👻 Ghostbusters API

Detect ghost job postings before wasting your time.

How It Works

Paste a job URL:

https://company.gupy.io/job/123456

Ghostbusters will:

1. Identify the platform
2. Analyze the vacancy
3. Verify whether the job is active
4. Return a status

Example response:

{
  "status": "real",
  "found": true,
  "platform": "gupy"
}
