Best method to query for new records, postman collection



Hi Support,

I am very new to using iCIMS, so I have some basic questions.

1. We are planning to get new records in the person, job, location and recruiting objects periodically during the day. Your SearchAPI looks like the best method to use. The idea is to query for new records based on a the datetime the record was created or updated.

I see that job has job.createddate and job.updateddate, and person has person.createddate and person.updateddate. I don't find similar date fields for location and recruiting.

Is this the best approach to take to get new or changed data? What can be done for the location and recruiting objects?

2. Do you happen to have a postman collection that shows how to authenticate using OAuth 2.0?

Thanks!

The best way to query for new records is to use a date and time based filter in your search criteria. For full details refer to this section of the Developer Site: https://developer.icims.com/REST-API/Object-Types-Commands/Search-API
