Tools

What your assistant can do with Resumondo. It writes the content; these tools save it, design it and make the PDF.

Your assistant picks the right tool on its own when you ask for something. You don't need to name them, but it helps to know what's possible.

Tool	What it does	Plan
`get_profile`	Your name and email, to fill in your details.	Every plan
`list_resumes`	Your saved resumes.	Paid plan
`get_resume`	One resume's full content.	Paid plan
`list_templates`	The designs and accent colors you can use.	Paid plan
`create_resume`	Saves a new resume and makes its PDF.	Paid plan
`update_resume`	Replaces a saved resume with a new version.	Paid plan
`create_cover_letter`	Saves a new cover letter and makes its PDF.	Paid plan
`update_cover_letter`	Replaces a saved cover letter.	Paid plan

These tools never write or rewrite text. Everything in your documents comes from your assistant, based on what you tell it, so check what it wrote before you send it out.

resumesarray

Each with its id, title, template, updated_at and editor_url.

create_resume#

Saves a new resume your assistant wrote, lays it out in a template and makes the PDF. It always adds a separate resume, like a version for one job, and never changes an existing one.

Replaces a saved resume with the complete new version your assistant sends. Anything left out is removed, so your assistant reads it with get_resume first and sends back the whole resume. It keeps its design unless you ask for a new one.

Limits#

To keep Resumondo fast for everyone, each account has a few limits. Normal use, even tailoring a resume to several jobs in a row, stays well under them.

What counts	Limit
Saves: `create_resume`, `update_resume`, `create_cover_letter` and `update_cover_letter`. Each one makes a PDF.	20 per 10 minutes
Every request your assistant sends, reads included.	120 a minute

Over the save limit, nothing is saved and the tool returns an error that says when to try again. Your assistant passes that on, and you can ask again after that. Over the request limit, the server answers with HTTP 429 and a Retry-After header in seconds.

Building your own client? Sign-in has limits per IP address: 60 per 10 minutes for client registration, and 30 a minute for rejected token requests. Successful token requests and refreshes don't count. Both answer 429 with Retry-After.

The resume object#

The format create_resume and update_resume take and get_resume returns. Unknown fields are empty strings or empty lists, and dates are YYYY-MM, or just YYYY when only the year is known.
