What is a Unified ATS API?

ATS platforms each store data differently, with their own authentication and schemas. A Unified ATS API standardizes these into one interface — operations like Current Stage, Application Info, Add Attachment work the same way no matter which platform is on the other end, while Knit manages translation, rate limiting, retries, and sync management underneath.

Unified ATS API vs. building it yourself

Building it yourself

  • A separate integration for every ATS platform you support
  • Different schema, auth, and pagination per platform
  • You build and maintain OAuth for each platform
  • Poll each API on your own schedule
  • Engineering effort grows with every new platform
  • Weeks to months per platform, per engineer

With Knit

  • One Unified ATS API covers every platform you support
  • One normalized schema across every platform
  • Embedded Auth handles OAuth, storage, and refresh for you
  • Extensive webhook support for real-time sync
  • Describe a missing app to the Integrations Agent and get it built instantly
  • Live in days, not months

FAQ

Common questions about the Unified ATS API

Which ATS systems does Knit support?

40 ATS platforms today — including ADP Workforce Now ATS, Ashby ATS, BambooHR ATS and more. Missing one you need? Knit's AI-assisted connector-build process typically adds a new one within days.

Does the Unified ATS API support both reading and writing data?

Yes. It supports both reads and writes, so you can build bi-directional sync use cases — not just pull ATS data, but push updates back to the source app.

How does authentication work across ATS platforms?

Knit provides an embedded Auth component (white-labeling available on higher tiers) that handles OAuth, credential storage, and refresh — your customers authorize once through Knit, and you never touch raw credentials.

What is the timeline for adding a missing ATS connector?

Typically days, not months — the same AI-based connector-build tooling that lets us maintain the 40 ATS connectors already live.

Do you store ATS data or customer PII?

No. Knit acts as a stateless passthrough — data is processed on our application server and sent directly to your webhooks, without being stored on Knit's servers.

What is the pricing model, and is there a free trial?

You choose the model that fits your business — pricing based on integrated accounts, or based on API call volume. Every plan includes a 30-day free trial before billing starts.
