Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Authenticate using Hover's OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code grant to obtain a bearer access token (valid 2 hours, refreshable)
POST to https://hover.to/api/v2/capture_requests with capture_request[capturing_user_name], capture_request[capturing_user_email], capture_request[job_attributes][location_line_1], and current_user_email or current_user_id
Include capture_request[capturing_user_phone] if you want Hover to text the capture link to the assigned user
Track the returned capture request through its states: new, connected, complete, deleted
Subscribe to Capture Request State Changed webhooks (or poll) to know when the property has been captured so downstream processing can begin
Known gotchas
You cannot customize the SMS/email copy Hover sends automatically — to send your own custom messaging, capture just the returned link and deliver it yourself
Capture request creation immediately creates a draft Job in Hover, before any capture happens — don't treat request creation as job completion
Third-party integrations must be enabled on the organization's Hover plan, or the user will hit an 'upgrade or contact us' prompt when trying to authorize your app
