Huntr

Prerequisites​

Huntr's Organizational API is available to organizations using Huntr Advisor—Huntr's career placement platform for universities, bootcamps, career coaching firms, and workforce development programs. To use this connector, your organization must have an active Huntr organizational account with API access enabled.

Obtain Your Huntr Organization Access Token​

Nexla authenticates to the Huntr API using an Organization Access Token, which is a long-lived Bearer token associated with your Huntr organizational account. This token grants access to your organization's member, job, employer, and event data through the Huntr API.

To obtain your Organization Access Token:

  1. Sign in to your Huntr organizational account at huntr.co.

  2. Navigate to your organization's admin settings. The token generation option is located in your organization's API or developer settings section within the admin dashboard.

  3. Generate a new Access Token. Copy the token value immediately and store it securely — you will need to paste it into Nexla when creating your credential.

Important

Your Organization Access Token carries full read access to your organization's member and job data. Keep the token secure and do not share it in publicly accessible locations such as code repositories or client-side applications.

Additional details about the Huntr Organization API and access token management are available in the Huntr Organization API documentation.

Create a Huntr Credential​

  • To create a new Huntr credential, after selecting the data source type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

Credential Name & Description​

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

    Resource descriptions are recommended but are not required. They should be used to provide information about the resource purpose, data freshness, etc. that can help the owner and other users efficiently understand and utilize the resource.

API Token​

  1. Enter your Huntr Organization Access Token in the API Token field. This is the Bearer token obtained from your Huntr organizational admin dashboard, as described in the Prerequisites section above. The token authenticates Nexla with the Huntr API and authorizes access to your organization's data.

Save the Credential​

  1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay to save the configured credential.

  2. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source creation and can be selected for use with a new data source.
