Lever API Overview

Introduction

The root URL for the Lever API web service is https://api.lever.co/v1.

All data is sent and received as JSON over HTTPS, using the Unicode UTF-8 text encoding. Unencrypted HTTP is not supported and all requests must be authenticated.

Rest assured, we won’t rename or remove fields without a version bump, but we may decide to add additional fields to the API in the future.

Authentication

Basic Auth

API Keys are used by customers to build internal workflows. Integrations are built using OAuth authentication.

Authenticate to the Lever API via basic auth by providing an API key as the username and leaving the password blank. See here for questions on basic auth.

Create and manage your API keys from the Integrations and API page in Settings of your Lever account, on the API Credentials tab. Make sure to keep confidentiality in mind when creating keys.

While you can have multiple API keys active at one time, your API keys carry many privileges, so keep them secret!

Rate Limits

We currently rate limit by API key using an implementation of token bucket.

There are no individual endpoint specific limits. By default, we allow a steady state number of 10 requests/second per API key. When possible, we allow bursts of requests up to 20 requests/second.

These defaults are not guaranteed, as they may vary with server load and may change in the future. We recommend retrying using exponential backoff. Rate limits are important to prevent abuse and keep the service available to everyone.

Responses and Errors

Sometimes requests to the API are not successful. Failures can occur for a wide range of reasons. In all cases, the API should return a HTTP Status Code that will indicate the nature of the failure, with a response body in JSON format containing additional information.

200 OK

If data was requested, it will be available in the data field at the top level of the response body.

201 Created

Resource was successfully created and information is available in the data field at the top level of the response body.

301 Moved Permanently

The requested resource has been permanently moved to a new location, which is specified by the Location header in the response. Future references to this resource should use the URI returned in the Location header.

400 Invalid Request

This usually occurs because of a missing or malformed parameter. Check the documentation and the syntax of your request and try again.

401 Unauthorized

A valid API key was not provided with the request. You must authenticate for all requests. Learn more about how authentication works here.

403 Forbidden

Your Lever account settings don't authorize you to perform the requested operation. Talk to a Super Admin on your Lever account to update your API settings.

404 Not Found

Either the request method and path supplied do not specify a known action in the API, or the object specified by the request does not exist.

429 Too Many Requests

Lever imposes a limit of the number of requests a client can make in a short time. Read more about our rate limiting here.

500 Server Error

Oops! There was an error on Lever's end.

503 Service Unavailable

Lever is temporarily down for maintenance. Please retry your requests with exponential backoff.

Example error response

{
  "code": "ResourceNotFound",
  "message": "stages a80bbbe0-d4dd-4eac-bdbf-302345414f93 was not found"
}

Pagination

All resources with a list endpoint (opportunities, users, postings) have pagination support. By default, the limit is set to 100 results.

Pagination parameters:

limit

50 optional A limit on the number of objects to be returned. The limit can range between 1 and 100 items. If no limit is specified, the default for that endpoint is used.

offset

0.1414895548650.a6070140-33db-407c-91f5-2760e15c8e94 optional An offset token specifying the next page of results to return. A paginated list response will include a next attribute that includes an offset token, which can be used as an input parameter to the next request. If an offset is not passed in, the API will fetch the first page of results. You can only pass in an offset that was returned to you via a previously paginated request.

Confidential Data

In Lever, postings, opportunities, and requisitions can be classified as “confidential.” Data on these confidential objects is accessible via the API only if the API key in use has been granted access to confidential data. This access may only be granted during key creation.

An API key that has been granted access to confidential data may retrieve it via the /postings, /opportunities, /candidates, and /requisitions endpoints, granted that the API key also has permission to access the endpoint itself. If the API key in use has not been granted access, any request to retrieve confidential data will return an access error.

Lists

In addition to supporting pagination parameters, all list endpoints share a common format.

data

Array An array of request resource objects

next

0.1414895548650.a6070140-33db-407c-91f5-2760e15c8e94 String Offset token for next page

hasNext

true boolean Whether or not there are more elements available. If false, this is the end of the list.

