Capabilities Library and User Profile Bulk API

With the Capabilities Library and User Profile Bulk API, the same transactions, fields, and validations that exist with the Edge Import Capabilities Library and User Profile loads are available as an API endpoint for custom integrations. Customers can retrieve the schema with request fields directly from the API. Transactions can be saved as “jobs” and are viewable through Edge Import.

How Does this Enhancement Benefit My Organization?

For customers who want to build custom integrations, the Capabilities Bulk API allows customers to load the same Capabilities Library and User Profile data as Edge Import using API calls instead of a CSV upload.

Considerations

The Capabilities Bulk API is designed to update one or more records at a time. For customers who want to read data, the same fields are provided through the Data Exporter API.

The Capabilities Bulk API is intended to facilitate larger, periodic updates to skills data in Cornerstone, but not real-time transactions. Cornerstone is looking in to possibly support real-time 2-way transactions in the future with a different transactional API.

Implementation

The Capabilities Bulk API is included with the Bulk API that is available in the Edge Marketplace. Additional documentation is available in the API Explorer. Edge Import must also be installed in a portal in order to use this API.
