Overview

Spark Hire is a video interviewing platform. Take a look at our tour page to get a quick idea of what Spark Hire does.

Our API allows you to integrate video interviewing into your own applications or existing applicant tracking system. You can create users, jobs, interviews,and more.

The Spark Hire API is a RESTful API. All responses are JSON.

Base URL

All API resources listed in this document should be prefixed with https://api.sparkhire.com/v1.0.

Depending on what you are trying to do, the HTTP methods GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE are used. Not all resources support all HTTP methods.

Authentication

In order to make any requests to the API, you must have a current Spark Hire account and have API access enabled for your account. If you need us to enable API access for you, get in touch.

Once you have been granted access you can generate an API key. Each key is tied to a specific user. Anything that user can see via the website will be available via their API key. If a user is not allowed to access a specific interview, it will not appear in any API requests. If a user is disabled, their API keys are also disabled.

Authentication works via HTTP basic auth. The username should be set as the value of the API key, and the password is ignored.

Important: When developing an integration, please ensure that you are using API keys on the user level. Do not use a single API key for all users as this impacts permissions, email notifications, and audit logs for support. 

GET /resource HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Basic eW91ciBhcGkga2V5Ong=
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "data": "stuff"
}

Rate Limiting

Requests are rate limited to ensure the best possible performance of our API. When the rate limit is reached, you will receive a 429 response with a header that tells you how many seconds remain until the limit resets.

Our API implements a rate limit of 400 requests / 1 minute.

This allows for a certain level of burst throughput, but will return the error response after that.

Header Description
X-Rate-Limit-Try-Again-Seconds Number of seconds remaining until the rate limit resets
Warning: We implement other levels of rate limiting in order to further protect the resiliancy of our web application. While we try to keep these responses consistent, the header may not always be present. 
GET /resource HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Basic eW91ciBhcGkga2V5Ong=
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Content-Type: application/json
X-RateLimit-Limit: 1000
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
Retry-After: 45

{
  "reason": "Too Many Requests",
  "code": "api.too_many_requests"
}

Dates and Timestamps

All dates are returned in the RFC3339 format.

Errors

Whenever an error occurs we will try to return a meaningful error message along with the correct HTTP response code.

These are the HTTP response codes we return most often.

Error messages are always in English, but a lang key is provided to simplify localization in your app.

Code Text Description
200 OK Success!
201 Created New job post, interview, or whatever created.
204 No Content When an action has been performed successfully, but there's nothing to return.
400 Bad Request The request was invalid. An accompanying error message will explain why.
402 Payment Required The request was valid, but cannot be completed until a payment is made.
401 Unauthorized Authentication credentials were missing or incorrect.
403 Forbidden The request is understood, but it has been refused or access is not allowed. The error message will explain why.
405 Method Not Allowed Likely trying to do a PUT or POST to a resource that doesn't support it.
410 Gone This resource is gone. Used to indicate that an API endpoint has been turned off.
500 Internal Server Error Something is broken.
503 Service Unavailable Servers are up, but overloaded with requests. Try again later. 
GET /users HTTP/1.1
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "reason": "You must authenticate to access the API.",
  "code": "api.key_not_set"
}

List Querying

Some lists allow you to pass an optional url query string parameters to help you sort and filter the returned items.

The query string parameters vary between arrays and single values.

If the list supports querying, the various keys and values will be documented in that section. 

GET /interviews?status[]=one_way&range=1-20&orderby=scheduled_desc HTTP/1.1
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Type: application/json

Webhooks

Instead of polling the API to look for changes to job posts and interviews, use webhooks. We will notify your server when a change has taken place by POSTing the changed object to your server at the given URL.

For testing, developing, and troubleshooting your webhooks, you may find it easier to use the settings UI:

Webhook management console »

Failing Webhooks

It's important to ensure your webhooks are working and unused ones are cleaned up. Webhooks that fail 15 or more times over 48 hours will be marked as "failing". If the webhooks continue to fail for another 72 hours, they may be automatically disabled.

Replaying a Webhook

To replay a webhook hit the following URL with your webhook Event type to replay the last webhook to your server again. 

GET /webhooks/replay/:event HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

Receiving Webhooks

In order for webhooks to work, your server needs to be accessible from the internet. We also highly recommend using SSL so payloads will be encrypted over HTTPS.

The following webhook headers will be sent to help you differentiate between event and payload types.

Name Description
X-SparkHire-Event The event type that was triggered
X-SparkHire-Payload The type of the payload. It will be a single job, user, interview, or job post object.
X-SparkHire-User-UUID The UUID of the user that own's the webhook. All data will be sent using this users permissions.
X-SparkHire-Webhook-UUID The UUID of the webhook that caused the webhook to be sent

Webhook Event Types

When we POST a payload to your webhook URL, a header is passed stating the type of event that took place.

Event Type Payload Type Description
InterviewCreated Interview When a new interview has been created.
InterviewAccepted Interview When a job seeker accepts an interview.
InterviewDeleted Interview When an interview is deleted by a company user.
InterviewCompleted Interview When a job seeker completes an interview.
InterviewExpired Interview When an interview deadline passes and the job seeker has not completed it.
InterviewRescheduled Interview When an interview is rescheduled.
InterviewReset Interview When an interview is reset by customer support.
JobCreated Job When a new job has been created.
JobDeleted Job When a job post has been deleted.
JobUpdated Job When a job post has been updated.
InterviewRated Rating When a interview has been rated.

Jobs

Before you can start interviewing, you need to create a job and activate it.

With a Spark Hire subscription you get a certain number of job slots that can be active at any given time. Setting a job to 'active' when creating or updating it uses one of your job slots. You can deactivate a job at any time by setting it's status to 'inactive', but candidates will no longer be able to complete their interviews. You can also create as many 'inactive' jobs as you want.

If you are developing something that will be creating job posts get in touch and we will hook you up with a way to test your code without having to burn job credits.

Get a list of job posts

GET /jobs

This resource returns an array of job objects.

See getting a job for an explanation of the data returned for each user.

Create a new interview

POST /interviews

Property Description Required
type one_way or live
✓
scheduled_at When the interview is due. They cannot complete the interview after this time. Must be within 1 year of the current date.
✓
assigned_to A single user object (name, email) or an array of user objects to send interviews to. A new interview will be created for each user object. Creating a single interview returns a single interview, creating multiple returns an array of interviews.

If the plan has interview_sms_notifications enabled and you wish to also send an initial SMS invite along with the email, and an SMS reminder ~24 hours before the interview scheduled_at, you may optionally set phone and phone_parsed values on a user object. Both fields are required if either one is present. The phone value will be displayed in the Spark Hire user interface while phone_parsed is used for telephone link hrefs and is used when sending the actual SMS message. To ensure passing validation and maximum deliverability please ensure the phone_parsed value conforms to the E.164 international standard. There are many ways to parse this value. has_sms_consent must be true when using this functionality.
✓
email_message The text that will be sent along with the interview invitation email  
job_post The UUID of the job post this interview belongs to
✓
questions The format here is the same as in creating an interview question
✓
interview_question_set The uuid of a saved interview question set that you want to clone for this interview. If this is set, the questions array is ignored.
timezone The timezone is used to format a date if the user's current timezone is not known. For example, the invite email that is sent to the user will have a date formatted in this timezone. Can be any valid tz database timezone. Will default to UTC if not set.
has_sms_consent This is required when using phone and phone_parsed in assigned_to for SMS notifications. Please confirm you have permission to contact candidates by SMS text message. We require that some sort of user-initiated active confirmation (like a checkbox) is used to populate this value. It should not just be hard-coded to true.
