API

What is API?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of protocols and tools that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. In HR technology, APIs enable integration between systems such as applicant tracking systems, payroll platforms, benefits administration tools, and human resource information systems. APIs allow data to flow automatically between platforms, reducing manual data entry, improving accuracy, and creating a more seamless experience for HR teams and employees. Modern HR software stacks rely heavily on APIs to connect best-of-breed solutions into a cohesive ecosystem.