{
  "data": {...},
  "next" : "0.1414895548650.a6070140-33db-407c-91f5-2760e15c8e94",
  "hasNext": true
}

Customizing the Response

You can customize the response from an endpoint in two ways: you can adjust the attributes included in a response with the include parameter and you can specify which attributes are included as full objects with the expand parameter.

include

/postings?include=content optional All list endpoints support the use of an include parameter to customize the inclusion of fields. By default all fields are included in responses. You can customize the fields included in the response in both lists and singular requests by specifying exactly what fields are desired with include. If the include parameter is specified, no other fields other than those set in the request will be returned. To include multiple optional fields use /postings?include=content&include=followers

expand

/postings?expand=followers optional Many objects contain the ID of another object in their response properties. Those objects can be expanded inline with the expand request parameter. Objects that can be expanded are noted in this documentation. This parameter is available on all API requests and applies to the response of that request only. For example, requesting the users who are followers of a specific candidate will expand the followers property into an array of full user objects. Note: If the expand option is also used, it will take precedence over the include option and anything that is expanded will automatically be included.

Supported File Formats

There are a few instances where you can provide a file as part of a request (e.g: Creating an Opportunity). In requests that allow you to do so, the following file formats are supported:

• docx
• doc
• js
• jpg
• png
• pdf
• txt

Note: In cases where the desired outcome is that an uploaded file be parsed for information (such as in the Creating an Opportunity endpoint), image files are not supported and will not be successfully parsed for information. They will, however, still be uploaded and referenced in the opportunity.

Webhooks

Webhooks allow you to build or set up integrations which subscribe to certain events in Lever. When one of those events is triggered, we’ll send a HTTP POST payload to the webhook’s configured URL. You can specify a custom webhook URL for each event type in Lever.

We also offer one-click integrations with our partners. To see what partner integrations are available, visit your account integration settings.

How to set up webhooks

To configure webhooks for your account, you must be a Super Admin. To get started, visit the webhooks tab in your account integration settings.

Here you can specify exactly what events you would like to enable webhooks for. You can also test your webhook URL from this page. Lever will send a sample request and will indicate whether the request succeeds (2xx) or fails. Our test POST request looks like this:

POST /yourWebhookUrl HTTP/1.1

User-Agent: "Lever-Webhooks"
Content-Type: "application/json"
Content-Length: 202

{
 "triggeredAt": 1431458021951,
 "event": "candidateHired",
 "data": {},
 "signature": "m3e73080553bcbf65f66c90b6m4ac0mb664c6am763efb1899653808864456b36",
 "token": "657fd5a0759c87d35660b096dbc388d1d31058869f08ce3f"
}

If your test request fails, you can view more details about the request and response in the webhooks delivery history.

If your test request happens to fail because you have not set up your service yet or it is not yet running, do not worry. We will still send webhooks to your configured URL even if the test request fails. But please do try and enter a valid URL.

Securing webhooks

We only support HTTPS endpoints

Since we are sending confidential candidate information outside of Lever, we need to ensure all traffic is encrypted. For this reason, we only support HTTPS enabled endpoints. We verify the SSL certificate against a Certificate Authority and, as such, the use of self-signed SSL certificates is not supported. For local development, we suggest using a reverse proxy that supports HTTPS termination such as ngrok.

Request signing

To ensure the authenticity of webhook requests, Lever signs them and includes the signature within the body of the POST request. A signature body parameter will be included with all requests if a signing token has been generated in the integrations settings admin page. You can regenerate your signing token at any time.

Lever uses the follow request parameters to generate the signature:

triggeredAt

1431458021951 When webhook event was triggered

token

257fd5a0759cj7d25260b096dbc3jjd1d2105jj29f0jce2f Randomly generated string with length of 48 characters

To verify the webhook is originating from Lever you need to:

• Concatenate token and triggeredAt values
• Encode the resulting string with the HMAC algorithm (using your signature token as a key and SHA256 digest mode)
• Compare the resulting hexdigest to the signature

Optionally, you can cache the token value locally and not honor any subsequent request with the same token. This will prevent replay attacks. You can also check if the timestamp is not too far from the current time.

Below is a Javascript code sample used to verify the signature:

function validateWebhook(body) {
  var plainText = body.token + body.triggeredAt
  var hash = crypto.createHmac('sha256', SIGNATURE_TOKEN)
  hash.update(plainText)
  hash = hash.digest('hex')
  return body.signature === hash
}

Receiving webhooks

With webhooks, your server is the server receiving the request. Configuring your server to receive a new webhook is no different from creating any other route. You can configure any URL you would like to receive events. Webhooks events are sent as POST requests with the data sent as a JSON object on the request body.

