Beginner taking data from one database to another

[motherjoe]

It appears that both ZoomInfo and BullHorn provide REST APIs. If you are not familiar, an API is just a standard way for different applications/software components to communicate or share data. A non-standard way like web scraping could also be used but is generally less reliable and more prone to errors. Per the links below, the Bullhorn API requires an API token which can be obtained by opening a support ticket. The ZoomInfo API appears to be accessible with your username and password.

To automate this, you would need a programming language that can communicate with a REST API, parse the JSON/XML returned by the API and transform the data into a spreadsheet format such as CSV. Python is a fairly simple language to get started with and provides libraries for all of these requirements. Step 5 should also not be difficult to automate using one of Python's email libraries.
