Access needs a paying customer account, with no public price, trial or self-serve sandbox, and no numeric rate limit or idempotency key was found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n**Zoho Recruit.** OAuth scopes narrow to one module and one operation, the docs have an llms.txt index with a Markdown page per endpoint, and the Free edition includes 5,000 API credits a day. No OpenAPI description, official SDK, SLA or dated API changelog was found, and the documented token refresh puts the client secret in the URL.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Greenhouse\n\n1. Request a token from https://auth.greenhouse.io/token with client credentials, then send it as a Bearer token to https://harvest.greenhouse.io/v3. Tokens expire, so repeat on 401\n2. Put filters and `per_page` on the first list request only. A `cursor` must be the only query parameter, or the call returns 422\n3. Send the current stage as `from_stage_id` when moving an application. It guards against stale moves. Other writes have no idempotency key, so check before retrying\n4. Read `X-RateLimit-Remaining` on every response and wait for `Retry-After` on 429. The window is 30 seconds\n5. Expect empty list results or 403 unless the token's user is a Site Admin with the needed permissions\n\n### Zoho Recruit\n\n1. Use the `api_domain` returned with the token, or the regional host (recruit.zoho.com, recruit.zoho.eu, recruit.zoho.in and others). Tokens from one data centre fail on another\n2. Send `Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken \u003ctoken\u003e` and refresh hourly. Put refresh parameters in the POST body, not the URL\n3. Pass `fields` on list calls and page with `page` and `per_page` (200 at most) until `more_records` is false\n4. Create through `/{module_api_name}/upsert` with `duplicate_check_fields` so a retry updates instead of duplicating\n5. Move a candidate with `PUT /{module_api_name}/status`, not upsert. Pass `trigger: []` on writes to skip workflows, approvals and blueprints\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Greenhouse or Zoho Recruit?\n\nGreenhouse scores 64.8 (B) on agent readiness against Zoho Recruit's 59.8 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
