OpenResumeParser vs Resumly Developer API

OpenResumeParser is a free, MIT-licensed project that extracts structured information from resumes and compares skills with job descriptions. It reads PDF and TXT files and extracts names, email addresses, phone numbers, skills, experience, and education. Its matching output includes a score, matched skills, and missing skills. The project offers a command-line interface and a FastAPI REST API, with API access and batch processing listed. A curated database covers more than 120 technical skills and can be customized in extractor.py. Dockerfile and docker-compose files support deployment, while Pydantic models are used in a type-safe design described by the README. The listed platforms are API, self-hosted, and Windows. The MIT license permits personal and commercial use. Important limits include no scanned-PDF or OCR support, heuristic experience and education extraction, a curated rather than machine-learning skills database, and regular-expression date extraction.

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.
