Prerequisites

Before creating an ATS Anywhere credential in Nexla, you need to obtain your username (or personal API key) and password from your ATS Anywhere account. These credentials authenticate Nexla with the ATS Anywhere API and should be kept secure.

Obtain ATS Anywhere API Credentials

1. Sign in to your ATS Anywhere account.

2. Navigate to Settings or Account Settings in your ATS Anywhere account to access the settings page.

3. Locate the API or Developer section in the settings menu. This section contains your API credentials and access tokens.

4. Copy your Username or Personal API Key. This can be either your account username or a personal API key that you've generated. The username or API key is used as the username for basic authentication.

5. Copy your Password. This is your account password or the password associated with your personal API key. The password is used as the password for basic authentication.

   Your username (or personal API key) and password are required for all ATS Anywhere API operations. Keep these credentials secure and do not share them publicly or commit them to version control systems. For detailed information about ATS Anywhere API authentication, see the ATS Anywhere API documentation.

Create a credential in Nexla

1. After selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

New Credential Overlay – ATS Anywhere

2. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

3. Enter your ATS Anywhere username or personal API key in the Username Or API Key field. This should be either your account username or a personal API key obtained from your ATS Anywhere account settings. The username or API key is used as the username for basic authentication.

4. Enter your ATS Anywhere password in the Password field. This password authenticates Nexla with the ATS Anywhere API and should match the password associated with your username or personal API key. The password is used as the password for basic authentication.

   The username (or personal API key) and password provide full access to your ATS Anywhere account data through the API. Keep these credentials secure and do not share them publicly or commit them to version control systems. ATS Anywhere uses basic authentication with the username and password, which allows Nexla to make authenticated requests to your account.

5. Click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay to save the configured credential. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation.

Use as a data source

To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, and click the New Data Flow button. Select the ATS Anywhere connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to the ATS Anywhere instance, and click Next; or, create a new ATS Anywhere credential for use in this flow.

Endpoint templates

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure data sources to ingest data from common ATS Anywhere endpoints. Select the endpoint from which this source will fetch data from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Available endpoint templates are listed in the expandable boxes below.

Resource Type

This endpoint retrieves a list of all records of a selected resource type from your ATS Anywhere account. Use this endpoint when you need to access user roles, sites, jobs, reviews, notes, locations, or other resource types from your ATS Anywhere account.

• Select the resource type you want to retrieve from the Resource Type dropdown menu. Available options include User Roles, Sites, Reviews, Notes, Locations, Jobs, Indeed Forbidden Terms, I-9 Forms, and other resource types. You can also add custom resource types if needed. The default value is "user_roles".
• Enter the API version you want to use in the API Version field. The default value is "v1". The API version determines which features and endpoints are available and is used in the endpoint URL path.
• The endpoint uses GET requests to https://api.applicant-tracking.com/api/{'{version}'}/{'{resource_type}'} where {version} is the API version and {resource_type} is the selected resource type. The endpoint uses incrementing page-based pagination with page and per_page query parameters, automatically fetching additional pages as needed. By default, the endpoint retrieves records starting from page 1.
• The endpoint will return all records of the selected resource type, organized into pages for efficient data retrieval. The response data is extracted from an array named after the resource type in the API response (e.g., $.user_roles[*] for user roles), with each record processed individually.

This endpoint supports pagination through page and per_page query parameters. Nexla automatically handles pagination to retrieve all available records by incrementing the page number until no more data is returned. The endpoint uses incrementing page-based pagination (iteration.type: paging.incrementing), starting from page 1. Requests are processed sequentially (request.parallelism.count: 1). The response data path is dynamically constructed based on the selected resource type (e.g., $.user_roles[*] for user_roles, $.sites[*] for sites). The resource type determines which data will be retrieved from your ATS Anywhere account, and you can add custom resource types if needed. For detailed information about available resource types, retrieving records, and API usage, see the ATS Anywhere API documentation.

Resource Type by Company ID

This endpoint retrieves a list of selected resource types associated with a specific company from your ATS Anywhere account. Use this endpoint when you need to access company-specific resources such as sites, assessment provider subscriptions, integration subscriptions, or other company-related data.

