About

The Resume Parser API parses a resume (CV) file from multiple formats (PDF/DOC/DOCX/TXT/RTF) and returns an extensive object of data points. This endpoint is essential for extracting detailed information from resumes, supporting various HR and recruitment applications.
This API is ideal for developers building HR platforms, recruitment software, or applicant tracking systems. It automates the extraction of relevant data from resumes, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in candidate processing. Use cases include resume data extraction for applicant tracking systems, automated candidate profiling, and enhancing recruitment workflows.
Apy Jobs are long running calls which are split into two actions:
1. Submitting the job
2. Checking the status of the job and receiving the response on successful completion of the job.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
