Becoming a Data Partner: API Access Explained
For marketing firms, researchers, and analysts who want programmatic access to the aggregate data behind the leaderboard.
4 min readThis is a different account type
Data Partner accounts are for organizations that aren't recruiting on RecruiterLog at all: market research firms, analysts, and marketing companies who want the underlying data itself, not a hiring dashboard.
Sign up from the Partners page
Visit the Partners page and create a Data Partner account with your organization's name and contact email. No company/sector picker, since you're not an employer on the platform.
Generate an API key
From your Partner dashboard, generate a key. It's shown to you exactly once at creation. Copy it somewhere safe, since only a secure hash is stored afterward, not the key itself.
Subscribe to unlock live calls
A freshly generated key exists but won't return data until your plan is active. Subscribe from your Partner dashboard, then your key is live.
Call the read-only endpoints
Three endpoints are available: leaderboard, sector trends, and salary transparency, all read-only and limited to the same aggregate data already public on Market Trends. Never raw candidate names or individual application records. Each key is rate-limited to 500 requests per hour.
