Our new APIs make creating and displaying adverts even easier
What are APIs?
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) let systems share information and data with each other.
-
Recruitment API- our Recruitment API allows you to create adverts on Find an apprenticeship using your own systems
-
Display adverts API- our Display adverts API allows you to display adverts from Find an apprenticeship on your own websites
You will need someone with technical knowledge to connect your system with the APIs, for example a software developer.
