The XING API enables you to publish job advertisements on XING Jobs and monitor their status and performance. This guide is designed to help you quickly get started with the XING API by outlining the key steps.
You can use the XING API to either:
-
Automatically publish job advertisements
or
- Simplify the application process on your website and allow candidates to apply using their own XING profiles. This feature is referred to as "Apply with XING."

We will review your request and set up your access.
[hint]
A separate access needs to be set up for each app. This means if you wish to use both functions (automatically posting ads and Apply with XING), you will need two access points.
[/hint]
Once we have created an app for you, you can view your access credentials (Consumer Key and Consumer Secret) in your Dev Account.
You will then need to authorize yourself in our system (https://dev.xing.com/docs/authentication) and proceed with the corresponding API calls.
Modifications to the app are possible after the fact – please contact us for that!
