### Overview

To retrieve job applications from the Sage Recruitment API, you can utilize the `listApplicants` and `applicantDetails` endpoints. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to fetch the first name, last name, and email of each candidate who has applied to a specific job.

#### 1\. List Applicants for a Specific Job

First, use the `listApplicants` endpoint to get a list of applicants for a specific job position.

```
import requests

# Define the endpoint and parameters
position_id = 123  # Replace with your specific job position ID
url = f"https://subdomain.sage.hr/api/recruitment/positions/{position_id}/applicants"
headers = {
    "X-Auth-Token": "your_auth_token"  # Replace with your actual auth token
}

# Make the GET request
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
applicants = response.json().get('data', [])

# Extract applicant IDs
applicant_ids = [applicant['id'] for applicant in applicants]
```

#### 2\. Get Details for Each Applicant

Next, use the `applicantDetails` endpoint to fetch detailed information for each applicant.

```
applicant_details = []

for applicant_id in applicant_ids:
    url = f"https://subdomain.sage.hr/api/recruitment/applicants/{applicant_id}"
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    data = response.json().get('data', {})
    applicant_details.append({
        "first_name": data.get("first_name"),
        "last_name": data.get("last_name"),
        "email": data.get("email")
    })

# Print the applicant details
for detail in applicant_details:
    print(detail)
```

#### 3\. Example Output

The output will be a list of dictionaries containing the first name, last name, and email of each applicant.

```
[
    {"first_name": "Jon", "last_name": "Vondrak", "email": "jon.vondrak@example.com"},
