Welcome to the TapTalent Partner API documentation. This documentation is designed to help engineering teams integrate with the TapTalent platform in a secure, scalable, and production-ready manner. The Partner API provides programmatic access to core hiring entities and workflows, enabling you to build custom integrations, synchronize systems, and automate recruitment processes across your technology stack.

​
What the Partner API Enables

The TapTalent Partner API exposes a set of RESTful endpoints and event-driven mechanisms that allow external systems to interact directly with the TapTalent hiring platform. Using the API, you can:
  • Programmatically create, update, and retrieve candidates
  • Sync jobs and manage role-level hiring data
  • Track submissions and candidate status changes
  • Subscribe to webhooks for real-time event notifications
  • Build automated or hybrid workflows that combine system-driven logic with human decision-making
The API is designed to support enterprise-scale integrations, including high-volume data ingestion, bi-directional synchronization, and distributed system architectures.

​
Who This Documentation Is For

This documentation is intended for:
  • Backend and platform engineers
  • Integration and solutions architects
  • Technical product owners
  • Teams building ATS, CRM, HRIS, or recruitment automation tools
A working knowledge of REST APIs, JSON, and HTTP authentication is assumed.

​
How the Platform Fits Into Your Architecture

TapTalent can act as:
  • A source of candidate and hiring workflow data
  • A downstream system receiving candidates, jobs, or updates
  • An event publisher notifying your systems of hiring activity
  • A coordination layer for AI-driven and human-led recruitment processes
The Partner API is flexible by design, allowing you to adopt one-way, bi-directional, or event-driven integration patterns depending on your operational needs.

​
How This Documentation Is Structured

This documentation is organized to help you move from first request to production integration:
  • Getting Started – Understand the integration flow and make your first API call
  • Authentication – Learn how to securely authenticate requests using API keys
  • API Reference – Explore endpoints for candidates, jobs, and submissions
  • Webhooks – Receive real-time updates for important platform events
  • Integration Notes – Review best practices, scaling considerations, and common pitfalls

​
Getting Started

If you are integrating for the first time, begin with the
👉 Quick Start Guide
to generate an API key and make your first successful request.

​
Need Guidance or Best Practices?

For architectural guidance, real-world integration patterns, and operational considerations, refer to
👉 Integration Notes. These notes are especially useful for teams building enterprise-grade or high-volume integrations.
This introduction sets the foundation for the sections that follow and is the recommended starting point for all Partner API integrations.
