For organisations

STEMBridge API

Send your opportunities to STEMBridge automatically, straight from where you already announce them.

1. Get an API key

Register your organisation (or join it), then an owner opens the organisation dashboard → API & integrations → Create key. Keys start with sb_live_, are shown once, and can be revoked at any time.

Send it on every request: Authorization: Bearer sb_live_…

2. Create or update an opportunity

POST https://stembridge.app/api/v1/opportunities with a JSON body. New listings from untrusted organisations go to review first; trusted organisations publish immediately.

curl -X POST https://stembridge.app/api/v1/opportunities \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STEMBRIDGE_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "externalId": "news-2026-114",
    "title": "Summer research school in AI",
    "type": "Summer school",
    "link": "https://www.your-university.edu/news/114",
    "description": "Two weeks of lectures and lab work on applied machine learning.",
    "levels": ["Bachelor", "Master"],

List and delete

# Your organisation's listings (any source)
curl https://stembridge.app/api/v1/opportunities -H "Authorization: Bearer $STEMBRIDGE_KEY"

# Remove a listing you sent, by your externalId
curl -X DELETE https://stembridge.app/api/v1/opportunities/news-2026-114 -H "Authorization: Bearer $STEMBRIDGE_KEY"

3. Connect your announcements

Your website or CMS

When an announcement is published, call POST /opportunities from your backend with the post id as externalId. Call it again on edits, DELETE on removal.

WordPress

Use a webhook plugin (for example "WP Webhooks") on post publish/update: method POST, the URL above, the Authorization header, and map your fields to the JSON body.

Zapier / Make

Trigger: new item in your RSS feed, Google Sheet or CMS. Action: "Webhooks by Zapier" (or Make's HTTP module) → POST, JSON, with the Authorization header.

Power Automate

Trigger on your SharePoint/news list, then an HTTP action (POST) with the JSON body and the Authorization header.

From JavaScript:

await fetch("https://stembridge.app/api/v1/opportunities", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.STEMBRIDGE_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ externalId: post.id, title: post.title, type: "Scholarship / grant",
    link: post.url, description: post.summary, levels: ["Master"], deadline: post.deadline }),
});

Good to know

Errors: 401 missing/unknown key · 403 organisation not approved yet · 422 invalid data (see details) · 429 more than 120 requests per minute · 501 API not enabled on this server.

Security: keep your key on your server or in your automation tool's secret settings, never in a public web page. Revoke it from the dashboard if it leaks.
