Quickstart - Outhire

Get your API key

Open API key settings

Navigate to Settings > API Keys in the Outhire app, or go directly to /settings/api-keys.API key management is available to admin users only.

Create a key

Click Create API key and give it a descriptive name (e.g. “Production ATS sync”).Outhire generates a key in the format:

outh_a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678901234567890abcd

Copy your key immediately

Your API key is only displayed once. After you close the creation dialog, the raw key cannot be retrieved — only a short prefix is stored for identification.

Store the key securely (e.g. in a secrets manager or environment variable).

Make your first request

All API requests use Bearer token authentication in the Authorization header:

curl https://app.outhire.ai/api/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer outh_a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678901234567890abcd"

A successful response returns your company’s jobs. If the key is missing, invalid, or revoked, you’ll receive a 401:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "unauthorized",
    "message": "Missing or invalid API key."
  }
}
