# OH SHI - Startup Hiring Intelligence

OH SHI, the Operational Headquarters for Startup Hiring Intelligence, is a public source of startup hiring facts for humans and AI agents.

## Preferred entrypoint
- Intelligence capabilities: https://ohshi.work/api/v1/intelligence
- Jobs: https://ohshi.work/api/v1/intelligence?view=jobs
- Companies: https://ohshi.work/api/v1/intelligence?view=companies
- Market movements: https://ohshi.work/api/v1/intelligence?view=movements
- Sector totals: https://ohshi.work/api/v1/intelligence?view=sectors

Call the capabilities URL first. It lists every supported filter. Unknown filters,
invalid values, and malformed cursors return HTTP 400 rather than silently returning
unfiltered data. Pass page.next_cursor unchanged with the same view and filters.
Company pages default to 10 records; movement pages default to 25.
The after movement filter is exclusive; use the exact ISO-8601 boundary you want
excluded.
