Online Resume Parser is an API and web service from HireLayer that turns CVs and job descriptions into structured JSON for matching and ranking candidates. Its five APIs cover CV extraction, job criteria extraction, skills matching, candidate matching, and candidate ranking. Resume results can include contact details, work experience, education, languages, skills, certifications, and interests. It accepts document, spreadsheet, presentation, text, and image formats, including PDF, DOCX, ODT, PPTX, XLS, TXT, JPG/JPEG, PNG, and BMP. Requests use HTTPS with an X-API-Key; callers can also configure a webhook callback. The service is aimed at ATS and HR platforms, job boards, sourcing tools, staffing and recruitment agencies, and RPO providers. The site says files and extracted photos are stored in Paris, with AI processing in the EU. Callers can set do_not_store_data to true, though the default is false. Requests must be under 6 MiB, documents over 100,000 extracted characters return HTTP 422, and ranking supports up to 10 candidates per job. Free access includes 50 credits monthly; paid plans start at €12/mo.
