DocuShell Resume Parsing API vs Resumly Developer API

DocuShell Resume Parsing API extracts structured candidate profiles from PDF resumes for use in recruiting and HR software. Its Resume Parse endpoint returns candidate and contact details, experience, education, skills, resume sections, and ATS confidence. DocuShell describes its extractor as deterministic and says it maps profiles without 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 including n8n, Zapier, Make, Airtable, databases, CRMs, and custom HTTPS endpoints; signatures use HMAC-SHA256, with current and previous signatures supported during key rotation. Uploaded resumes and generated artifacts are temporarily stored, then deleted after stream completion or in a cleanup sweep within one hour. Credits reset monthly and do not roll over, and API work stops at the plan limit without automatic overage charges. The Free plan costs nothing but has no API access. Starter costs $7.20 a month and includes API access and webhooks. Pro, Growth, and Scale offer higher monthly credit allowances and file or page limits at higher listed prices.

Resumly Developer API gives applications and AI agents access to resume, job-search, application, and interview-preparation operations. Its public API has 45+ endpoints, and a Python SDK is available through pip install resumly. Resume tools parse PDF and DOCX files, create tailored resumes and cover letters, rewrite resumes, translate documents into 40+ languages, and export PDF or DOCX. Job functions include saved searches, matched-job reads, and search refreshes; application tools cover server-side submission, tracking, and autopilot controls. The API also supports company research, interview-question generation, and feedback and scoring on answers. Listed integrations include LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenClaw, the OpenAI Agents SDK, and MCP. Header-capable clients including Cursor, Claude Code, and VS Code can connect to the hosted MCP server; hosted Claude and ChatGPT require a separate OAuth rollout. Traffic uses TLS, API keys are stored as SHA-256 hashes and shown once, and public-scope keys are limited to /api/v1 endpoints. The prepaid wallet balance sets a spend cap, and failed operations are not billed. Free limits are 10 requests per minute and 200 per day; Max allows 120 per minute and 5,000 per day.
