# The Boring Project

> Job application infrastructure. Two REST APIs: one returns structured job
> listings crawled from company career pages and job boards; the other completes
> and submits an employer's application form on an applicant tracking system and
> returns a confirmation. Built for staffing agencies, job portals and
> auto-apply products. No applicant tracking system publishes an official API
> for either job, which is why these exist.

## Core

- [Home](https://boringproject.ai/): What a job application API is, how the
  request-to-webhook flow works, which applicant tracking systems are covered.
- [Developer docs](https://boringproject.ai/developer-docs/introduction):
  Authentication, quickstart, endpoints, rate limiting, idempotency, errors.
- [Contact](https://boringproject.ai/contact): Volume pricing and pilots.

## Guides

- [Best auto apply tools for staffing agencies](https://boringproject.ai/best-auto-apply-tools-for-staffing-agencies):
  The three categories of auto apply tool (recruitment automation platforms,
  candidate-side extensions, job application APIs), which fits which agency,
  and the coverage, compliance and verification questions to ask a vendor.

## Salary data

- [Salary index](https://boringproject.ai/salaries): Average pay, ranges and
  percentiles by role, sourced per role and refreshed on a daily batch.

## Notes for agents

- Applications are submitted only with recorded candidate consent.
- CAPTCHAs and other anti-bot controls are not bypassed; a run pauses and
  returns `needs_input` so the candidate completes the challenge.
- Submissions are paced per employer.