Each event has a similar JSON schema, but a unique data object that is determined by its event type.

Responding to a webhook

To acknowledge you received the webhook without any problem, your server should return a 2xx HTTP status code. Any other information you return in the request headers or request body will be ignored. Any response code outside the 2xx range, including 3xx codes, will indicate to Lever that you did not receive the webhook. When a webhook is not received for whatever reason, Lever will continue trying to send the webhook five times, waiting longer and longer in between tries.

Webhooks delivery history

We show the most recent webhooks from (up to 1,000 requests) from the past two weeks on the webhook configuration page. If you click on one of the deliveries, the detail view for that delivery will open. Here you will be able to see the request and response associated with that delivery. Furthermore, if the webhook request failed, you can view additional information about the error here.

Webhook requests can also be rerun manually by clicking on the 'Rerun' button from within the detail view.

Lever API Reference

A reference for the types of data you can access through the Lever API.

Applications

When a candidate applies to a job posting, an application is created.

Lever is candidate-centric, meaning that candidates can exist in the system without being applied to a specific job posting. However, almost all candidates are applied to job postings, and thus almost all candidates have one or more applications.

There are three different ways that applications can be created in Lever:

• Through a posting: An application is created when a candidate applies to a job posting through your company's public or internal job site, or is submitted by an agency.
• By a user: A team member at your company manually adds a job posting to a specific candidate in Lever.
• As a referral: A team member at your company refers the candidate into Lever for a specific job posting.

Candidates can be applied to multiple job postings, meaning that candidates can have multiple applications. A candidate or contact may have multiple applications, each of which will be on a unique Opportunity. An Opportunity will have no more than one Application.

Lever tracks certain activity by recording audit events. This endpoint exposes those events to help security teams monitor sensitive activity within Lever and investigate past activity when there may have been a violation.

Broadly, Lever's audit events track the following (see Tracked actions for the full list):

• User provisioning: Why does a user have the access they have?
• User authentication: Who is trying to access the system, and when?
• Data export: How is our data leaving the system?

Tracked actions

This is the full list of actions tracked by audit events.

Event details

Each type of event has a slightly different structure in meta.

account:added

Account was created by a Lever employee.

"meta": {
  "account": {
    "id": "50393edd-66d3-4590-8b6f-5e72abf33b20",
    "name": "Brickly"
  }
}

account:deactivated

Account was deactivated by a Lever employee due to a support request.

"meta": {
  "account": {
    "id": "561a7574-137e-472d-af76-c4d2ace16061",
    "name": "Brickly"
  }
}

account:reactivated

Account was reactivated by a Lever employee due to a support request.

"meta": {
  "account": {
    "id": "cf8a0ccf-1700-4476-9308-d5cf00567f6e",
    "name": "Brickly"
  }
}

account.authentication:changed

Account authentication configuration was changed by a Lever employee due to a support request.

"meta": {
  "account": {
    "id": "c3982d97-4440-473d-97cd-db9cc76ed9e6",
    "name": "Brickly"
  },
  "from": {
    "googleApps": true,
    "direct": false,
    "saml": false
  },
  "to": {
    "googleApps": true,

account.plan:changed

  },
  "from": "Enterprise",

}

account.suites:changed

Account suite configuration was changed by a Lever employee due to a support request.

An account's suite configuration defines the authorization provider, calendar provider, and email provider for each of their domains (such as google for G Suite). Most accounts will use the same provider across features and use the default configuration for that provider, but Lever also allows a custom suite provider option where each feature (authorization, email, and calendar) are configured separately.

"meta": {
  "account": {
    "id": "5dbe892e-77d8-433a-9b04-a903e125c61c",
    "name": "Brickly"
  },

    {
      "domain": "brick.ly",
      "provider": "custom"
    }
  ],
  "to": [
    {

      "provider": "google"
    }
  ]
}

export:downloaded

A company admin downloaded a report’s data (with “Export to spreadsheet”) or other account data (like an interview feedback export) as a CSV file. The rows property is the number of non-header rows in the downloaded report.

"meta": {
  "export": {
    "id": "026cd5a3-1259-4d90-91cb-8380eb5151b2",
    "name": "026cd5a3-1259-4d90-91cb-8380eb5151b2.all-postings.csv",
    "rows": 45
  }
}

key:added

A user added a new API key for the Postings or Data API ("postings-api" or "data-api"). If the key was added for a partner from the account's Integration settings, then "partner" will be set to true.

