How do I integrate Okta API with my application?

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

What Okta data can I access through Apideck?

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

How does Okta authentication work with Apideck?

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

Does Apideck support Okta webhooks?

Yes, Apideck provides Okta's native webhook events. Our unified webhook system normalizes events across all integrations, so you handle Okta events with the same code you use for other hris platforms.

Why use Apideck instead of Okta's direct API?

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

How quickly can I build a Okta integration?

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