  • Статья

All job applications should be sent via the Middleware Platform whenever they are created or updated in your ATS. Use your job application identifier when syncing via the API.

Throttle Limits

Throttle Limits Requests Per Day (UTC) Records Per Minute
Application maximum 100,000 10,000

Note

Please submit batch calls grouped with no more than 100 records in sequential order.

Sync Applications

Use the following endpoint to create and update records:

PUT https://api.linkedin.com/v2/atsApplications?ids[0].atsJobApplicationId={id1}&ids[0].dataProvider=ATS&ids[0].integrationContext={organization URN}&ids[1].atsJobApplicationId={id2}&ids[1].dataProvider=ATS&ids[1].integrationContext={organization URN}

For each id specified in the request:

  • Use your job application id as the value of id[i].atsJobApplicationId
  • Use the customer's organization id as the value of id[i].integrationContext. The format should be urn:li:organization:{id}

Note

When updating an existing record, you must specify all available fields. Omitting a field will set it to null.

Note

The combination of the above 3 mandatory query parameters will be used as a unique identifier for your synced job application within LinkedIn in later requests.
