Hello,

I’m trying to set up the 3 step process to create a candidate and upload a resume. I read the API and attempted this request in POSTMAN

NOTE: I created a resume for this testing purpose and by applying to a job on our website so that you can try parsing the URL file yourself if needed.

curl --location 'https://api.catsone.com/v3/attachments/parse' \
--header 'content-type: application/octet-stream' \
--header 'Authorization: Token XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' \
--data-raw '--data-binary @https://webflow.com/files/6065014dea4e17bce1947885/formUploads/21adac56-9843-4900-9e34-5d5ff3c0ee98.docx'

Below is the 200 response body I'm getting. As you can see, no data is parsed to carry into the "create a candidate" request.

{
    "first_name": "",
    "middle_name": "",
    "last_name": "",
    "title": "",
    "emails": {
        "primary": ""
    },
    "address": {
        "street": "",
        "city": "",
        "state": "",
        "postal_code": ""
    },
    "country_code": null,
    "social_media_urls": [],
    "phones": {
        "home": "",
        "cell": "",
        "work": ""
    },
    "current_employer": "",
    "source": ""
}

After investigating I found the filename in the query is now required but not documented. For example:

curl -X POST --location 'https://api.catsone.com/v3/attachments/parse?filename=resume.docx' \

--header 'content-type: application/octet-stream' \
--header 'Authorization: Token XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' \

--data-binary @21adac56-9843-4900-9e34-5d5ff3c0ee98.docx
{"first_name":"RYAN", ..... }
