What are the Bullhorn APIs?

The Bullhorn APIs are programming interfaces that programmers can use to integrate the Bullhorn application with third-party applications and data. The APIs also provide mechanisms that enable you to customize the Bullhorn user interface with custom components and validations. The APIs were designed for use by either customers or partners that wish to integrate their products and services with the Bullhorn application.

To learn more about the Bullhorn APIs, you can view the documentation.

Accessing and Using the APIs

To access the Bullhorn web service APIs, you need the current username and password for a valid Bullhorn account and an API key.

If you are a Bullhorn administrator, you can generate your own API keys that will manage access to your database.

If you would like to become a Bullhorn Partner, please apply to join the Bullhorn Alliance Partner Program. The partner team will work with you to discuss integration opportunities and provide access to a partner API key. If you already a member of the Bullhorn Alliance Program, email the partner team for access to a partner API key.
