Term	Meaning
Bearer token	A temporary access pass (a string of characters) you get back from `POST /auth/token`. You attach it to every other request as an HTTP header: `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Think of it as a wristband you're given at the door — it expires, so `POST /auth/token` again once it does (`expiresIn` tells you when).
Webhook	The reverse of a normal API call: instead of you asking ZekoAI for a result, you give ZekoAI a URL on your own server, and ZekoAI sends (`POST`s) the result there automatically when it's ready. Useful so you don't have to keep asking "is it done yet?".
Polling	Repeatedly calling a status endpoint (e.g. every few seconds) until it reports the job is done. The alternative to a webhook. Use whichever fits your app better.
JD	Job description - the text (or a link to a PDF/DOCX/TXT file) describing the role you're hiring for. ZekoAI reads this to generate interview and resume screening parameters (If feature enabled on your account)
Presigned / pre-authenticated URL	A link with a secret token baked into it, so opening it logs you (or a candidate) straight in, no separate username/password step.
202 Accepted	An HTTP status meaning "request received, processing in the background", different from `200 OK`, which means "already finished, here's your result." You'll see `202` on the two endpoints that take time (creating an interview, screening resumes).
