Getting started with Talent API


Introduction

The Talent API is a powerful tool designed to streamline the integration of employee or customer data and verification services into your applications.

Whether you're looking to retrieve employee or customer IDs, perform background checks, or verify other critical employee, cutomer or business information, the Talent API makes these processes simple and efficient.

This API is ideal for HR software, workforce management platforms, or any system requiring employee or business data access and verification.


Why Talent API?

Talent API offers several benefits to developers and organizations including:

  • Ease of Integration: Simplified endpoints ensure quick and seamless integration with your existing systems.
  • Accurate Data: Access reliable and up-to-date employee information for informed decision-making.
  • Time-Saving: Automates the process of employee verification and background checks, reducing manual workload.
  • Scalability: Supports high traffic and large-scale operations to meet the demands of growing businesses.
  • Security: Protects sensitive employee data with robust security measures.

The Overral Syntax

Follow the steps below to familiarize yourself with the overall syntax of the Talent API.

The Base URL

The base URL is where you can access and interact with the API.
All API requests must be directed to the base URL followed by the respective endpoint.

api.jobzy.africa/ 

Sample Request function

Here's an example of how the request function body would look in your favourite language or framework.

#include <curl/curl.h>
 
int main(void) {
CURL *curl;
CURLcode res;
 
struct curl_slist *headers = NULL;
headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"); // Replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with your actual API key
 
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.jobzy.africa/endpoint"); // Replace 'endpoint' with the actual endpoint
 
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers);
 
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res != CURLE_OK)
  fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n",
          curl_easy_strerror(res));
 
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
curl_slist_free_all(headers);
}
return 0;
}


NOTE: Do not forget to include "x-api-key" in your request headers with the actual API key value for authentication purposes, as indicated above!
NOTE: All API endpoints are accessible via the base URL + country code + service code.
For example, api.jobzy.africa/ke/address to inquire about a Kenyan employee's official address.
