Submit an application

POST
/api/v1/external/job-postings/{id}/applications
curl --request POST \
--url https://app.dover.com/api/v1/external/job-postings/example/applications \
--header 'Authorization: <Authorization>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "first_name": "example", "last_name": "example", "email": "[email protected]", "linkedin_url": "example", "phone_number": "example", "additional_info": "example", "application_questions": {}, "opted_in_to_talent_network": true }'

Create an inbound application on this posting (name, email, resume, and answers from GET job-postings/{id}). Applications are attributed to your careers page, the same as Dover’s hosted apply form. Multipart for a resume file; JSON is fine without one. Authenticate from your backend with Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>. Do not put the key in browser JavaScript.
