# Apply to job

`POST /v1/jobs/{job_id}/apply`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://loppee.com`
- URL: `https://loppee.com/v1/jobs/{job_id}/apply`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Apply to an active, non-expired job as a signed-in consumer. The seeker is never charged. Resumes enter private quarantine and are unavailable to employers until a clean scan completes; later access uses a separate, scoped short-lived-URL endpoint.

## Path parameters

- `job_id` string, required

- JobApplicationRequest
  - `cover_note` string
  - `resume` JobResumeUpload, required
