url = f"https://subdomain.sage.hr/api/recruitment/positions/{position_id}/applicants"
headers = {
    "X-Auth-Token": "your_auth_token"  # Replace with your actual auth token
}

# Make the GET request
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
applicants = response.json().get('data', [])

# Extract applicant IDs
applicant_ids = [applicant['id'] for applicant in applicants]

for applicant_id in applicant_ids:
    url = f"https://subdomain.sage.hr/api/recruitment/applicants/{applicant_id}"
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    data = response.json().get('data', {})
