It ensures that all HR related data is available for companies at one place and offers a personalized experience. Namely API allows users to connect all their employee data for a smooth HR function. This guide includes popular Namely API endpoints, use cases, FAQs and links to everything else you will need to start using Namely API today. The Namely API is a REST-based API with JSON-encoded responses, leveraging standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs. Upon integration with Namely API, users get access to data from the HRMS platform for better workflow management and insights. To maintain high levels of security, Namely API supports two forms of authentication, i.e. the standard 3-legged OAuth 2.0 authorization code grant and Bearer token authentication. Namely API endpoints -------------------- There are several endpoints within Namely API, based on how different fields are grouped for data filtering. ### Groups and Teams endpoints Defining how profiles of employees are organized within Namely API. The Groups and Teams Endpoints can be found [here](https://developers.namely.com/docs/namely-api/ZG9jOjM1MDA2ODI1-groups-and-teams-endpoints). ### Home Feed Endpoints Categorization of posts on Namely Home Feed across events, announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, new arrival, etc. All Home Feed endpoints are mentioned [here](https://developers.namely.com/docs/namely-api/ZG9jOjM1MDA2ODI2-home-feed-endpoints). ### Jobs Information Endpoints View, create and update all job related information with these API endpoints, including, job, job tiers, job title, etc. To see all Job Information endpoints, click [here](https://developers.namely.com/docs/namely-api/ZG9jOjM1MDA2ODI3-jobs-information-endpoints). ### Namely Systems Information Endpoints Defining the valid values and formats for countries and subdivisions for use and reference. All Namely Systems Information Endpoints can be found [here](https://developers.namely.com/docs/namely-api/ZG9jOjM1MDA2ODI4-namely-system-info-endpoints). ### Profile Fields Endpoints Defining the structure of the profile at any company.

To see all Profile Fields Endpoints, click [here](https://developers.namely.com/docs/namely-api/ZG9jOjM1MDA2ODI5-profile-fields-overview). ### Profiles Endpoints Focusing on the content of the user’s profile within Namely, as opposed to Profile Fields endpoints, which focus on structure of profile at the company.