• Enter the Company ID in the Company ID field. Company IDs uniquely identify companies within your ATS Anywhere account. You can find Company IDs in your ATS Anywhere account settings or by using other endpoints to retrieve company information.
• Enter the API version you want to use in the API Version field. The default value is "v1". The API version determines which features and endpoints are available and is used in the endpoint URL path.
• Select the resource type you want to retrieve from the Resource Type dropdown menu. Available options include Sites, Assessment Provider Subscriptions, Integration Subscriptions, Available Applicant Statuses, Settings, Everify Requests, I-9 Forms, Orders, and other company-specific resource types. You can also add custom resource types if needed. The default value is "sites".
• The endpoint uses GET requests to https://api.applicant-tracking.com/api/{'{version}'}/companies/{'{company_id}'}/{'{resource_type}'} where {version} is the API version, {company_id} is the Company ID, and {resource_type} is the selected resource type. The endpoint uses incrementing page-based pagination with page and per_page query parameters, automatically fetching additional pages as needed. By default, the endpoint retrieves records starting from page 1.
• The endpoint will return all records of the selected resource type for the specified company. The response data is extracted from an array named after the resource type in the API response (e.g., $.sites[*] for sites), with each record processed individually.

Company IDs can be obtained from your ATS Anywhere account settings or by using other endpoints to retrieve company information. This endpoint supports pagination through page and per_page query parameters. Nexla automatically handles pagination to retrieve all available records by incrementing the page number until no more data is returned. The endpoint uses incrementing page-based pagination (iteration.type: paging.incrementing), starting from page 1. The response data path is dynamically constructed based on the selected resource type (e.g., $.sites[*] for sites). Note that there is a space in the JSON path format ($. ${'{resource_type}'}[*]), which may require attention when configuring Path to Data manually. For detailed information about retrieving company-specific resources, available resource types, and API usage, see the ATS Anywhere API documentation.

Once the selected endpoint template has been configured, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu to retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched. Sample data will be displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right, allowing you to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.

Manual configuration

ATS Anywhere data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid ATS Anywhere API endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates, chained API calls, or custom request parameters. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, endpoint URL, date/time and lookup macros, path to data, metadata, and request headers.

ATS Anywhere API endpoints typically follow the pattern https://api.applicant-tracking.com/api/{'{version}'}/{'{resource_type}'} for listing resources or https://api.applicant-tracking.com/api/{'{version}'}/companies/{'{company_id}'}/{'{resource_type}'} for company-specific resources. For detailed information about ATS Anywhere API endpoints, see the ATS Anywhere API documentation.

Once all of the relevant settings have been configured, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new ATS Anywhere data source. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.

Use as a destination

Click the + icon on the Nexset that will be sent to the ATS Anywhere destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the ATS Anywhere connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to the ATS Anywhere organization, and click Next; or, create a new ATS Anywhere credential for use in this flow.

Endpoint templates

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure destinations to send data to common ATS Anywhere endpoints. Select the endpoint to which data will be sent from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Then, click on the template in the list below to expand it, and follow the instructions to configure additional endpoint settings.

Resource Type

This endpoint creates a new resource of the selected type in your ATS Anywhere account. Use this endpoint when you need to create new resources such as jobs, candidates, applications, or other resource types from your Nexset data.

• Select the resource type you want to create from the Resource Type dropdown menu. Available options include various resource types supported by the ATS Anywhere API such as jobs, candidates, applications, and other resource types. You can also add custom resource types if needed.
• Enter the API version you want to use in the API Version field. The default value is "v1". The API version determines which features and endpoints are available and is used in the endpoint URL path.
• The endpoint uses POST requests to https://api.applicant-tracking.com/api/{'{version}'}/{'{resource_type}'} where {version} is the API version and {resource_type} is the selected resource type. The endpoint will send the Nexset data as JSON in the request body (Content-Type: application/json) to create resources.
• Ensure your Nexset contains all required fields for resource creation according to the ATS Anywhere API specification for the selected resource type. The request body format follows the ATS Anywhere API specification, and each record in the Nexset will be sent as a separate API request to create a new resource in your ATS Anywhere account.
• Batch mode is disabled by default, meaning each record is sent individually. The endpoint does not create a data source automatically.

The request body must contain valid JSON with all required fields for resource creation according to the ATS Anywhere API specification. The resource type determines which endpoint will be used and what data structure is expected. For detailed information about required fields and data formats for different resource types, see the ATS Anywhere API documentation.

Manual configuration

ATS Anywhere destinations can also be manually configured to send data to any valid ATS Anywhere API endpoint. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, data format, endpoint URL, request headers, attribute exclusions, record batching, and response webhooks.

ATS Anywhere API endpoints typically follow the pattern https://api.applicant-tracking.com/api/{'{version}'}/{'{resource_type}'} and typically expect JSON format for request bodies. For update/upsert operations, include the ID of the object to be updated at the end of the URL.

Save & activate

Once all endpoint settings have been configured, click the Done button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the destination. To send the data to the configured ATS Anywhere endpoint, open the destination resource menu, and select Activate.

The Nexset data will not be sent to the ATS Anywhere endpoint until the destination is activated. Destinations can be activated immediately or at a later time, providing full control over data movement.
