**APIs profiled:** 1

Fountain is an AI-powered frontline workforce management platform used by 500+ enterprise employers across retail, logistics, hospitality, healthcare, and food service to source, hire, onboard, schedule, and retain high-volume hourly workers. Its developer platform exposes a REST API — the Hire v2 API plus newer Workforce, Attendance, Scheduling, Compliance, Referral, Pool, and Pulse microservices — for programmatically managing applicants, openings, positions, locations, interview slots, workers, documents, custom attributes, and data exports. Authentication is OAuth2 client-credentials (with a legacy X-ACCESS-TOKEN key model on tenant hosts), webhooks are HMAC-SHA-256 signed, requests are rate limited to 120/minute, and deprecations are signaled with RFC 8594 Sunset headers.
