Partner tokens

Partner tokens authenticate your software’s backend to the SEEK API.
A partner token grants access to the data of any SEEK hirer you have a relationship with. Partner tokens must never be sent to a third-party system such as a hirer’s browser.

Requesting a partner token

Exchange your client credentials for a partner token using auth.seek.com.

  1. Call the partner authentication endpoint with your client credentials.
    Request
    Copy
    POST https://auth.seek.com/oauth/token HTTP/1.1
    Content-Type: application/json
    User-Agent: YourPartnerService/1.2.3
    

    {
      "audience": "https://graphql.seek.com",
      "client_id": "CLIENT_ID_HERE",
      "client_secret": "CLIENT_SECRET_HERE",
      "grant_type": "client_credentials"
    }
    The GraphQL Playground uses a separate https://test.graphql.seek.com audience.
  2. Receive the issued partner token.
    Response
    Copy
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Content-Type: application/json
    

    {
      "access_token": "PARTNER_TOKEN_HERE",
      "expires_in": 86400,
      "token_type": "Bearer"
    }
    Partner tokens should be cached for the number of seconds specified in the response’s expires_in. Caching reduces the load on SEEK’s systems and improves your software’s response time.
  3. Pass the partner token in the HTTP Authorization header when making requests to the GraphQL endpoint.

    Copy
    POST https://graphql.seek.com/graphql HTTP/1.1
    Authorization: Bearer PARTNER_TOKEN_HERE
