API Integration Guide

PathPilot's RESTful API provides comprehensive access to our career development platform, enabling seamless integration with your existing systems. Whether you're building a custom application or connecting PathPilot to your LMS, SIS, or HR platform, our API makes it easy.

This guide covers authentication, core endpoints, webhooks, and best practices for building robust integrations.

All API requests require authentication using OAuth 2.0. You'll need to register your application in the PathPilot developer portal to obtain client credentials. We support both client credentials flow for server-to-server communication and authorization code flow for user-facing applications.

All API traffic is encrypted using TLS 1.3, and we implement rate limiting to ensure platform stability.

The PathPilot API is organized around resources including users, assessments, career pathways, skills, and recommendations. Each resource supports standard CRUD operations where appropriate, with additional endpoints for specialized functionality.

Our API follows REST conventions with predictable URLs, standard HTTP methods, and meaningful status codes.

Webhooks allow your application to receive real-time notifications when events occur in PathPilot. Configure webhooks for events like assessment completion, pathway updates, or user milestones.

Webhook payloads include all relevant data, reducing the need for follow-up API calls.
