What is the process for switching from the Salesforce marketplace app to RChilli APIs?

If you are currently using RChilli through the Salesforce Marketplace App and wish to transition to using RChilli APIs directly, please follow the process outlined below.

Important Pre-Switch Notes

• If you have an active Salesforce plan and are using RChilli within Salesforce, note that data already indexed or stored in Salesforce (via Search & Match or Resume Parsing) will not be transferred automatically to the Direct API environment.
• You will need to create a new account in RChilli MyAccount and purchase a plan according to your required products and usage.
• Once your account is active, you will receive credentials and access to RChilli’s Direct APIs.
   

Step-by-Step Migration Process

1. Evaluate API Requirements

• Identify which features you currently use in the Salesforce App (e.g., Resume Parsing, JD Parsing, Search & Match).
• Review the relevant RChilli API documentation:
  • Resume Parser API
  • Job Parser API
  • Search & Match API

2. API Key Setup

• Sign up or log in to your RChilli MyAccount.
• Retrieve the following credentials:
  • User Key
  • Sub-User ID
  • API Version
• For instructions, see: How to find your API key

3. Data Field Mapping

• Map your Salesforce résumé or job data fields to the corresponding RChilli API JSON fields.
• RChilli supports 200+ data fields, and custom mapping may be required if you use Salesforce custom objects.

4. API Integration

• Replace existing Salesforce app functionality with direct REST API calls such as:
  • /parseResumeBinary
  • /parseResume
  • /parseJD
     

Example JSON Request:

{

  "filedata": "{{base64EncodedResume}}",

  "filename": "resume.pdf",

  "userkey": "your_user_key",

  "version": "8.0.0",

  "subuserid": "your_sub_user_id"

}
 

5. Testing

• Test API calls using sample résumés and job descriptions.
• Validate that parsed fields and values match expectations in your Salesforce environment or external system.
   

6. Go Live

• After successful testing, update your production Salesforce environment (or other connected systems) to use the RChilli APIs directly.
• Disable or uninstall the Salesforce Marketplace App if no longer required.
