This package uploads a resume file to the SharpAPI AI endpoint and returns a status URL to poll for results. When the job completes, you can fetch a structured JSON containing parsed resume data (contact info, experience, education, skills, and more).
<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use SharpAPI\ResumeParser\ResumeParserClient;
use GuzzleHttp\Exception\GuzzleException;
$resumePath = __DIR__ . '/resume.pdf'; // make sure this file exists
$language = 'English';
$client = new ResumeParserClient(apiKey: 'your_api_key_here');
try {
// submit parsing job
$statusUrl = $client->parseResume(
$resumePath,
$language // optional – English is default
);
// Optional: adjust polling settings
$client->setApiJobStatusPollingInterval(10); // seconds
$client->setApiJobStatusPollingWait(180); // seconds total wait
// fetch results when ready
$result = $client->fetchResults($statusUrl)->toArray();
print_r($result);
} catch (GuzzleException $e) {
// Handle SharpAPI or network errors
echo $e->getMessage();
