For Agents

Read jobs, applicants, applications, and offers across Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, and other ATS platforms through one unified schema.

Quickstart

Get started with ATS API in minutes using your preferred integration method.

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"create an applicant in the connected ats"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Capabilities

Read and write applicant records including name, contact, source, and resume URL

Post applications linking an applicant to a job with stage and source metadata

Read offers attached to an application with salary and start date

View OpenAPI Spec

Apideck ATS is a unified API that maps a single schema for jobs, applicants, applications, offers, and activities onto downstream applicant tracking systems such as Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, SmartRecruiters, and BambooHR. The 12 operations cover the recruiting hand-off most apps need: read open roles, read candidate records, post applications, and write offers. Apideck routes each call through Apideck Vault, so per-customer ATS credentials stay in Apideck's vault rather than being passed to the calling app.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use ATS API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Sourcing-Tool to ATS Hand-Off

Push candidates from a sourcing or LinkedIn outreach tool into whichever ATS the customer uses. Apideck's /ats/applicants and /ats/applications endpoints accept the unified candidate payload and create the applicant on the connected ATS - Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, or SmartRecruiters. Sourcing vendors typically replace 4+ direct ATS integrations with a single Apideck contract this way.

POST a new applicant to /ats/applicants with name and email, then POST to /ats/applications linking that applicant to the open job_id

Job Distribution

Read open requisitions from a customer's ATS and republish them to a careers site, job board, or referral platform. /ats/jobs returns the unified job payload with department, location, and status, so a job-board syndication tool builds one integration that works against every supported ATS.

GET /ats/jobs?status=open and republish each open requisition to a careers microsite via the site's CMS

Recruiting Analytics

Pull applications, applicants, and offers from many customers' ATS instances into a single recruiting analytics warehouse. Apideck normalises the stage and status fields, so a funnel report (applied, screened, interviewed, offered, hired) works identically whether the underlying ATS is Greenhouse or Lever. Useful for talent-intelligence vendors and HR analytics tools.

GET /ats/applications with cursor pagination and store stage transitions so a downstream funnel report can render time-to-hire by source

AI Agent Recruiter Assistant

Give an AI agent a tool to find candidates, post applications, and check offer status across whichever ATS a customer uses. Through Jentic, the agent searches for an intent like 'create an applicant in customer ats' and gets the matching Apideck operation with its input schema. The agent does not need a per-ATS adapter.

Search Jentic for 'create ats applicant', load the /ats/applicants schema, and execute with the candidate's name and email captured from the conversation

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

All three Apideck headers are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and injected at execution time. Per-consumer Apideck Vault tokens never enter the agent's prompt or logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (for example 'create applicant' or 'list ats jobs') and Jentic returns the matching Apideck operation with its input schema. No need to read the 12-operation reference.

Time to first call

Direct Apideck ATS integration: 1-2 days for the three required headers and Apideck Vault onboarding. Through Jentic: under 1 hour - search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using ATS API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Apideck ATS API use?

Apideck requires Authorization with a bearer API key, x-apideck-app-id with your Unify application id, and x-apideck-consumer-id with the end-customer reference stored in Apideck Vault. Through Jentic all three values are stored encrypted in the vault and injected at execution time.

Which ATS platforms does the Apideck ATS API cover?

Apideck Unify routes ATS calls to connectors including Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, SmartRecruiters, BambooHR, and JazzHR. Use the x-apideck-service-id header to pin the call to a specific connector when a consumer has more than one connected.

Can I create an applicant with the Apideck ATS API?

Yes. POST to /ats/applicants with the unified applicant payload (first_name, last_name, emails, phone_numbers). Apideck translates the call into the native applicant on the connected ATS and returns the created record with the connector's id.

What are the rate limits for the Apideck ATS API?

Apideck enforces limits at both the Unify layer and the underlying connector. Greenhouse, Lever, and Workable each have their own per-token quotas, so an /ats/applicants call ultimately respects the downstream connector's limits. Expect ConnectorRateLimitError on connector throttling and HTTP 429 on Unify throttling - retry with backoff.

How do I post a new application through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'post ats application', load the /ats/applications schema, and execute with applicant_id and job_id. The response returns the created application id from the connected ATS.

Is the Apideck ATS API free?

Apideck Unify offers a free tier with capped requests; production use is billed per consumer connection. See https://www.apideck.com/pricing for current tiers.
