API documentation
As an alternative to using our dashboard, recruiters can integrate directly with our REST API.
Overview
Our REST API can easily be integrated by any developer. Please note that this option is only available for recruiters in need of optimizing a large number of resumes and have technical knowledge of how to incorporate a REST API.
Transactions take less than 15 seconds on average but more complex resumes may take longer. If you need to optimize a batch of resumes, our recommendation is to process these one at a time and not concurrently.
Authentication
To authenticate with our REST API, the following request headers are required:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ApiKey | string | The API Key associated with your account |
| Content-Type | string | This value should be set to application/json |
