.NET 4.0 API Example

Below is a C# example of using your ApplicantStack data in a .Net Environment. There is a class that defines the layout of the return structure from ApplicantStack that also provides methods to fill the data (ApplicantStackJobData.cs) and 2 web form pages to present all of your Open listings (JobListing.aspx) and to show you details of each individual listing(JobDefinition.aspx – Please note that this example shows only what we deemed relevant as there are numerous bits of information in the JobInformation class). Simply copy the code below and change the baseURI to your applicant stack website address, Token and Publisher strings in the ApplicantStackJobData class with those relevant to your company. The Token can be found by logging into your ApplicantStack account and go into your company setting. There you will find a section named API Settings. Copy the unique value to the right of the label “API Access Token:” and remove any leading or trailing spaces.
