6. API Keys
The API Keys section is for teams who want to integrate Skima AI's core technology directly into their own systems. An API key is a unique credential that allows your external applications, such as your company's career page or internal database, to securely communicate with Skima AI's services.
The primary use of the API key is to access the Resume Parsing API, which lets you automatically send resumes to Skima AI and have key candidate information extracted and returned in a structured format.
API Keys and Usage
Where to Find Your API Key
- Navigate to 'Settings' from the left sidebar.
- Click on 'API Keys'.
- Your key will be displayed, partially hidden for security.
.png)
Managing Your Key Securely
Treat your API key like a password. If you believe your key has been compromised or you are updating your security policies, click 'Rotate Key' to instantly deactivate the old key and generate a new one.
API Functionality
The API key grants access to a set of endpoints that automate the resume parsing process.
Parse a Single Resume handles one-off resume uploads. When a candidate applies through your website and submits their resume, your system can use this endpoint to send that resume to Skima AI for parsing. It instantly extracts contact details, work experience, and skills and returns them in a structured format.
Parse Multiple Resumes processes large batches at once. If you have hundreds of resumes from an event or a previous campaign, you can send them all in a single request instead of one by one, saving significant processing time.
Check the Status of a Parsing Job lets your system query the progress of a bulk parsing request. Since large jobs take time to complete, this endpoint allows you to check when results are ready without waiting for the entire process to finish.
Get the Overall Status provides a high-level view of all your current parsing tasks so you can monitor API usage and ensure your automated workflows are running as expected.
