How to provide XING E-Recruiting API logfiles

In case you've notice problems with our XING E-Recruiting API we will help you. To do this as quickly as possible please provide us detailed logging information about what went wrong. This guide will show you how such logfiles should look like.

Your logfiles should contain the following data:

  • Request
    • Exact request time
    • Request HTTP header
      • Full request path
      • Accept-Headers
    • Request HTTP content
      • including OAuth data if not part of the header)
  • Response
    • Response headers
      • HTTP Status code
      • X-Logjam-Request-Id header
    • Response content
      • Error messages if available
