If you are a new customer of Affinda, it is likely that you will want to search across candidates that you already have on file within your system. Affinda's API allows you to easily add these candidates to the Affinda platform, without having to re-parse the candidate's resumes.
1. Create a new resume (POST /resumes)
Customers should use the same API endpoint used for uploading resumes to add an existing candidate record to the Affinda platform. However, instead of uploading a PDF, .docx or URL (or another file type), customers should create a resume with 'data'.
This requires that the data in your system be mapped to a JSON-encoded string of the ResumeData object.
Resumes added using this data method do not use any parsing credits.
2. Index resume (POST /index/{name}/documents)
Once a candidate record has been created within Affinda's system, customers can follow the normal steps to add the candidate to an index for searching using the unique identifier for that record.
