AlexisHR API Directory

AlexisHR is a cloud-based human resources software designed for small to medium-sized businesses that want to centralize and automate their people operations. It brings together employee data management, onboarding, performance reviews, time tracking, and payroll reporting into a single system, reducing manual work and administrative overhead for HR teams.

A key differentiator of AlexisHR is its built-in use of artificial intelligence, including chatbots that integrate directly with tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams. These features improve day-to-day employee interactions and help HR teams respond faster with accurate information. To fully leverage AlexisHR across an organization’s tech stack, the AlexisHR API plays a critical role, enabling structured data access, system-to-system sync, and workflow automation.

This blog provides a clear overview of what the AlexisHR APIs offer, the key capabilities they enable, and a comprehensive list of available endpoints.

Key highlights of AlexisHR APIs

1. Central employee data access
   Read and update employee records from a single source instead of maintaining duplicate HR data across systems.
2. Compensation and payroll inputs via API
   Manage salary, bonus, and additional compensation data programmatically to reduce manual payroll preparation.
3. Leave and time tracking data
   Access leave balances, leave transactions, timesheets, and time entries in structured formats for payroll and reporting.
4. Clear org structure management
   Departments, teams, cost centers, and offices can be created and updated to keep HR and finance aligned.
5. Bulk data operations
   Most endpoints support filtering, pagination, and sorting, making it practical to work with large employee datasets.
6. Event-based sync with webhooks
   Get notified when employee-related changes happen instead of polling APIs repeatedly.
7. Secure access control
   All APIs use Bearer token authentication, making permissions and access management predictable.
