Overview

The Update Resume endpoint lets you modify any aspect of a resume. Only fields you include in the request are updated - everything else stays unchanged. Common use cases:
  • AI agent resume tailoring - update skills or summary to match a specific job description.
  • Rename or reorganize - change the resume name, switch templates, or reorder sections.
  • Set as default - promote a resume to be the default for auto-prep applications.
