Public API & Developer Access
Build on ATS Mako. Generate a per-office API key, explore interactive docs, and download the OpenAPI spec to connect your own tools and workflows.
Your recruiting data shouldn't be stuck in one platform. Generate an API key and build on it.
Every office can generate its own API key from account settings, shown once and ready to copy. From there, explore interactive API documentation or download the OpenAPI spec as JSON or YAML to build custom integrations, internal tools, or reporting pipelines against your ATS Mako data.
Why recruiters care
- Connect ATS Mako to the other tools your team already relies on.
- No waiting on a vendor integration that doesn't exist yet — build the connection yourself.
- Interactive docs make it easy to see exactly what data is available before you write a line of code.
- One API key per office, scoped to that office's data.
Why HR leaders care
- Build custom reporting or data warehouse pipelines without asking ATS Mako to add a one-off integration.
- A standard OpenAPI spec means any engineering team can onboard quickly, in JSON or YAML.
- Per-office API keys keep access scoped and auditable across a multi-office account.
- Complements the 50+ built-in integrations for anything that isn't already covered.
From busywork to a hiring engine.
The old way
- Data is siloed inside the ATS with no way to build a custom connection.
- Every integration request means waiting on a vendor roadmap.
- No standard reference for what data is actually available.
With ATS Mako
- Generate a per-office API key directly from account settings.
- Explore interactive docs and download the OpenAPI spec to start building immediately.
- Build the exact integration or reporting pipeline your team needs.

Public API & Developer Access FAQ
How do I get an API key?
Generate one from your office's account settings — it's shown once, so copy it somewhere safe right away.
Is there documentation for the API?
Yes — interactive API documentation and a downloadable OpenAPI spec (JSON or YAML) are both available so your team can start building right away.
Is the API key scoped to my whole account or just one office?
Each API key is generated per office, keeping access scoped even in multi-office and franchise accounts.
Do I still need this if ATS Mako already has an integration I want?
No — check the 50+ built-in HRIS and payroll integrations first. The API is for anything custom that isn't already covered.
