API reference guide

Get started with PeopleForce's API reference guide

Generating API key

Go to Settings → Open API keys (bottom of the page) → Generate API key.

Make sure you create the right type of API key for your use case:

  • Company API key - provides full access to the PeopleForce API and employee data with minimal restrictions.
  • Career API key - can be used to display vacancies on your public website. These API keys can be used on a public-facing website.

How to use key

To use API key you need to pass it as a part of the request.

Include the key in a header parameter called X-API-KEY.

Example: X-API-KEY: 123

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.
