What the Firefish API is for and how to access it
The Firefish Application Programming Interface (API) provides access to Candidate, Contact, Company, Jobs, Placement/Offer Details and Actions made within the Firefish system (Including Extensions and Terminations), and allows filtering by Candidate, Contact, Company, Date and Team.
The Firefish API helps us integrate with other platforms you might use (such as timesheet, HR or accounting systems) without the need for CSV or Excel exports.
The API also currently allows 2-way access to Candidate, Company and Contact records, allowing you to create and update these records directly in your database using an external platform.
