
jobIdstringYesThe job posting's numeric id, e.g. 4100000000 (from the LinkedIn job URL or a search/jobs result). A full URL is not accepted here.

Returns

Resolves to CloseJobResult. Top-level fields: object, safety_warning.

Error codes

CodeWhat it means, and what to do
UNAUTHORIZEDThe API key is missing, malformed, or revoked. Check the key you passed to the client.
INVALID_REQUESTA parameter failed validation. The message names the offending field; fix the request rather than retrying it.
RATE_LIMIT_ACCOUNTThis account's own quota is exhausted. Wait for the window in the Retry-After header, then retry.
RATE_LIMIT_TENANTThe tenant-wide quota is exhausted across all accounts. Slow the whole workload, not just this call.
PLATFORM_RATE_LIMITLinkedIn is throttling this account. Back off well beyond the hinted delay; sustained pressure risks the account.
PLATFORM_ERRORAn upstream failure, usually transient: retry once with backoff before treating it as a real error. Check the response first, though. When it carries retry_likely_to_succeed: false and retry_hint: {kind: "never"}, retrying cannot help and backing off only delays the real answer.
ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUNDNo connected account with that id belongs to this tenant. List your accounts to get a current id.
INTERNALAn unexpected server error. Retry once; if it persists, it is ours, not yours.
LINKEDIN_FEATURE_NOT_SUBSCRIBEDThe connected LinkedIn account does not have the subscription this operation needs. Activate it on LinkedIn; reconnecting will not help.
PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGEThree limits can trigger this. The platform's own ceiling on total request size is the lowest and the one you are most likely to hit: it starts rejecting at roughly 1 MB, so a handful of photo-sized images is refused even though it clears everything below. Above that, this API caps one attachment at 5 MiB of file content and the whole request body at 9 MiB. Attachments travel base64-encoded, which inflates them by about a third, so a 5 MiB file costs roughly 6.7 MiB of the body budget. Send fewer or smaller attachments; retrying unchanged will not help.
RESOURCE_NOT_FOUNDThe id in the path does not exist, or is not visible to this account. Re-read it from the list endpoint that produced it.

Every code above is a stable CurviateError.code you can branch on. The full list, the response envelope, and retry semantics are in the Error codes reference.
