Integrations
Talroo supports multiple ways to connect publishers to our job inventory. Use the comparison below to pick an entry point, then open the matching setup guide:
- API — real-time Search API
- XML — bulk feed + your search stack
- Widget — embed snippet
- Affiliate Link — single tracked URL
Comparison at a Glance
| Aspect | API | XML | Widget | Affiliate Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data freshness | Real-time | Hours (scheduled pull) | Real-time | Real-time |
| Implementation effort | Medium | High | Low | Lowest |
| Personalization (PID) | Yes | No | No | No |
| Conversion postbacks | Optional | Recommended | N/A | N/A |
| Job content available | Most | Restricted | Most | Most |
| Best for | Job boards, alerts, apps | In-house search | Low-code embeds | Newsletters, social, referrals |
Why API/XML tradeoffs matter: freshness, personalization, and inventory rules tie to Personalization (PID) (API only), Click Validation (traffic quality plus feed freshness — especially XML), Search Algorithm, and Revenue Models. Splitting disparate traffic cleanly is Affiliate ID Segmenting.
How to Choose (One Line Each)
API — Query per visitor from your backend (setup →); pass pid and read Personalization (PID) for why it matters.
XML — You ingest snapshots; lean on postbacks and Click Validation cadence so payouts stay intact.
Widget — You want placements without building search; onboarding supplies the snippet (see Widget).
Affiliate Link — You monetize outbound clicks from email/social/posts with a dashboard URL (Affiliate Link).
Redistribution or reselling of Talroo jobs or data — whether obtained via XML feeds or the API — is not permitted. Quality Score and compliance both depend on controlled distribution paths.
