Question
How do I find my payroll platform API key?
Answer
We have implemented our payroll API as a vanilla XML/JSON over HTTP and uses basic HTTP authentication. To use the API, you need to use your API Key, which you can find on the Account Details page.
Warning
This is valid for payroll subscribers only.
Helpful Hint
Each user intending to access the API should generate their own API Key. We base the access for a particular API Key on the access of the user who generates it. As a result, providing others with your API Key is essentially the same as providing your email/password to others.
- Log into your Employment Hero Payroll platform.
- Click the Account menu.
- Click the My Account submenu.
- Click the Account Details button.
Helpful Hint
You will find your payroll platform API key in the API Key field.
Further information
There are no additional costs associated with using the API.
For additional information on the API, please refer to our API Documentation.
