# Developer API

> Submit job applications with an API call. Send a candidate profile, a resume, and a job posting URL; Tsenta completes the application and reports a status back.

Send a candidate, the profile to use for this run, and the URL of a job posting.
Tsenta completes the application on the target system and reports a status back.
There is nothing to install and no form mapping to maintain, across 29 applicant
tracking systems.

  Sign in with your Tsenta account to create a key and see your applications.

## Base URL

```
https://api.autojobs.me/v1
```

Every request needs an API key as a bearer token. Keys start with `sk_live_` and
are shown once at creation.

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.autojobs.me/v1/ats \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
```

<Warning>
  Call the API from your server, never from a browser or a mobile app. Anyone
  holding the key can spend your balance.
</Warning>

## Pricing

**\$0.09 per submitted application.** Applications that fail are not charged.

Credit is loaded by Tsenta rather than self-serve, so
[get in touch](mailto:founders@tsenta.com) to have an account topped up.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a candidate">
    Post a profile and a resume. You get back a candidate id and a profile id to
    reuse for every application.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply">
    Post a profile id and a posting URL. The application is queued and priced up
    front.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the status">
    Poll the application or receive a webhook. Every application ends as
    `submitted` or `failed`.
  </Step>
</Steps>
