5. **Network and Firewall Configuration:** Ensure your network allows outbound connections to Scrini AI API endpoints. If setting up webhooks, ensure your server can receive inbound HTTP POST requests.
6. **Scrini AI API Documentation:** Always refer to the latest official Scrini AI API documentation for specific endpoint details, data schemas, and rate limits.

## Step-by-Step Scrini AI API Integration Guide

This section provides a structured approach to integrating with Scrini AI, covering core technical aspects from authentication to workflow automation.

### 1. API Authentication How Do I Secure My Requests?

Authentication is the first critical step for any API integration. Scrini AI primarily uses API Key authentication for programmatic access. Your API key should be sent in the `Authorization` header for every request.

#### Code Example: Authenticating an API Request (Python)

```
import requests

SCRINI_API_KEY = "YOUR_SCRINI_AI_API_KEY"
BASE_URL = "https://api.scrini.ai/v1"

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {SCRINI_API_KEY}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

def get_candidates():
    endpoint = f"{BASE_URL}/candidates"
    try:
        response = requests.get(endpoint, headers=headers)
        response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an exception for HTTP errors
        return response.json()
    except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as err:
        print(f"HTTP error occurred: {err}")
    except Exception as err:
        print(f"An error occurred: {err}")
    return None

candidates_data = get_candidates()
if candidates_data:
    print("Successfully retrieved candidates:", candidates_data)
```

#### CLI Example: Authenticating with cURL

```
curl -X GET \
  https://api.scrini.ai/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SCRINI_AI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
```

### 2. Understanding Scrini AI API Endpoints and Data Schemas

Scrini AI provides a well-defined set of RESTful API endpoints for managing various hiring entities like candidates, jobs, applications, and workflows. Each endpoint adheres to a specific data schema, typically in JSON format.

#### Common Data Schemas

Data schemas define the structure and data types for objects exchanged with the API. For instance, a `Candidate` object might include fields like `id`, `name`, `email`, `status`, and `skills`. Always validate your payload against the expected schema to prevent `400 Bad Request` errors.

#### Code Example: Creating a New Job Requisition (Python)

```
def create_job_requisition(job_data):
    endpoint = f"{BASE_URL}/jobs"
    try:
        response = requests.post(endpoint, headers=headers, json=job_data)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()
    except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as err:
        print(f"HTTP error occurred: {err}")
        print(f"Response: {response.text}")
    except Exception as err:
        print(f"An error occurred: {err}")
    return None

new_job = {
    "title": "Senior AI/ML Engineer",
    "description": "Develop cutting-edge AI models for our agentic hiring platform.",
    "department": "Engineering",
    "location": "Remote",
    "status": "Open"
}

created_job = create_job_requisition(new_job)
if created_job:
    print("Successfully created job:", created_job)
```

### 3. Implementing Webhooks for Real-time Notifications

Webhooks are crucial for building reactive and event-driven integrations. Instead of constantly polling the API, Scrini AI can push real-time notifications to your system when specific events occur (e.g., a candidate status change, a new application, or an agent completing a task).

#### Setting Up a Webhook

1. **Create a Webhook Endpoint:** Develop a public-facing HTTP POST endpoint on your server. This endpoint will receive JSON payloads from Scrini AI.
2. **Configure in Scrini AI:** In your Scrini AI settings (or via API), register your webhook URL and specify the events you want to subscribe to (e.g., `candidate.status_updated`, `job.created`).
3. **Verify Signatures:** For security, Scrini AI sends a signature with each webhook payload. Always verify this signature against your shared secret to ensure the request genuinely came from Scrini AI and hasn't been tampered with.

#### Code Example: Basic Webhook Listener (Python Flask)

```
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import hmac
import hashlib

app = Flask(__name__)
WEBHOOK_SECRET = "YOUR_SCRINI_AI_WEBHOOK_SECRET"

@app.route('/scrini-webhook', methods=['POST'])
def scrini_webhook():
    payload = request.data
    signature = request.headers.get('X-Scrini-Signature')

    if not signature:
        return jsonify({'message': 'Signature missing'}), 401

    # Verify the signature
    expected_signature = hmac.new(
        WEBHOOK_SECRET.encode('utf-8'),
        msg=payload,
        digestmod=hashlib.sha256
    ).hexdigest()

    if not hmac.compare_digest(expected_signature, signature):
        return jsonify({'message': 'Invalid signature'}), 403

    # Process the webhook event
    event_data = request.json
    print(f"Received Scrini AI Webhook: {event_data.get('event_type')}")
    # Implement your logic here, e.g., update ATS, trigger internal process

    return jsonify({'status': 'success'}), 200

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=5000, debug=True)
```

### 4. Custom Workflow Configuration via API

Scrini AI's true power lies in its agentic nature, allowing for dynamic, custom workflows. You can use the API to programmatically define, trigger, and manage these workflows, tailoring the hiring process to your unique needs, especially for demanding [Technical Hiring](https://scrini.ai/capabilities/technical-hiring) roles.

For example, after a candidate passes an initial technical screening in your ATS, you could use the Scrini AI API to trigger an [AI Video Interviews](https://scrini.ai/capabilities/ai-video-interviews) agent or a custom coding assessment using the `/workflows` endpoint.

## Troubleshooting Common Scrini AI Integration Issues

Integrations can present challenges. Here are common issues and their solutions to help developers maintain smooth operations.

1. **401 Unauthorized Errors:**
  - **Cause:** Incorrect or expired API key, missing `Authorization` header.
  - **Solution:** Double-check your `Bearer YOUR_SCRINI_AI_API_KEY` token. Regenerate the key if necessary. Ensure the header format is correct.
2. **403 Forbidden Errors:**
  - **Cause:** Insufficient permissions for the API key to access the requested resource or perform the action.
  - **Solution:** Verify that the API key's associated user has the necessary roles and permissions within Scrini AI. Contact support if you suspect a permission misconfiguration.
3. **400 Bad Request / Data Validation Errors:**
  - **Cause:** Request body does not conform to the expected data schema (e.g., missing required fields, incorrect data types).
  - **Solution:** Consult the Scrini AI API documentation for the specific endpoint. Validate your JSON payload against the schema. Pay close attention to error messages, which often indicate the problematic field.
4. **429 Too Many Requests (Rate Limiting):**
  - **Cause:** Exceeding the allowed number of API calls within a given timeframe.
  - **Solution:** Implement exponential backoff and retry logic in your integration. Monitor `X-RateLimit-*` headers in API responses to understand current limits and your usage.
5. **Webhook Signature Verification Failures:**
  - **Cause:** Incorrect webhook secret, payload modification, or encoding issues.
  - **Solution:** Ensure your `WEBHOOK_SECRET` perfectly matches the secret configured in Scrini AI. Verify that the payload being signed is the raw, unparsed request body. Check character encoding (should be UTF-8).
6. **Network Connectivity Issues:**
  - **Cause:** Firewall restrictions, DNS problems, or temporary network outages preventing communication.
  - **Solution:** Check your server's outbound network access. For webhooks, ensure your endpoint is publicly accessible and configured correctly on your firewall.
