2. Authorization Setup​

For most services, authorization is required. Once your access request is approved, we will provide you with OAuth client credentials — a client_id and a client_secret — that your system uses to authenticate its API calls securely.

How OAuth Works​

  • Request a token: Your server exchanges the credentials for a short-lived access token using the client credentials grant.
  • Secure access: Send the access token with every request to the available endpoints.
  • Renew on expiry: Cache the token for its lifetime and request a new one when it expires — there are no refresh tokens in this flow.

3. Understanding the Documentation​

Our comprehensive documentation provides an overview of available services. Familiarize yourself with the resources to understand how they can be integrated with your systems.

Key Components:​

  • API Endpoints: Detailed descriptions and use cases.
  • Response Formats: Understand the data structures.
  • Error Handling: Guidance on managing API responses effectively.

4. Utilizing the Sandbox Environment​

For development and testing purposes, employ the Sandbox Environment. This allows you to test integrations safely without affecting production data.

5. Transition to Production​

Once testing is complete and you're satisfied with the integration, transition to the production environment. Ensure all requests are thoroughly verified to prevent issues.

  • Production URL: connect.jobrad.org
  • Live Monitoring: Setup alerts and logs for real-time monitoring.

6. Continuous Feedback and Collaboration​

We're always eager to hear from our partners and developers. If you have ideas, requests, or require further assistance, don't hesitate to contact us. Your feedback is invaluable as we continuously enhance our API features and capabilities.
