Supported extensions for the parsing API are .pdf, .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .doc, .docx, .odt, .rtf, .odp, ppt, and .pptx .

While uploading a profile file you can use either synchronous or asynchronous parsing:

Asynchronous parsing:

As explained in this diagram, parsing ** will be done asynchronously** as soon as it is available. Then you will receive a webhook notification for success or failure of profile parsing.

Synchronous parsing:

For synchronous parsing , you will receive Profile and Parsing object in the response body.

sync_parsing is an optional request parameter , you can set its value to 1 to use sync parsing or set its value to 0 to use async parsing.

The default behavior uses asynchronous parsing.

So as to Use Sync Parsing, you need to:

• Create an API source (HTTP / Python / PHP ...),

• Enable sync_parsing for a given Source :

  • Your admin must activate sync_parsing in source's configuration,

  • Send a request to HrFlow support team in order to enable this feature for you.

• Set sync_parsing to 1 in your request

What's a profile_key and how to retrieve it ?

A profile ID is a unique identifier for a HrFlow Profile. This information is mandatory, profile_key guarantees the processing of your profile (parsing, revealing, embedding, etc).

How to get a profile_key

If you are using SyncParsing you will receive profile_key in the response's body and if you are using the AsyncParsing you have 3 possible ways that help you retrieve this information.

• Upload your document with a reference, thus you can get profile's parsing from this endpoint using source_key and reference,

• Set up a webhook that listens to all incoming notifications from HrFlow. As soon as your document is well parsed you will receive a success event including the profile id,

• Use HrFlow's Profile Search Engine, in order to find profile's details, then you can fetch for profile_key.

Example

from hrflow import Hrflow
​
client = Hrflow(api_secret="Your API Key", api_user="Your API user email")
​
with open('/path/to/file.pdf','rb') as file:
    profile_file = file.read()
​
client.profile.parsing.add_file(source_key="source_key",
                        profile_file=profile_file,
                        profile_content_type='application/pdf',
                        reference='profile_reference',
                        tags=[{"name":"blacklist","value":True}],
                        metadatas=[{"name":"mail","value":"test@test.com"}],
                        created_at="2020-01-01T00:00:00",
                        sync_parsing=0,
                        sync_parsing_indexing=1,
                        webhook_parsing_sending=0)

import * as fs from 'fs';
import Hrflow from 'hrflow';
const client = new Hrflow({
    api_secret: 'Your API Key',
    api_user: 'Your API user email',
});
​
client.profile.parsing.addFile('source_key',
  fs.createReadStream('path to your file'), {
    sync_parsing: 1,
    created_at: '2016-01-01T00:00:00',

    profile_reference: 'profile_reference',
    labels:  [
