Fetching jobs from oDesk

Question

I have created a Windows C# 4.0 application that is fetching jobs from oDesk according to different parameters sent to the REST API. But the problem is it is only returning public jobs. When I login to a browser and visit the same URL it is returning all the jobs in browser(and not in my application) that are available to oDesk user(not private jobs) and also public jobs. I am fetching data in JSON format(but for confirming the data i am using xml format in browser).

For example I am using the following URL to fetch jobs but it is only returning public jobs. https://www.odesk.com/api/profiles/v1/search/jobs.xml?page=0;100&q=store&t=Hourly&dp=1&st=Open&sort=date_posted;A

and if I login to oDesk site and visit the same URL in browser it shows public jobs and oDesk jobs.

so how can I get all the jobs? Can i get those jobs using oAuth or REST API key authentication using my api key and api secret? if possible then please give a little example of how to implement oAuth or a link.

Answer 1

Fetched all the jobs using oAuth.

Answer 2

Please, check these links I just created a job posting. However, I do not see it when I do a job search. What happened? and How do I decide what job visibility to set when I create my job post? - this will shed some light on what is Private/Public Job at oDesk.

Then start following oDesk Developer Wiki (developers.odesk.com) - check the sections developers.odesk.com/Authentication and developers.odesk.com/Examples

Note, that OAuth is certified protocol and official site provides a list of libraries ready for use (links are available in our doc)

When you sign your request and run it as authed user a response will contain all jobs.

p.s. developers.odesk.com is a link you should open in your browser, sorry I can not post more than 2 links