    "partner": true,
    "tokenLastFour": "K1o2",
    "service": "data-api"
  }
}

user:added

A new user was added to the account. This can happen in four ways:

• A new user is invited by a company admin.
• A new user is scheduled to conduct an interview by a company hiring manager or admin adds their email to the interview panel (The new user is created as an "interviewer" — the lowest level of access)
• A user signs in for the first time. The new user is created as an "interviewer" — the lowest level of access. (Only for accounts using Google Auth)
• A new user is added by a Lever employee due to a support request.

"meta": {
  "user": {
    "id": "2d0f761f-e306-4603-8fa4-abf1eae25281",
    "email": "kelly@brickly.com",
    "name": "Kelly Ripa",
    "role": "interviewer"
  }
}

user:deactivated

An existing user’s account is disabled. This action can only be performed by a company admin on another user, or by a Lever employee for a support request.

"meta": {
  "user": {
    "id": "dcb2242a-3fbc-4352-8035-daf7bfdd6c8d",
    "email": "kripa@brickly.com",
    "name": "Kelly Ripa",
    "role": "admin"
  }
}

user:merged

Two existing user accounts are merged together. The target of the event is the canonical user, while the “duplicate” user is the one which gets merged into the other user and then deleted (generating a separate user:removed event for that user). This can only be done by a Lever employee for a support request.

"meta": {
  "user": {
    "id": "3c351294-58fd-46f9-95bb-749d0b0578e5",
    "email": "kripa@brickly.com",

    "role": "admin"
  },
  "duplicate": {

    "email": "kelly.ripa@brickly.com",
    "name": "kelly.ripa",
    "role": "interviewer"
  }
}

user:reactivated

A deactivated user’s account is re-enabled. This action can only be performed by a company admin on another user, or by a Lever employee for a support request.

"meta": {
  "user": {
    "id": "0873fd05-5f3a-4cd0-89c1-bde4e4b2ad90",
    "email": "kripa@brickly.com",
    "name": "Kelly Ripa",
    "role": "admin"
  }
}

user:removed

A user account is entirely deleted. This can only be done after a user merge by a Lever employee for a support request.

"meta": {
  "user": {
    "id": "d4f106b5-f8a4-4074-a372-fafa1bbe4b02",
    "email": "kripa@brickly.com",
    "name": "Kelly Ripa",
    "role": "admin"
  }
}

user.authentication:failed

A user attempted to log in via the method configured for the account but was rejected for some reason.

"meta": {
  "authentication": {
    "method": "direct",
    "error": {
      "message": "Looks like you don't have permission to access this organization",
      "type": "user-deactivated"
    }
  },
  "user": {
    "id": "45e1fc9b-9ffc-48fb-8339-a8f41b37dfce",
    "email": "kelly@brickly.com",
    "name": "Kelly Ripa",
    "role": "admin"
  }
}

"meta": {
  "user": {
    "email": "nully@brickly.com"
  },
  "authentication": {
    "method": "direct",
    "error": {

      "type": "user-not-found"
    }
  }
}

user.authentication:succeeded

    "role": "admin"
  },
  "authentication": {
    "method": "direct"

    "role": "admin"
  }
}

user.password:changed

A user changed their password after a password reset or from their own user settings. The "from" and "to" values are always redacted and stored as "****" because they're sensitive data. (Redacted properties make it easier to display :changed events in a consistent way.)

List all files

GET /opportunities/:opportunity/files

WARNING: The List all files endpoint via /candidates/ is deprecated but maintained for backwards compatibility and will return the same response as the corresponding request to /opportunities/:opportunity/files. To list all files for a given candidate, use the List all opportunities endpoint, specifying the relevant contact UID in the contact_id parameter, to find all Opportunities for the candidate. Then use the List all files endpoint via /opportunities/ for each of the Opportunities.

Parameters

uploaded_at_start, uploaded_at_end

1407460069499 Optional Filter files by the timestamp they were uploaded at. If only uploaded_at_start is specified, all files uploaded from that timestamp (inclusive) to the present will be included. If only uploaded_at_end is specified, all files uploaded before that timestamp (inclusive) are included. If either value is not a proper timestamp a 400 error will be returned for a malformed request.

