How do I integrate Namely API with my application?

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

What Namely data can I access through Apideck?

Our Namely integration supports 2+ data models including profiles, and companies. You can perform read and write operations through our unified API, working with the same code structure across all hris platforms.

How does Namely authentication work with Apideck?

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

Does Apideck support Namely webhooks?

Yes, Apideck provides real-time notifications when Namely data changes. Our unified webhook system normalizes events across all integrations, so you handle Namely events with the same code you use for other hris platforms.

Why use Apideck instead of Namely's direct API?

Using Apideck's unified API instead of Namely'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 Namely updates their API, we handle the changes so your integration keeps working.

How quickly can I build a Namely integration?

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