DocuShell Resume Parsing API
What it is
DocuShell Resume Parsing API extracts structured candidate profiles from PDF resumes for recruiting and HR software. Its Resume Parse endpoint returns candidate and contact details, experience, education, skills, sections, and ATS confidence. DocuShell describes its extractor as deterministic and says profile mapping does not use an LLM. A batch endpoint accepts up to 10 PDFs per request and emits webhook events as files finish. Signed webhooks can send events to services such as n8n, Zapier, Make, Airtable, databases, CRMs, and custom HTTPS endpoints. Uploaded resumes and generated artifacts are held temporarily, then deleted after stream completion or within a one-hour cleanup sweep. Credits reset monthly and do not roll over; API work stops at the plan limit without automatic overage charges. The free plan includes 500 credits per month but no API access. Paid plans start at $7.20 a month, and a free trial is listed.
