Authentication

Authenticate your HRMS, ATS, or custom application with the People Index API using Bearer tokens and API keys.


API Keys

Every API request must be authenticated using an API key. You can create and manage API keys in the Developer Settings of your portal.

To authenticate, provide your secret key via the Authorization header in your HTTP requests.
