Greenhouse IO

A Ruby interface to Greenhouse.io's API (requires Ruby 1.9.3 or greater).

Installation

Add the gem to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'greenhouse_io'

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install

API Documentation

Documentation for the Harvest and Job Board web APIs can be found at developers.greenhouse.io.

Configuration

You can assign default configuration values when using this gem.
Here is an example config/initializers/greenhouse_io.rb file used in a Rails application:

GreenhouseIo.configure do |config|
	config.symbolize_keys = true # set response keys as strings or symbols, default is false
	config.organization = 'General Assembly'
	config.api_token = ENV['GREENHOUSE_API_TOKEN']
end

Usage

Greenhouse's two APIs, Harvest and Job Board, can now be accessed through the gem. The GreenhouseIo::JobBoard is nearly identical to the old GreenhouseIo::API class. GreenhouseIo::Client connects to the new Harvest API.

GreenhouseIo::JobBoard

Creating an instance of the JobBoard client:

gh = GreenhouseIo::JobBoard.new("api_token", organization: "your_organization")

If you've configured the gem with a default organization and api_token, then you can just instantiate the class.

gh = GreenhouseIo::JobBoard.new

api_token is only required for #apply_to_job and organization is also optional during initialization if an organization is passed in during method requests.

Fetching Office Data

gh.offices
gh.offices(organization: 'different_organization')
# returns a hash containing all of the organization's department and jobs grouped by office

gh.office(id)
gh.office(id, organization: 'different_organization')
# returns a hash containing the departments and jobs of a specific office

Fetching Department Data

gh.departments
gh.departments(organization: 'different_organizaton')

gh.department(id)
gh.department(id, organization: 'different_organization')

Fetching Job Data

gh.jobs
gh.jobs(content: 'true')
# includes the job description in the response
gh.jobs(organization: 'different_organization')

gh.job(id)
gh.job(id, questions: true)
# returns the specified job and the array of questions on the application
gh.job(id, organization: 'different_organization')

Submitting a Job Application

This is the only API method that requires an API token from Greenhouse

gh.apply_to_job(form_parameter_hash)

# form_parameter_hash should match the questions array of a given job opening
# there should be a hidden input with name id in your form that
# has the value of the job ID on Greenhouse.io

GreenhouseIo::Client

Creating an instance of the API client:

gh_client = GreenhouseIo::Client.new("api_token")

If you've configured the gem with a default api_token, then you can just instantiate the class.

gh_client = GreenhouseIo::Client.new

Listing candidates

gh_client.candidates

Creating a candidate note

Use this method to attach a new note to a candidate.

candidate_id = 4567
author_id = 123 # ID of the user who wrote this note
note = {
  :user_id => 123,
  :message => "This candidate has very strong opinions about Node.JS.",
  :visibility => "public"
}

gh_client.create_candidate_note(candidate_id, note, author_id)

Throttling

Rate limit and rate limit remaining are available after making an API request with an API client:

gh_client.rate_limit # => 20
gh_client.rate_limit_remaining  # => 20

Pagination

All GreenhouseIo::Client API methods accept :page and :per_page options to get specific results of a paginated response from Greenhouse.

gh_client.offices(id, page: 1, per_page: 2)

You can determine the last page and next page by looking at the link header from the last response:

gh_client.link

# => '<https://harvest.greenhouse.io/v1/candidates?page=2&per_page=100>; rel="next",<https://harvest.greenhouse.io/v1/candidates?page=142&per_page=100>; rel="last"'

You'll need to manually parse the next and last links to tell what the next or final page number will be.
