How do I integrate CIPHR API with my application?

Apideck provides a unified HRIS API that makes CIPHR integration simple. Sign up for free, enable CIPHR in your dashboard, and use our Vault component to let your users connect their CIPHR accounts. We handle OAuth authentication, token refresh, and data normalization automatically.

What CIPHR data can I access through Apideck?

Our CIPHR integration supports 1+ data models including person detail. You can perform read and write operations through our unified API, working with the same code structure across all hris platforms.

How does CIPHR authentication work with Apideck?

Apideck's Vault handles CIPHR authentication completely. Your users connect their CIPHR accounts through our secure, white-label UI. We manage OAuth tokens, automatic refresh, and credential storage, so you never have to implement CIPHR's auth flow yourself.

How do I keep my app in sync with CIPHR?

While CIPHR has limited native webhook support, Apideck provides polling-based sync and virtual webhooks to keep your data current. Configure your sync frequency in the dashboard, and we'll handle fetching updates from CIPHR.

Why use Apideck instead of CIPHR's direct API?

Using Apideck's unified API instead of CIPHR's direct API saves significant development time. You get normalized data models, automatic auth handling, and the same integration code works with 200+ other apps. When CIPHR updates their API, we handle the changes so your integration keeps working.

How quickly can I build a CIPHR integration?

Most developers ship a working CIPHR integration within a day using Apideck. Sign up for a free trial (no credit card required), enable CIPHR, and make your first API call within minutes. Our SDKs for Node.js, Python, and other languages make implementation straightforward.
