API Keys & Webhooks

Create REST API keys and outgoing webhooks so other systems can read or update HiringCenter data.

Path: Settings → API / Webhooks

Admin and Owner manage keys. View Only can read this tab.

For request formats, authentication, and event payloads, see the API Overview, API Quickstart, API Reference, and Webhooks sections of this docs site.

Create an API key

1. Open Settings → API / Webhooks.
2. Click Add API Key.
3. Copy the secret immediately. HiringCenter stores a hash, not the full secret.
4. Use the key as Authorization: Bearer on https://api.hiringcenterpro.com v2 routes.

Keys are account-scoped. Do not put a key in a public frontend bundle.

Rotate or retire a key

1. Create a new key.
2. Update every integration to the new key.
3. Deactivate (or later delete) the old key.

Prefer replacing a key before you delete a deprecated one so integrations do not go dark.

Outgoing webhooks

Configure webhooks for prospect, task, and related events so an external system receives updates in real time.

1. Add a webhook URL on this tab.
2. Verify signatures on your receiver. See Verifying Webhooks on this docs site.
3. Treat the signing secret like an API key.

What is not here

• Billing is profile menu → Billing.
• Incoming provider webhooks (Twilio, Resend, and similar) are configured by HiringCenter, not on this tab.
