What the API Offers
The API automates both ends of the assessment workflow. Your system triggers the invitation, Equip runs the test, and your system pulls the result back.The API does not expose Equip’s question bank. If your assessment uses Equip content, questions are still picked automatically from the Question Bank and shown only to the candidate during their attempt.
Costs
API access is included with the Premium and Elite plans, no separate setup fee or minimum purchase required. Teams on Standard need to upgrade to Premium or above to use the API.Credits work the same way for API-driven invitations as for dashboard invitations. See How Credits Work for deduction and reclaim rules.
