Introduction to the Subscribe-HR RESTful API

RESTful API

Subscribe-HR API or SAPI for short is the primary way to get data out of, and put data into, the platform. It's an HTTP-based RESTful API that you can use to query, create, update and delete entities within Subscribe-HR. All the supported operations are outlined on apiary at the following link http://docs.subscribehr.apiary.io

The Integration Module provides a front-end configurable interface for setting up integrations using the RESTful API. Additional documentation can be found here: http://subscribehr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sharpi.html

It contains the following two sections:
