  title: Greenhouse Assessment Partner API
  description: |
    The Assessment Partner API defines the contract that assessment vendors implement so
    Greenhouse can list available tests, send a test to a candidate, and retrieve the
    candidate's results. Endpoints are hosted by the partner (not Greenhouse) and are
    secured with HTTP Basic over HTTPS. Greenhouse may also receive PATCH callbacks from
    the partner with completed test status; otherwise it polls `test_status` hourly for
    up to 8 weeks. API keys must be fewer than 171 characters.
