Equip’s REST APIs let you run assessments and AI interviews from inside your own ATS or internal tools. You invite candidates, fetch their results and manage job openings programmatically, without working in the Equip dashboard.

​
What the API Offers

When you invite candidates, each gets a unique link, and you choose whether Equip sends the invitation email (it does by default) and how many days the link stays valid.
Every API request acts as your team’s admin recruiter. A write on a read-only endpoint returns “API key authentication is read-only for this endpoint”; any endpoint outside the allowed list returns “API key authentication is not allowed for this endpoint”.

​
Costs

API access is part of the Integrations & Webhooks feature on the Elite plan, with no separate setup fee or minimum purchase.
Credits work the same way for API-driven invitations as for dashboard invitations. See How Credits Work for deduction and reclaim rules.

​
Getting Access

Every team has one API Key, generated by the team admin.

Generate your API Key

On Account → Developers, click Generate API Key and copy the key. It is shown only once; if you lose it, click Rotate API Key to get a new one.
Treat your API Key like a password. Anyone who has it can invite candidates, read results and edit job openings on your team’s behalf, spending your team’s credits.

​
Explore the APIs

A public Postman collection documents the available endpoints. You can browse it freely, but every request needs your team’s API Key. For a walkthrough of wiring the pieces together, follow this integration guide.
You do not always need the full API. If you only want results pushed to you when candidates finish, webhooks are simpler.
