CLIENT LIBRARIES

By default, the Employment Hero API Docs demonstrate using curl to interact with the API over HTTP.

The Employment Hero API is a RESTful-based API that returns JSON-encoded responses and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.

Once connected, you'll have access to valuable HR data which can then be leveraged within your app or integration to power workflows and insights. In order to test the Employment Hero API, we recommend using a Bearer token for authentication - see this section for more information.

In order to test the EmploymentHero API, we recommend using Postman along with a Bearer token for authentication - see the Authentication section for more information on Bearer token-based authentication.

Authentication

The preferred secure way to authenticate against and access the Employment Hero API is by using an OAuth 2.0 protocol. Our OAuth 2.0 process described below follows a basic pattern from OAuth 2.0 documentation, please follow the steps below at a high level.

Basic steps

Developer Portal Access

access developer portal

To access the developer portal, visit and sign in to your Employment Hero account. The Developer Portal link is located in the menu under your profile name in the top right corner. The developer portal includes the features:

Obtain credentials

Visit the Developer Portal to register your application, below are the 3 fields required for creating an OAuth 2.0 application.

create OAuth 2.0 application

Application Properties

Field Description
Name A meaningful name for your OAuth 2.0 application (e.g. EH API Test Client)
Scope A list of scopes which the application can access. The scope list will be provided by Employment Hero.
NOTE: For security and data sensitivity concerns, scopes are a one-time selection on application creation.
Redirect URI(s) One or more URIs hosted by your company which a user will be redirected to following a successful OAuth handshake. Use a comma-separated list to add multiple redirect URIs. Please note that for security purposes, we request that you provide HTTPS URIs.

After registering a new OAuth 2.0 application, you can update your application properties except the scopes. The set of credentials includes client ID, secret and your application. Visit the application details page for the set of credentials (e.g. client ID, secret, application information) you will require in the upcoming steps. Below is the description of the generated credentials from the registration.

create OAuth 2.0 application

Credentials

Attribute Description
Client ID A unique string representing the registration OAuth 2.0 application.
Client Secret A random secret used by client to authenticate to the Employment Hero Authorisation Server. The client secret is a secret known only to the client and authorisation server.

Obtain access token

OAuth 2.0 application credentials are used for obtaining the access token. We recommend using an admin or an owner type of account to ensure access to all relevant API endpoints.

Authorisation

Before your application can access private data over the Employment Hero API, it must obtain an access token that grants access to that API. Application scopes which are selected in the previous step controls the set of API endpoints that you are requesting for permission. A single access token is a combination of those permissions. To grant access to your application, a request must be made to our Authorisation Server.

The user used to access the application will be requested to login to Employment Hero. After logging in, the user will be asked to grant the provided permission from your OAuth 2.0 application as well as application scopes. A successful login and confirmed permissions will redirect the user back to your provided redirect url including the authorisation code. If the user does not grant the permissions, the server will return an error. The authorisation code can be used to obtain the access token.

GET
/oauth2/authorize
curl "https://oauth.employmenthero.com/oauth2/authorize? \
  client_id=u6zcls9nx3b9Lq0sSLgUiTgRhMM3Miwx9KytOUrC9d0 \
  &redirect_uri=https://app.example.com/callback \
  &response_type=code"

RESPONSE

// example of successful logging in and granting permission
// where https://app.example.com/callback is your redirect uri
https://app.example.com/callback? \
  code=7E2s5m5OHdNSPdtNMri6xNoKH62nwV_0hl9xdJ1g7fs

HTTP Request

GET https://oauth.employmenthero.com/oauth2/authorize

Params

Attribute Description
client_id
string
Your client ID from OAuth 2.0 credentials
redirect_uri
string
One of your specified redirect url(s) in your OAuth 2.0 application
response_type
string
Use code here.

Access Token

The access token is required to access protected resources. It represents an authorisation issued to the client and will expire after 15 minutes. To obtain it, request an access token from our Authorisation Server. The request requires client_id, secret, and your granted authorization_code for security purposes. The response data includes access_token, refresh_token and token_type which indicates the correct authorisation type for the access token. There are many types of authorisation when making a request, currently we only support the Bearer type.
