What is an API?

An API, or Application Programming Interface, is like a messenger that allows different software programs to talk to each other and share information, making it easier for them to work together and accomplish tasks. A public API is designed to be accessible and used by external developers and third-party applications. It’s made available to the public (hence the name) and typically follows certain standards and protocols to ensure compatibility and ease of integration.

A public API can help you easily connect and share candidate information and other data with other systems or platforms you use – for example, CRM, HR and analytics tools. This saves you time and effort, eliminates the need for manual data entry and ensures your hiring process is efficient and streamlined.
