💡 Being aware of which applications are tracked
🚦 Hiring signals
📈 Application stage changes
❓ ATS-specific limitations

Top level filters use AND, while individual filters use OR if they accept multiple arguments. That means filters will be resolved like this: (id IN ids) AND (remote_id IN remote_ids)

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Create an API key on the Secrets page in the Kombo dashboard.

Headers

X-Integration-Id

string

required

ID of the integration you want to interact with.

Query Parameters

cursor

string

An optional cursor string used for pagination. This can be retrieved from the next property of the previous page response.

page_size

integer

default:100

The number of results to return per page. Maximum is 250.

Required range: 1 <= x <= 250

updated_after

string

Filter the entries based on the modification date in format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ. If you want to track entry deletion, also set the include_deleted=true query parameter, because otherwise, deleted entries will be hidden.

include_deleted

enum<string>

default:false

By default, deleted entries are not returned. Use the include_deleted query param to include deleted entries too.

Available options:

true,

false

ids

string

Filter by a comma-separated list of IDs such as 222k7eCGyUdgt2JWZDNnkDs3,B5DVmypWENfU6eMe6gYDyJG3.

remote_ids

string

Filter by a comma-separated list of remote IDs.

outcome

enum<string>

deprecated

(⚠️ Deprecated - Use the outcomes filter instead.) Filter applications by outcome. This allows you to get applications that are for example PENDING, HIRED, or DECLINED.

Available options:

PENDING,

HIRED,

DECLINED

outcomes

string

Filter by a comma-separated list of PENDING, HIRED, DECLINED

PENDING: The application is still being processed.
HIRED: The candidate was hired.
DECLINED: The candidate was declined.

Leave this blank to get results matching all values.

job_ids

string

Filter by a comma-separated list of job IDs. We will only return applications that are related to any of the jobs.

job_remote_ids

string

Filter by a comma-separated list of job remote IDs. We will only return applications that are related to any of the jobs.

current_stage_ids

string

Filter by a comma-separated list of application stage IDs. We will only return applications that are currently in any of the stages.

remote_created_after

string

Filter applications by the day they were created in the remote system. This allows you to get applications that were created on or after a certain day.

Response

200

application/json

GET /ats/applications Successful response

status

enum<string>

required

Available options:

success

data

object

required

data.next

string | null

required

Cursor string that can be passed to the cursor query parameter to get the next page. If this is null, then there are no more pages.

data.results

object[]

required

data.results.id

string

required

The globally unique ID of this object generated by Kombo. We recommend using this as a stable primary key for syncing.

data.results.remote_id

string | null

required

The raw ID of the object in the remote system. We don't recommend using this as a primary key on your side as it might sometimes be compromised of multiple identifiers if a system doesn't provide a clear primary key.

data.results.outcome

enum<string> | null

required

Parsed status of the application. If Kombo identifies that the application was accepted and the candidate hired, it will be HIRED. If the application was rejected or the candidate declined, it will be DECLINED. If the application is still in process, it will be PENDING. Kombo will always try to deliver this information as reliably as possible.

Available options:

PENDING,

HIRED,

DECLINED

data.results.rejection_reason_name

string | null

required

Reason for the rejection of the candidate.

data.results.rejected_at

string | null

required

The time that the application was rejected.

data.results.current_stage_id

string | null

required

ID of the current application stage

data.results.job_id

string | null

required

The Kombo ID of the job which the candidate applied to. The ID can be used to retrieve the job from the get jobs endpoint.

data.results.candidate_id

string | null

required

The Kombo ID of the candidate who applied to the job. The ID can be used to retrieve the candidate from the get candidates endpoint.

data.results.custom_fields

object | null

required

A key-value store of fields not covered by the schema. Read more

data.results.integration_fields

object[]

required

An array of selected pass-through integration fields. Read more

Example:

[
  {
    "id": "5NVFhMpB9Ah6by44tzNjZLyE",
    "key": "firstName",
    "type": "DEFAULT",
    "value": "Frank",
    "label": "First Name"
  },
  {
    "id": "8nuajYpoRd5GnxEQaaWKUDYQ",
    "key": "customTshirtSize",
    "type": "CUSTOM",
    "value": "XL",
    "label": "T-Shirt Size"
  }
]

data.results.changed_at

string

required

The timestamp when this object was last changed. This value is tracked by Kombo based on changes in the data.

data.results.remote_deleted_at

string | null

required

The date and time the object was deleted in the remote system. Objects are automatically marked as deleted when Kombo can't retrieve them from the remote system anymore. Kombo will also anonymize entries 14 days after they disappear.

data.results.remote_created_at

string | null

required

The date and time the object was created in the remote system.

data.results.remote_updated_at

string | null

required

A timestamp retrieved from the remote system, describing when the resource was last updated.

data.results.remote_data

object | null

required

Includes the data fetched from the remote system. Please be aware that including this in you scope config might violate other scopes that are set.

Remote data always has the endpoint path that we got the data from as the top level key. For example, it could look like: { "/companies": { ... }}

This is not available on all plans. Reach out to Kombo if you need it.

data.results.candidate

object | null

required

data.results.current_stage

object | null

required

data.results.job

object | null

required

Example:

{
  "id": "26vafvWSRmbhNcxJYqjCzuJg",
  "remote_id": "32",
  "name": "Backend Engineer"
}

data.results.interviews

object[]

required

data.results.offers

object[]

data.results.screening_question_answers

object[] | null

A list of answers to screening questions. The screening answer type FILE is currently unsupported.
