Acquiring your API Key
In order to use our public API, you will need to use the HR:Duo platform to generate a public API key.
To generate an API key, you must have the Manage Public API permission.
- Click on the settings cog ⚙️ and select Company Settings
- Navigate to Public API in the left-hand menu.
- Click Add New API Key and give it a meaningful name (e.g., its purpose).
- Copy and store the generated API key securely—it will not be shown again.
You should include the API key as the authorization header with each request you make.
Example:
Authorization: Bearer {your-api-key}Note: Your api key can be used to retrieve personal information about all staff in your company. Please handle it securely.
