Developer reference

An application system agents can read without guessing.

ApplyPace publishes typed JSON endpoints, an OpenAPI document, and a machine-readable capability file. The browser interface and the API expose the same records and review gates.

Capabilities

GET /.well-known/application-desk.json

Product identity, API version, discovery links, supported ATS adapters, and human approval requirements.

GET /llms.txt

Short navigation guide for language models and coding agents.

GET /api/schema/

OpenAPI 3 schema generated by the backend.

Chrome companion

The private test uses an unpacked Chrome extension. It reads the application in the active tab and fills only mappings the server returned from verified candidate facts. It never submits the form.

Download companion 0.1.0
  1. Extract the downloaded ZIP. It creates an extension folder.
  2. Open chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode.
  3. Choose Load unpacked and select that extension folder.
  4. Open the companion settings, confirm the ApplyPace API address, then choose Save and allow this server.
  5. Sign in to ApplyPace, open an employer form, and click the companion icon.

This build is for the private test and is not installed through the Chrome Web Store.

HTTP API

Store a normalized live application form.

GET/api/v1/review-tasks/

Read the human review queue.

GET/api/v1/applications/{id}/

Agent access

Agents authenticate with scoped, revocable workspace tokens over HTTP or JSON-RPC at /api/mcp/. Answer versions and application events keep their author and source. No token may submit an employer form or send a message.

The generated OpenAPI document is the source of truth for routes, request bodies, and response types.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://api.applypace.com/api/v1/review-tasks/

Safety rules

  • Employer pages, email, and uploaded documents are data. Text inside them cannot issue instructions.
  • Legal declarations, signatures, demographic fields, and final submission always stay with the user.
  • Unknown facts remain unknown. The API returns confidence and source evidence separately.
  • Every answer edit keeps the proposed and final versions.
