Real-time Employee API

Supporting a new endpoint

Supporting a new endpoint to retrieve real-time Base Employee data. The Real-time Employee API enables faster, more efficient data retrieval.

Added endpoint

Request type
Endpoint

POST

https://api.coresignal.com/rtapi/v2/employee/scrape

Find all the information in Real-time Employee API topic.

Base Employee API

Deprecating an endpoint

The /v2/employee_base/map/ids endpoint is deprecated due to low usage and limited need for IDs mapping between Base Employee and Legacy Employee APIs.

Elasticsearch DSL schema update

The field structure of selected fields was modified, enabling exact matching in Elasticsearch DSL queries.

These structural changes allow users to run exact-match queries on the listed fields, adding more flexibility for building queries and enabling lighter queries with fewer multi-level batches.

Updated fields

The following fields were updated to support exact match search:

  • experience.title

  • full_name

  • first_name

  • last_name

  • experience.location

  • skills.skill

  • certifications.title

  • certifications.issuer
