CUSTOMER CHOICE
Third-party accessibility
The developer overview permits building integrations on behalf of MAX customers with customer keys. Verified integration partners use OAuth after a discretionary review and contractual agreement; Partner Jobs is a separate lead-generation product.
Confirm who can connect, who owns the credentials and which uses are permitted. Customer consent and provider approval can be separate requirements; the selected plan and contract still matter.
READ / INTEGRATE
API and export routes
The public overview names customer, job and employee interfaces. Detailed pagination and operation schemas were not established in this review, so the scored bulk route is the administrator CSV export.
| Access route | Authentication | Credential owner | Provider approval | Access requirement | Last checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MAX customer integration key | API key | Customer | No | max plan; customer api key; integrations may be built on the customer’s behalf | 2026-10-16 |
| Verified integration partner OAuth | OAuth 2.0 | Integration provider | Yes | discretionary integration review and contractual agreement | 2026-10-16 |
Availability depends on your product, plan and agreement. See the documentation below for the requirements of each route.
ECONOMIC ACCESS
Cost, authentication and limits
The help center limits API access to MAX; the developer overview also mentions XL. Confirm the eligible package in the account contract. The API publishes 429 and RateLimit-Reset behavior without a verified numeric quota.
Check API entitlement, credential ownership and rate limits for the route you intend to use. Include review fees, customer-plan upgrades and ongoing access charges in the total.
ACT FROM OUTSIDE
External action
The overview advertises creation functions, but this review did not establish a current operation-level write contract. Confirm the exact customer or job operation before using it.
Validate the supported operation, acting identity and permission scope (read access does not imply write permission). Ambiguous retries and revoked credentials also affect whether an external workflow can run safely.
KEEP ACCESS USEFUL
Continuity
Administrators can request fresh customer/job CSV files to rebuild the exported current list scope. API webhooks are separate hints (retained replay and deletion recovery remain unverified).

Useful ongoing access includes corrections and deletions, not only the first export. A failed request, changed filter or lost resource permission should not be interpreted as a deleted record.
LEAVE WITH YOUR DATA
Data exit and portability
Administrators request customer and job CSV files through the application and receive them by email. This supports a scoped external copy (attachments and complete history remain unverified). Cancellation retrieval rights are unresolved.
Test the output against the destination’s required fields and history. Check stable identifiers, relationships, attachments and extraction time; a sample file proves only the coverage of that sample.
BUILD / INSPECT / REUSE
Business logic and customization
Customer applications can apply external rules. Native workflow definitions, ownership and independent execution rights were not established.
Custom API access, ownership of workflows and the right to export their definitions are separate questions. A custom-app capability alone does not establish that business rules can move to another system.
