Ways to Use the Getro API : Getro Learning Center

The Getro API provides powerful read-only access to your job board and contact database, enabling you to integrate job and company information into custom-built pages, widgets, and applications. This guide covers what you can do with the API, important considerations, and whether it's the right solution for your organization.

What is the Getro API?

The Getro API is a read-only interface that gives you access to data from your job board and contact database. With the API, you can:

Build custom job board pages and widgets
Create custom applications that display role or company information
Integrate Getro data with third-party tools and systems

Getting Started with the API

To begin using the Getro API, you'll need to:

Review the complete API documentation at developers.getro.com
Access your API key by following this guide
Connect with support team at help@getro.com if you need assistance with implementation

Recommended Use Cases

The Getro API is ideal for supplemental use cases where you want to highlight roles or company information in custom applications without building a full job board replacement. Common use cases include:

Displaying current job openings on your company website
Creating widgets that showcase featured roles
Building custom dashboards for internal use
Integrating job data with Zapier workflows

Important Considerations Before Using the API

If you decide to build a custom job board using the Getro API, it's critical to understand that you will lose access to important Getro-hosted analytics and insights. Specifically, you will no longer have access to:

Job board analytics and performance metrics (all views, clicks, applications for your job board, job openings, and company profile metrics)
Your talent network visibility
Application insights
Automatic talent network hire tracking

Build an Analytics Dashboard

If you build a custom job board using the API, we strongly recommend implementing your own analytics dashboard to track engagement metrics. This will help you monitor the performance of your custom solution and understand candidate behavior on your custom platform.

Is the API Right for Your Organization?

The Getro API is a good fit if your organization:

Has a tech-savvy team with resources to build and maintain a custom solution
Is comfortable managing your own analytics and engagement tracking
Wants to create a tailored experience that aligns with your specific vision

If You Want to Keep Using Getro's Hosted Solution

If you want to maintain access to job board analytics, your talent network, automated hiring insights, and all the other benefits of Getro's hosted platform, you can still customize the appearance of your job board to match your site. Consider our Advanced Design add-on, which allows you to customize the header and footer of your job board while keeping all the analytics and insights that come with Getro's platform.
