Apply for job - SG Developers

This endpoint is deprecated. Please do not use it for new projects. The documentation remains here for legacy API consumers. Please use the Frontend API V3.

Applying for a job posting

This method either gets an exisiting application or creates a new one, its endpoint is /jobs/{jobDbId}/apply:

curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET "https://api.softgarden.io/api/rest/v2/frontend/jobs/{jobDbId}/apply?creationMode={creationMode}"

1	curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET "https://api.softgarden.io/api/rest/v2/frontend/jobs/{jobDbId}/apply?creationMode={creationMode}"

with TOKEN being user access token, note that in contrast to most of the functionality in the job API, a client client access token is not sufficient. The {jobDbId} corresponds to the ID of the job in the database, the {creationMode} defines how the new application is to be created, You find more details below.

The system attempts to localize the resulting ApplicationData using information from the header. In the curl example you can manipulate the header by adding -H “Accept-Language:{locale}”, whereat locale can be en, de and so on.
