How Does Your Date Format Work?

RChilli’s date format works by allowing you to specify the format of dates that the Resume Parser API returns in its parsed output. You can control the date format dynamically per API request or set a default format in your account settings.

How Date Format Works in RChilli:

• Default Date Format:
  By default, RChilli uses the date format DD/MM/YYYY.
  
  
• Dynamic Date Format Setting:
  You can override this default by passing a dateformat setting in the apisetting node of your API request. For example, to receive dates in MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD formats, you specify it like this in your request JSON:
  
  
  {

  "filedata": "{{base64data}}",

  "filename": "{{filename}}",

  "userkey": "{{userkey}}",

  "version": "8.0.0",

  "subuserid": "{{subuserid}}",

  "apisetting": {

    "dateformat": "MM/DD/YYYY"

  }

}

• Effect:
  The parser will then return all date fields (such as employment start/end dates, education dates, certifications, etc.) in the specified format.
  
  
• Available Date Formats:
  Common formats include DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY, YYYY/MM/DD, but you can specify any standard date format supported by the parser.
  
  
• Response Reflects the Setting:
  The API response includes the apisetting node, confirming the applied date format.
  
  

This flexibility ensures that the parsed resume dates match your system or regional preferences, improving data consistency and integration ease.

If you want to know more about other dynamic API settings you can pass, such as phone number formats or enabling/disabling fields, you can refer to the Dynamic API Setting documentation on the RChilli Knowledge Center.

In summary:
RChilli lets you set the date format via the API dynamically using the dateformat key inside the apisetting object in your request. If you don’t specify, it uses DD/MM/YYYY by default.