Opportunities

"Candidates" are individuals who have been added to your Lever account as potential fits for your open job positions. "Opportunities" represent each of an individual’s unique candidacies or journeys through your pipeline for a given job position, meaning a single Candidate can be associated with multiple Opportunities. A “Contact” is a unique individual who may or may not have multiple candidacies or Opportunities.

Candidates enter your pipeline for a new Opportunity by:

• Applying to a posting on your jobs site,
• Being added by an external recruiting agency,
• Being referred by an employee,
• Being manually added by a Lever user, or
• Being sourced from an online profile.

Each Opportunity can have their own notes, feedback, interview schedules, and additional forms. An opportunity may be “confidential” if it is moving through your pipeline for a job posting that has been created as confidential. Opportunities exit your pipeline by being archived for one of two reasons: (1) The candidate was rejected for the opportunity, or (2) The candidate was hired for the opportunity.

A "Contact" is an object that our application uses internally to identify an individual person and their personal or contact information, even though they may have multiple opportunities. From this API, the "Contact" is exposed via the contact field, which returns the unique ID for a Contact across your account. Contact information will be shared and consistent across an individual person's opportunities, and will continue to be aggregated onto individual opportunities in the responses to all GET and POST requests to /opportunities.

WARNING: These Opportunities endpoints should be used instead of the now deprecated Candidates endpoints. Prior to the migration, for any given Candidate, the candidateId you would use for a request to a Candidates endpoint can be used as the opportunityId in a request to the corresponding Opportunities endpoint.

Going forward, the contact field is the unique identifier for a Contact or an individual person in Lever, so all integrations should be built and updated using the contact as the unique person identifier and opportunityId as a specific opportunity or candidacy moving through the pipeline.

List deleted opportunities

Lists all deleted Opportunities in your Lever account.

GET /opportunities/deleted

Parameters

deleted_at_start, deleted_at_end

1407460069499 Optional Filter deleted Opportunities by the timestamp they were deleted. If only deleted_at_start is specified, all Opportunities deleted from that timestamp (inclusive) to the present will be included. If only deleted_at_end is specified, all Opportunities deleted before that timestamp (inclusive) are included.

Create an opportunity

POST /opportunities

This endpoint enables integrations to create candidates and opportunities in your Lever account.

If you want to apply a candidate to a job posting or create a custom job site, you should use the Lever Postings API instead of the Lever Data API.

We accept requests of type application/json and multipart/form-data. If you are including a resume or other files, you must use the multipart/form-data type.

There are many ways to create a candidate. Here are some examples:

• Provide a JSON representation of a candidate with basic information like candidate name, email, and phone number
• Upload just a resume file and specify you'd like the resume parsed. Information parsed from the resume will be used to create the candidate—their name, email, and phone number, for example.

Note: If you are creating a confidential opportunity, you must provide a posting UID for a confidential job posting. Learn more about confidential data in the API.

If candidate information is provided in the POST request and resume parsing is requested, the manually provided information will always take precedence over the parsed information from the candidate resume.

All fields are optional, but an empty candidate is not particularly interesting. All query parameters except the perform_as parameter are optional.

If an email address is provided, we will always attempt to dedupe the candidate. If a match is found, we will create a new Opportunity that is linked to the existing matching candidate’s contact (i.e. we never create a new contact, or person, if a match has been found). The existing candidate’s contact data will take precedence over new manually provided information.

If a contact already exists for a candidate, the ID of the existing contact may be provided in the POST request to create an opportunity associated with the existing candidate's contact (the candidate will be deduped). If additional contact details are included in the request (emails, phones, tags, web links), these will be added to the existing candidate's contact information.

Parameters

Specify query parameters in the url (e.g. POST /opportunities?perform_as=8d49b010-cc6a-4f40-ace5-e86061c677ed).

perform_as

8d49b010-cc6a-4f40-ace5-e86061c677ed Required Perform this create on behalf of a specified user. The creator and the owner of this Opportunity will default to the perform_as user. The owner can be explicitly specified in the request body if you want the owner to be a different person.

parse

true Optional If unspecified, assumed to be false. If set to true and a resume file is provided, the resume will be parsed and extracted data will be used to autofill information about the contact such as email and phone number. Any fields manually passed to the endpoint take precedence over any parsed data.

perform_as_posting_owner

true Optional If unspecified, assumed to be false and the Opportunity owner will default to the perform_as user. If set to true, an array containing a single posting UID must be passed in via the postings field. The Opportunity owner will be set to that of the posting owner for the single posting. If the posting does not have an owner, the Opportunity owner will default to the perform_as user.

