API

What is an API?

Our application program interface (API) lets other programs create and retrieve data in your payroll database.

For example, you might have your own attendance system or HR package and want to create or retrieve information from your payroll system, such as:

• QueryStaff retrieve employee information

• AddStaff create a new employee

• UpdateStaff update an employee record

• QueryLeave get employee leave balance and entitlement information

• AddTime create a timesheet entry

How does it work?

We provide you with an "API Key" which is a unique identifier that allows access to your database and is required in every request to the API.

The API Key is available from your Profile > API Details menu option in the app (available to the site owner only).
