Retrieves a specific interview by ID, including full details, transcript, analysis, and call attempt information.

​
Overview

The get interview endpoint returns comprehensive information about a single interview, including its current status, transcript, AI analysis (when available), and all associated metadata. This is the primary endpoint for accessing interview results and candidate evaluation data.

​
Use Cases

  • Retrieve Interview Results: Get analysis and transcript after interview completion
  • Check Interview Status: Monitor interview progress in real-time
  • Access Transcripts: Retrieve full conversation transcripts
  • Review Analysis: Access AI-generated candidate evaluation and scores

​
Response Data

The response includes:
  • Interview Details: Status, timestamps, duration, scheduled time
  • Transcript: Full conversation transcript (when available)
  • Analysis: AI-generated evaluation with scores and recommendations
  • Call Attempts: Information about call attempts and recordings
  • Candidate & Agent Info: Associated candidate and agent IDs

​
Analysis Data

When an interview is completed, the response includes comprehensive analysis. The analysis structure contains a general object with overall assessment and an optional specific object for interview-type-specific data: 
{
  "analysis": {
    "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
    "general": {
      "overallRating": 85,
      "companyFitRating": "HIGH",
      "education": "MASTER_LEVEL",
      "experience": "THREE_TO_5_YEARS",
      "strongPoints": ["Strong technical skills", "Clear communication"],
      "weakPoints": ["Limited leadership experience"],
      "evaluation": ["Strong hire for senior individual contributor role"],
      "status": 3,
      "createdAt": "2024-01-20T14:30:00Z",
      "updatedAt": "2024-01-20T14:30:00Z"
    },
    "specific": null
  }
}
The specific field contains interview-type-specific data when available. See the Interviews Resource Guide for details on each interview type.
Analysis data is only available after the interview is completed. For interviews in progress or scheduled, the analysis field will be null.

​
Status Checking

async function checkInterviewStatus(interviewId) {
  const response = await fetch(
    `https://api.instaview.sk/interviews/${interviewId}`,
    { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}` } }
  );

  const { data } = await response.json();

  return {
    status: data.status,
    hasAnalysis: data.analysis !== null,
    durationMinutes: data.durationMinutes,
    finishedDate: data.finishedDate,
  };
}

​
Company Isolation

The API ensures that you can only access interviews that belong to candidates in your company. Attempting to access an interview from another company will result in a 403 Forbidden error.

​
Error Scenarios

  • 404 Not Found: Interview doesn’t exist or has been deleted
  • 403 Forbidden: Interview belongs to a different company