Fields

If a resume file is provided and parsing is enabled, the following fields can be populated with extracted data (although no information is guaranteed to be extracted): name, headline, emails, phones, location, company, and links. The candidate headline is typically composed of prior companies where they worked or schools that they attended.

When using the multipart/form-data encoding, specify each array field individually. For example, for emails specify an emails[] field for each email address. For any fields with nested values, you can specify the values of nest fields using the syntax archive[archivedAt]=1407460071043.

Postings

Job postings organize candidates based on the specific roles that they may fit into on your growing team. There are four different states of job postings: published, internal, closed, and draft. NOTE: In the Lever app, we refer to internal postings as “unlisted” postings. For organizations that have enabled job posting approvals, there are two additional states: pending and rejected.

• published job postings are postings that appear on your public job site, internal job site, or both, depending on which distribution channels you have configured. You'll want to mark a job posting as published when you would like the posting to appear on one or more of your job sites.
• internal job postings are postings that will NOT appear on your public or internal job sites. In the Lever app, internal postings are referred to as “unlisted” postings. You can, however, apply candidates to these internal postings. In addition, anyone with the link to an internal posting can apply, and people can refer candidates to any internal postings.
• closed job postings are postings that will NOT appear on your public or internal job sites, likely because they are roles that you've already filled! You'll want to keep a job posting in the closed state instead of deleting it so that you can easily build reports on this specific job posting. If you and your team re-open the role, you can always move a closed posting back to published or internal.
• draft job postings are postings that you are still in the process of finalizing. draft postings will NOT appear on your public or internal job sites. Once you've finalized a draft job posting, you'll want to change the state of the posting to published or internal.
• pending job postings are postings that are awaiting approval. This state is applicable for organizations that are using the job posting approval workflows in Lever.
• rejected job postings are postings that were submitted for approval and rejected. This state is applicable for organizations that are using the job posting approval workflows in Lever.

Update a posting

POST /postings/:posting

This endpoint enables integrations to partial-update postings in your Lever account. Only the provided attributes will be updated and other attributes will not be changed on a partial update. Updating a posting through the API will not go through the approvals chain. However, API-modified postings can be created as drafts, and postings can still go through approvals within Lever Hire.

Lever accepts requests of type application/json.

Job postings are an integral part of Lever’s web application, and users are able to create and edit job postings within the Lever application. To minimize conflicts, make sure to get the most recent version before making updates.

Parameters

Specify query parameters in the url (e.g. POST /postings/:posting?perform_as=8d49b010-cc6a-4f40-ace5-e86061c677ed).

perform_as

8d49b010-cc6a-4f40-ace5-e86061c677ed Required Perform this update on behalf of a specified user.

Requisitions

To push requisitions from your HRIS to Lever, you'll want to take advantage of the write functionality of our requisitions API. To do so, a Super Admin of your account must enable API management from within the Lever Requisitions settings page. Alternatively, if you are using Lever to create and organize your requisitions, you can still read from the requisitions API endpoints.

If you'd like to push data into Lever that does not fall into the provided top-level categories, Lever supports the creation of custom fields (customFields) in your requisitions. When adding customFields onto a requisition, Lever validates the schema of those custom fields (e.g. compensation band, target hire date, hiring manager, etc.) against the requisition field schema that exists in your account. This ensures that your data is accurately stored and translated. Your requisition field schema can be managed within Lever by an account Admin or Super Admin, or via the requisition_field endpoint. See below for additional details about the requisition_fields endpoint.

Update a requisition

When your requisitions change, be sure to update them in Lever to keep the data consistent across tools. When you PUT data, Lever expects you to send the entire resource. Every field will be overwritten by the body of the PUT request. If you don't include a field, it will be deleted or reset to its default. Be sure to include all fields you still want to be populated. The requisition status cannot be moved back to draft if it is open, closed, or onHold.

Delete a requisition

If a requisition is created by mistake, or if you need to remove a requisition for any reason from your Lever account, you'll want to use the DELETE method.

