Developer's Guide

API Reference

The iPayroll REST API allows you to query and manipulate data held by iPayroll about organisations and their employees. It uses predictable, resource-oriented URLs, and communicates API errors using HTTP response codes.

The iPayroll API uses standard HTTP Verbs, JSON and Oauth2.

The API can be used directly by clients developing their own applications. Third party applications can also be authorised by clients to access information on their behalf.

Base URL

All URLs referenced in the documentation have the following base:

https://secure2.ipayroll.co.nz/api/v1

The iPayroll REST API is served over HTTPS. Plain HTTP is not supported.

Functionality

The iPayroll API supports the following actions:

  • Get employees
  • Create employees
  • Get pay rates for an employee
  • Get custom fields for an employee
  • Get payslips
  • Get leave balances for an employee
  • Get leave requests
  • Get timesheets associated with the latest payroll
  • Get cost centres
  • Create cost centres
  • Get pay elements
  • Get List of Payrolls
  • Get leave balance types

Scopes

Data available via the iPayroll API is grouped into scopes.

Scopes allow an organisation to expose only a particular section of their data to a third-party application. For example, permission can be granted only to access employee details, but not their timesheets.

The iPayroll API supports the following scopes:

  • Employees (employees)
  • Timesheets (timesheets)
  • Pay Rates (payrates)
  • Custom Fields (customfields)
  • Cost Centres (costcentres)
  • Leave Balances (leavebalances)
  • Leave Requests (leaverequests)
  • Payslips (payslips)
  • Pay Elements (payelements)
  • Payrolls (payrolls)

Your application will have to request access for the scopes it is interested in, and the user will have to grant that access.

Getting Started

To begin using the API, you first need to register a developer account by emailing api@ipayroll.co.nz with your request. We will then provide you with the following on our demo:

application-account: This is the account your application can use to make API calls.

developer-account: You may use this account to login to your application's dashboard where you can obtain your client id and secret, and also configure your application.

organisation-account (client): The developer and application accounts are not associated with a specific organisation, therefore, you can not access any data that belongs to a particular organisation if you login with your developer account.

In order to make any productive API calls, you'll need access to an organisation in the system. So you can use one of the organisation's user accounts to grant permission to your application to access the organisation's data.

Whether you are an existing iPayroll customer or a third party developer who wants to integrate with iPayroll, a new organisation would be created in the demo environment, along with a user account with full access rights to the organisation. You can use this account to set data up for your organisation to test API calls or verify information uploaded through the API.

Developer Overview

Technologies used

The iPayroll API comprises a set of REST services. It accepts JSON formatted payloads where applicable, and always returns JSON data along with HATEOAS style links indicating further actions that can be performed on data elements. OAuth 2 is used for authorisation.

Environments

iPayroll provides two API environments.

https://demo.ipayroll.co.nz - This is the test environment used when developing and testing your applications.

https://secure2.ipayroll.co.nz - This is the live production system.

Remember: Those environments require the use of HTTPS.

Requests

All requests to iPayroll API end-points require your application to authenticate. Authentication is token based. This means that a valid access token must be attached to every API request, either as an HTTP header or as a request parameter.

We provide a detailed authentication and authorisation guide in the Authorisation how to.

The parameter types in the document are described in the following table:

Type Description Examples
String A sequence of characters "This is a String"
Integer Whole number, with no fractional part 1000
Number A number which may contain a fractional part of up to 4 digits 1.1234
JSON Object JavaScript Object Notation {"foo" : "bar"}

Retrieving Resources with HTTP GET

Your application may retrieve a representation of a resource by GETting the correct URLs. Successful GET requests to return HTTP code 200.

Response Format

All of the responses from iPayroll's API are in JSON format.

Date Formats

Definition of letters used:

Letter Represented component Examples
d Day in month 10
M Month in year Jul when MMM; 07 when MM
y Year 1996 when yyyy; 96 when yy

When posting data, you may use any of the following formats:

  • dd-MM-yyyy
  • dd-MMM-yyyy
  • yyyy-MM-dd
  • yyyy-MMM-dd
  • dd/MM/yy
  • dd/MM/yyyy
  • dd/MMM/yy
  • dd/MMM/yyyy
  • MM/dd/yy
  • MM/dd/yyyy
  • dd/MM
  • dd/MMM

Links

Elements in the response may contain HATEOAS style links indicating further, related actions.

For example, a response containing an employee element, may contain links for the employee's payrate and timeshseet endpoints.
