Profile Parsing API: Extending Support to Octet-Stream Media Formats
We are pleased to announce that our Profile Parsing API now supports octet-stream files.
😍 Why it’s a big deal for HrFlow.ai users?
The term octet-stream refers to a generic binary file format used on the internet— case of most of online-generated resumes. It's represented by the MIME type application/octet-stream. This MIME type is used as a default or fallback option when the actual file type of the data cannot be accurately determined by the server or application sending the data.
This situation used to lead to a failure in Profile Parsing, as our system couldn’t properly recognize or process the file without specific format information.
We've updated our Profile Parsing API to handle documents in the octet-stream media format, which often lack proper file extensions. This enhancement ensures seamless processing of many online-generated documents.
