An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols that enables one software application to interact with another. An API defines methods and data formats that applications can use to communicate, request and send data, perform operations, and enable integrations.
The Karat API is designed to allow organizations to integrate Karat's interview services directly into their workflows and applicant tracking systems (ATS). With this API, companies can automate tasks related to:
- Creating and deleting users
- Inviting candidates to interview with Karat
- Scheduling interviews
- Updating candidate details
- Updating candidacies with the final outcome for each candidate
Benefits of using Karat API
The Karat API integrates seamlessly with your Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to streamline the interview scheduling process for recruiters and hiring managers. If you use Greenhouse, Jobvite, Ashby, Lever or iCIMS as your ATS, you may be interested in see the ATS integrations already available for Karat.
With this integration, recruiters can schedule technical interviews with Karat directly from your ATS, eliminating the need for manual scheduling and reducing the time to fill open positions.
The integration also allows for real-time candidate feedback and assessment data to be automatically added to the ATS, giving hiring teams a more comprehensive view of a candidate’s interview performance.
By using the Karat API, organizations can reduce the manual workload associated with managing technical interviews, improve their hiring processes, make more informed hiring decisions, and improve the overall candidate experience.
Architecture
The Karat API is built on GraphQL, a modern query language originally developed by Facebook as an alternative to REST APIs.
GraphQL allows clients to:
- Request precisely the data they need in a single query
- Access all relevant information through a single API endpoint
For more information, see GraphQL official documentation.
