The success response is the bare job object (no envelope). Note: this endpoint does not return a 404 for an unknown `jobId`. Per the current documentation, a non-existent job is reported as a 500 `INTERNAL_ERROR` with the message "Something went wrong." ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.yaml get /jobs/{jobId} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: TapTalent Partner API version: 1.0.0 summary: Partner API for jobs, candidates, pipelines, custom fields, and webhooks. description: > The TapTalent Partner API lets partner systems manage jobs, candidates, job-candidate relationships, hiring pipelines, and custom fields, and receive real-time event notifications via webhooks. All communication is JSON over HTTPS. ## Authentication Every request requires an API key sent as an HTTP bearer token: ``` Authorization: Bearer sk_live_AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUv ``` Keys are prefixed `sk_live_` (production) or `sk_test_` (sandbox) followed by 22 base62 characters, are scoped to a company, and are generated from the TapTalent dashboard (Account Settings → Developers → API Key Management). Key management is dashboard-only and not available via this API. ## Response envelopes The API uses three envelope styles, by resource family: | Family | Success envelope | |---|---| | Jobs | Bare object (e.g. `{ "jobs": [...], "totalJobs": 45 }` or the job object itself) | | Candidates, Job Candidates, Pipelines, Custom Fields | `{ "status": "success", "data": ... }` | | Bulk resume upload and batch retrieval | `{ "success": true, "data": ... }` | Each operation in this specification models its family's actual envelope; no unified envelope is imposed. ## Pagination Pagination conventions vary by endpoint and are modeled as documented: | Endpoint | Page parameter | First page | Default page size | Page size rule | |---|---|---|---|---| | `GET /jobs` | `pageNumber` | 1 | 10 | one of 10, 20, 40, 80, 100 | | `GET /candidates/list` | `pageNumber` | **0** | 10 | one of 10, 20, 40, 80, 100 | | `GET /candidates/batch/{batchId}` | `pageNumber` | 1 | 10 | one of 10, 20, 40, 80, 100 | | `GET /job-candidates/job/{jobId}/candidates` | `page` | 1 | 20 | one of 10, 20, 40, 80, 100 | | `GET /job-candidates/stage/{stageId}/candidates` | `page` | 1 | 20 | any value from 1 to 100 | ## Errors Most errors use the canonical envelope: ```json { "error": { "code": "ERROR_CODE", "type": "error_type", "message": "Human-readable error message", "details": { "field": "Specific validation error message" } } } ``` Authentication failures use flat shapes instead (`{"message": ...}`, `{"code": ..., "message": ...}` or `{"message": ..., "isApiKeyExists": false}`); see the shared 401 response. Rate limits are applied at the company level; numeric limits and the 429 response body are not yet published. ## Webhooks Event notifications are delivered as HTTP POST requests to a single company-level HTTPS endpoint configured in the dashboard. Deliveries carry the headers `X-Webhook-Event`, `X-Webhook-Timestamp`, and `X-Webhook-Key` (verify by plain equality against the key generated in the dashboard; HMAC signatures are not yet available). Endpoints must respond with a 2xx status within 5 seconds; failed deliveries are retried at 200 ms, 400 ms, and 800 ms before being marked failed. See the `webhooks` section of this document for every event payload. ## Conventions used in this specification - `x-inferred: true` marks schemas or responses whose shape is inferred from related endpoints because the source documentation does not include an example; verify against the sandbox before relying on exact field names. - `x-known-quirk` marks fields whose wire format deviates from the API's prevailing conventions (for example an epoch timestamp where other endpoints return ISO 8601 strings). - Where the published documentation shows placeholder string identifiers (for example `"pipelineId_1"` or `"companyId_1"`), this specification models the underlying integer identifier types used by the API and notes the resolution on the affected field. contact: name: TapTalent Support email: support@taptalent.ai url: https://docs.taptalent.io license: name: Proprietary url: https://taptalent.ai servers: - url: https://partner-api.taptalent.io/v1/partner description: Production (use `sk_live_` keys) - url: https://sandbox.partner-api.taptalent.io/v1/partner description: Sandbox / staging (use `sk_test_` keys) security: - bearerAuth: [] tags: - name: Jobs description: Create, read, update, and list jobs. - name: Candidates description: >- Create and retrieve candidates, upload resumes in bulk, and fetch candidates by batch or id list. - name: Job Candidates description: >- Manage the relationship between candidates and jobs, including stage placement and per-job resume ingestion. - name: Pipelines description: Manage hiring pipelines and their stages. - name: Custom Fields description: Define custom field templates for candidates and jobs. - name: Custom Field Values description: Read and write custom field values attached to candidates and jobs. - name: Webhooks description: >- Event notifications delivered to your configured webhook endpoint.
