The Sorce API lets partners run hiring without touching the dashboard: create and edit jobs, search locations, set spend budgets, and publish listings. All requests go to: 
https://www.sorce.jobs/api/external/v1
Authenticate with a partner key (sk_ext_…) bound to your company. See Authentication. Keys are issued by the Sorce team; contact us at employers@sorce.jobs. A partner key can only ever touch your company’s jobs. Requests for another company’s jobs return 404.

The shape of a job

A job moves through a small lifecycle: 
DRAFT → ACTIVE ⇄ PAUSED → CLOSED
              ↘ EXPIRED (30 days after publish)
  • Drafts are free-form: any subset of fields, saved as you go.
  • Publishing requires the listing to be complete (title, description, workplace type, job type, level, salary range, a bid per qualified applicant, and at least one required qualification), your organization to have accepted the current terms in the dashboard, and a payment method on file. See Publishing.
  • Live edits are validated: a change that would blank a required field out of an ACTIVE listing is rejected whole, so candidates never see a half-edited job.
  • Once a job has applications, its qualifications and questions freeze (candidates were screened against them); everything else stays editable.
  • Applicant basics are automatic. Every application carries the candidate’s name, email, phone, location, and resume - you never configure these. questions are additional, custom screening questions layered on top; don’t re-add the basics there.

​
Billing in one paragraph

You pay per qualified applicant, at the bid the job carried when the application arrived. Balances collect monthly against your card on file. Spend budgets cap what a job or your whole company can spend per day, week, month, or lifetime. Applications that would cross a cap are still delivered, just never billed.
