Hi,

I am trying to access candidate attachments (resumes) using the CATSone API, but I keep receiving a "401 Unauthorized" error when calling the endpoint:

GET https://api.catsone.com/v3/candidates/{candidate_id}/attachments

I have checked the following:
- My API key is correct and works for other API requests.
- I tried both "Bearer {API_KEY}" and "Token {API_KEY}" authorization formats.
- I ensured the API key has permissions to access attachments.

Can you confirm:
1. If I am using the correct authorization method?
2. Whether my API key has the right permissions for fetching candidate attachments?
3. If there's an IP restriction or additional security setting blocking access?

I appreciate your help!

Best,
Vida Tayebati

My goal is to integrate Zapier with CATSone, to add  resume summaries with AI, using candidates attachment resume API, and add that summary as a custom field "summary" on every new candidate.

1- when a new candidate updates, Zapier will be triggered
2- it will run my python code, calling the catsone API to access the download URL 
3- Will extract text from resume and run an AI from Zapier to create a summary
4-add that summary as a custom field to each candidate
