What you can build with the Open API
Read and write leave data in your own tools
Read and update leaves, users, locations, departments and leave types from your own tools and scripts.
Create keys with only the access needed
Each key gets only the scopes it needs, with expiry, rotation and revocation, and never more than its owner's role.
Get signed webhooks for leave events
Signed webhooks tell your system when leave is requested, approved, denied, changed, cancelled or expired.
Act on behalf of anyone on your team
Send requests as a specific user, so leave booked from your own tools is recorded under the right person.
Manage automations and reports
Set up automations, notifications and scheduled reports through the API, not just leave requests.
