You can find all the other use cases we have covered for the Ashby API along with a comprehensive deep dive on its various aspects like authentication, rate limits etc [in our in-depth Ashby API end point directory.](/blog/ashby-api-directory-jx2vsb/) List All Candidates from Ashby API ---------------------------------- The Ashby API provides a robust method to list all candidates within an organization using the `candidate.list` endpoint. This endpoint supports pagination and incremental synchronization, allowing efficient data retrieval. Below is a step-by-step guide to using this API with Python code snippets. ### API Endpoint **Endpoint:** `https://api.ashbyhq.com/candidate.list` **HTTP Method:** POST ### Request Body The request body should be a JSON object. You can specify parameters such as `limit`, `cursor`, and `syncToken` to control pagination and synchronization. ``` { "limit": 25, "cursor": "your-cursor-value", "syncToken": "your-sync-token" } ``` ### Python Code Snippet Below is a Python code snippet demonstrating how to list all candidates using the Ashby API: ``` import requests url = "https://api.ashbyhq.com/candidate.list" headers = { "Accept": "application/json", "Content-Type": "application/json" } data = { "limit": 25 } response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data) if response.status_code == 200: result = response.json() print(result) while result.get("moreDataAvailable"): data["cursor"] = result.get("nextCursor") response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data) result = response.json() print(result) else: print("Error:", response.status_code, response.text) ``` ### Response The response will include a list of candidates and pagination information. If `moreDataAvailable` is `true`, use `nextCursor` to fetch the next page. ``` { "success": true, "results": [ // Array of candidate objects ], "moreDataAvailable": true, "nextCursor": "next-cursor-value", "syncToken": "new-sync-token-value" } ``` ‍ If you are looking to learn how to get details on an individual candidate using Ashby API, read our developer guide here : [Get candidate data using Ashby API (Python Example)](/blog/developer-guide-to-get-candidate-data-using-ashby-api-python-example/) Knit for Ashby API Integration ------------------------------ For quick and seamless access to [Ashby](/integration/ashby-ats/) API, Knit API offers a convenient Unified API solution.