DELETE /requisitions/:requisition

Examples

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X DELETE -u API_KEY: https://api.lever.co/v1/requisitions/52881d44-4f95-4fcb-bf28-2b344ea58889

204 - No Content

Requisition fields

Requisition fields are the schema for the custom fields on your requisitions. For example, if all of your requisitions include a "Compensation band" field, before creating any requisitions that include "Compensation band", you must either create the requisition field on the account through the settings page in Lever, or POST the "Compensation band" field schema to this endpoint. After doing so, this custom field will become available across your account's requisitions. See "Retrieve a single requisition field" below for an example of a "Compensation band" field schema.

You can have up to 100 custom fields for your account.

For each requisition field that is of type object, it can have one level of nested properties as subfields and can have up to 10 subfields.

For each requisition field that is of type dropdown, it can have one level of nested properties as options and can have up to 2000 options.

If you delete or modify a requisition_field from your account, any existing requisitions on your account that use the deleted/modified requisition field schema will become read-only.

Create a requisition field

When working with requisitions via the API, we validate custom fields against the requisition field schema established in your account settings. Using this requisition_field endpoint, you can create a set of requisition field schema that then become available across your account for use on any requisition you POST to the API.

Requisition fields can be one of the following types:

• date: UTC datetime (milliseconds since midnight 01 January, 1970 UTC)
• number: integer/float
• object: this type of field schema also contains a subfield property which has one level of nested field schemas.
• text: string
• dropdown: this type of field schema also contains an options property which contains an array of option objects.

We accept POSTs of type application/json and required fields are indicated below.

POST /requisition_fields

Limitations

• You can have up to 100 requisition field schema on your account.
• Requisition fields of type object can have up to 10 subfields.
• Requisition fields of type dropdown can have up to 8000 total options. Each update request, however, can only have 4000 options; so to add more than 4000 options, you'll need to create the field with 4000 records, and then update it with the additional options.

Update a requisition field

Just like the process of updating a requisition, you'll want to POST the whole requisition_field object again, with the updated properties. Anything that you do not include will be considered deleted and will be removed. This data cannot be recovered from within Lever or via our API. If you change the type of the subfield (for example: the type of "cost_center" goes from "object" to "text"), any past requisitions that use the cost_center customField will retain their original data, and these fields will become read-only.

PUT /requisition_fields/:requisition_field

Examples

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -u API_KEY: -d '{
    "id": "cost_center",
    "text": "Cost center",
    "type": "text",
    "isRequired": true

Updating dropdown fields

While possible to update a dropdown field by replacing the whole object as described above, it's also possible to append, update, and delete the options of the dropdown without needing to POST that whole object.

POST /requisition_fields/:requisition_field/options

PUT /requisition_fields/:requisition_field/options

DELETE /requisition_fields/:requisition_field/options

Examples

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -u API_KEY: -d '{

Resumes

Resumes are data about a candidate's work history and/or education. Some resumes may have files associated with them. Resumes can be added to an Opportunity in a number of ways. For example, when (1) the candidate applies to a job posting and uploads a resume (usually this will have a file associated with it), (2) when a recruiter uses the Chrome extension tool via Linkedin, Github, Twitter, etc., (3) the candidate is manually added by a recruiter or (4) a resume file is added directly to an Opportunity from within Lever.

List all resumes

GET /opportunities/:opportunity/resumes

WARNING: The List all resumes endpoint via /candidates/ is deprecated but maintained for backwards compatibility and will return the same response as the corresponding request to /opportunities/:opportunity/resumes. To list all resumes for a given candidate, use the List all opportunities endpoint, specifying the relevant contact UID in the contact_id parameter, to find all Opportunities for the candidate. Then use the List all resumes endpoint via /opportunities/ for each of the Opportunities.

Parameters

uploaded_at_start, uploaded_at_end

1407460069499 Optional Filter resumes by the timestamp they were uploaded at. If only uploaded_at_start is specified, all resumes uploaded from that timestamp (inclusive) to the present will be included. If only uploaded_at_end is specified, all resumes uploaded before that timestamp (inclusive) are included. If either value is not a proper timestamp a 400 error will be returned for a malformed request. If there is no uploadedAt date on the resume (for example, resumes parsed from online sources such as LinkedIn or GitHub) the createdAt date will be used instead.

Create a user

This endpoint enables integrations to create users in your Lever account.

Users will be created with the Interviewer access role by default. Users may be created with Interviewer, Limited Team Member, Team Member, Admin, or Super Admin access.

If you don't include a field, it will be deleted or reset to its default. Be sure to include all fields you still want to be populated. name, email, and accessRole are required fields.
