ATS JavaScript Plugin

GraphQL schema changes

• Added the 2026-08-11 GraphQL schema change log.
• Added the 2026-08-03 GraphQL schema change log.

Release notes: July 31, 2026

Indeed Apply

• Added the multifield screener question type. It lets job seekers submit multiple structured entries (for example, multiple work experiences) in one question, with configurable entry limits and supported sub-field types.
• Documented validationRuleKey, which validates strings in supported screener questions (including names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and URLs), with rule identifiers and examples.
• Expanded date screener-question guidance with locale-specific date formats, supported tokens, and common misconfigurations to avoid.
• Clarified that sponsored: false in application data analytics means the job is organic or the click came from outside Indeed.

Job Sync API

• The Job Sync API is now available to direct employers.
• Clarified that job descriptions default to plain text. Rich formatting requires HTML through descriptionFormatting. See job description formatting.
• Updated authentication guidance for getting job posting status by ID by clarifying token type by integration model, requiring an authorization-code endpoint, recommending offline_access for 3-legged OAuth, explaining user-linked FORBIDDEN cases, and documenting when tokens cannot be refreshed.

GraphQL schema changes

• Added the 2026-07-27 GraphQL schema change log.
• Added the 2026-07-16 GraphQL schema change log.

Release notes: July 15, 2026

Job Update API

• Published the Job Update API seat management guide in English and Japanese. It explains how to add, update, and expire job seats with the addSeats, updateSeats, and clearSeats mutations, including authentication, request and response examples, rate limits, and troubleshooting.
• Added an FAQ on how to confirm whether a job uses Indeed Apply. Use the findEmployerJobsPartner query and check whether EmployerJob.seatConnections.jobPost.isIndeedApplyActive returns true.

GraphQL schema changes

• Added the 2026-07-13 GraphQL schema change log.
• Added the 2026-07-10 GraphQL schema change log.
• Added the 2026-07-06 GraphQL schema change log.

Release notes: June 30, 2026

Authentication

• Documented the new iss parameter, the authorization server's issuer ID returned in OAuth responses, and refreshed the redirect-URL examples in the OAuth reference.

Indeed Apply

• Updated the finishAppUrl parameter access policy. Starting August 1, 2026, eligibility for new users is based on regional annual-spend thresholds for searchable and sponsored jobs rather than an advanced screening purchase. Current users keep their existing setup.
• Clarified that the domain used in the finishAppUrl must be added to Indeed's allowlist to bypass the job seeker redirect pop-up.

GraphQL schema changes

• Added the 2026-06-29 GraphQL schema change log.
• Added the 2026-06-26 GraphQL schema change log.
• Added the 2026-06-16 GraphQL schema change log.

Release notes: June 15, 2026

Job Sync API

• Moved the XML feed reference to a new top-level Job Sync XML feed section, alongside the Job Sync API as a job indexing method. Existing Indeed Apply XML feed links redirect to the new location.
• Added salary guidance to the XML feed reference: Indeed might not display salary or other pay data unless it uses the correct numerical format.

Candidate Sync APIs

• Clarified in the Send Candidates API best practices that each update replaces the previous version, so you must send the full application every time.
• Consolidated the Candidate Sync API guides under top-level routes and restructured the Employer Registration API integration guide into a four-step workflow.

Disposition Sync API

• Added a note to the Disposition Sync API for Japan partners that using a non-production indeedApplyId in test dispositions can cause an error, and localized the applicant status reference table in Japanese.

Authentication

• Updated the Partner Console and OAuth credential guidance to separate steps for partners in Japan and outside Japan, clarifying how to get client_id and client_secret in each market.

Integration basics

• Added a standard error codes reference to GraphQL clients best practices, including common errors such as BAD_USER_INPUT, FORBIDDEN, and UNAUTHENTICATED.

GraphQL schema changes

• Added the 2026-06-10 GraphQL schema change log.

Release notes: May 31, 2026

Job Sync API

• Added Japan-specific guidance to the Job Sync API job types reference on selecting the job type SUID and listing applicable benefits.
• Fixed the SourcedJobPostingBodyInput description link to Job description formatting. Clarified the 65,000-byte maximum and HTML requirement.

Indeed Apply

• Restructured the Indeed Apply authentication instructions into "Japan only" and "Outside of Japan" sections.
• Removed Japan-specific restrictions on the completeApplicationSourceAttribution and sponsored fields from the Application data reference.
• Fixed the location field name to lowercase postalcode in the Application data reference to match the actual payload.
