Forte's job-search AI, via API.

The same models that power the Forte iOS app — resume parsing, job-fit scoring, multi-ATS search, cover letters — exposed as a paid, metered REST API. Pay-as-you-go credits, no minimums, no monthly contracts.

Pay per call, in credits.

1 credit ≈ $0.01. Failed requests (4xx / 5xx) don't burn credits.

Endpoint What it returns Credits
POST /api/v1/jobs/by-url Structured job from a posting URL 5
POST /api/v1/parse-resume Structured profile from a PDF resume 5
POST /api/v1/match 0–100 fit score + rationale for (resume, job) 10
POST /api/v1/resume/build LaTeX-rendered PDF from structured data 10
POST /api/v1/cover-letter Tailored cover letter for (resume, job) 15

getting started

Call your first endpoint in a minute.

  1. Sign in with your Forte email + password.
  2. Buy a Starter pack ($10 / 1,000 credits) on Billing.
  3. Mint an API token on the Tokens page — you'll see the plaintext once.
  4. Curl any endpoint:
curl -X POST https://api.forte.help/api/v1/jobs/by-url \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer forte_sk_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com/your-job-posting"}'

limits + fairness

The fine print.

  • Rate limit: 60 requests / minute and 1,000 / hour per token. Bumps available on request.
  • Failed requests: 4xx and 5xx responses don't burn credits — they log to your usage with a 0 charge so leaked-token bursts are visible to both of us.
  • Low-balance alert: you'll get an email at 30 credits remaining so you can top up before requests start failing with 402.
  • Token security: we store SHA-256 hashes only — the plaintext is shown once at creation and can't be recovered. Revoke any token from the dashboard.
  • Data: we don't retain your request payloads after the response is sent. Failed requests log endpoint + status + timestamp, never the body.
