Customer API FAQs
The API is intended for developers, engineers, or technical teams with experience building and maintaining API integrations. Using the API requires knowledge of authentication, HTTP requests, and data handling.
You can find the latest Customer API documentation, including authentication details and endpoint information, on the Bright Developer Portal.
The BrightHR Customer API gives you access to three key types of data: employee information, Blip clock-in data and absence records.
Employee data includes the key staff information you store in BrightHR, helping you keep your people records connected and up to date.
Blip clock-in data shows when employees clock in and out, making it easier to support accurate time tracking and connected workflows.
Absence data includes employee time off information, including the dates and times linked to each absence, so you can keep leave records clear and easy to manage.
BrightHR gives you access to comprehensive API documentation and helpful resources to support your integration journey. While our support team isn’t able to help with custom development, third-party debugging or implementation design, the Bright Developer Portal has everything you need to get started with confidence.
