Phase 5: Event delivery

This content has been archived. It may contain guidance that is no longer relevant.

The SEEK API’s event streams and webhook subscriptions replace polling for advertisements in the Job Posting API. This enables your software to be notified of important events in a job ad’s lifecycle:

A PositionProfilePosted event is emitted when a job ad goes live. In response you can request fields from the position profile such as the URL of the job ad.
A PositionProfileClosed event is emitted when a job ad is closed. The Job Posting API refers to this as “expiry”.

For more information on setting up webhooks, see the webhooks documentation.
