List all applications under a specific job

Question

I'm trying to List all applications that is under a specific job using upwork API ..

applications that should return, contain the freelancers who I've sent invitation to, and the accepted the invitation but they aren't hired yet.

So i tried to use List job applications as client giving it the access_token, buyer_team_ref, job_key , but all i get is this weird response

    "data": {
        "paging": {
            "offset": "0",
            "count": "0",
            "total": "0"
        },
        "scrolling": "",
        "applications": []
    }
}  

that no applications is found in the applications [], while in my job at the website, i got applications, i got people who i hired them already and i can see them if i used List engagements. but for applications i can't see them.

So i was wondering if i'm using the wrong API, or there is another way to retrieve them, or something wrong with the API itself :D ??

Answer 1

If the people already hired, they are on a contract. Thus, List engagements is the right API. If you need more details about the difference between applications and contracts (engagements), feel free to contact our Support Team (https://support.upwork.com/)
