Steps
Call GET https://boards-api.greenhouse.io/v1/boards/{board_token}/departments (or /offices, with render_as=tree) — these require no authentication.
Cross-reference department/office IDs against GET /v1/boards/{board_token}/jobs to group postings by team or location.
For cross-origin embedding without a server-side proxy, append ?callback=yourFunctionName to any GET endpoint to receive a JSONP response instead of raw JSON.
For the actual application form, prefer Greenhouse's hosted Embedded Job Application rather than posting directly to POST /v1/boards/{board_token}/jobs/{id} from the browser.
If you do call the application-submission endpoint yourself, proxy it server-side — it requires a Base64-encoded Basic Auth API key that must not be exposed client-side.
Known gotchas
There is no official embeddable JS widget for the board itself — only raw JSON/JSONP endpoints; the "embed" is DIY.
Greenhouse does not server-side validate required custom fields on submission — your client/proxy must validate before posting.
JSONP only applies to GET endpoints; it doesn't help with the authenticated POST submission call.
