Dayforce web services supports the ability to use RESTful APIs to retrieve datasets using HTTP requests. This allows you to quickly and efficiently download high volumes of data.
Datasets expire after 63 days if they haven’t been accessed using the Get Dataset request. If a Get Dataset Metadata request is sent for an expired dataset, the response will show a status of “Expired”. If a Get Dataset request is sent for an expired dataset, then a 204 No Content response will be returned because the requested dataset has been deleted.
Note: Currently, Dayforce does not support the ability to use RESTful Web Services to work with Payroll Register reports.
