This guide is for developers who create code to interact with the Dayforce REST Services API. As RESTful services, many development platforms can interact with them.
Topics covered in this guide include how to locate the correct version of the service to use, authentication and authorization, and how to make a request and interpret the response, including error responses.
This guide is divided into the following topics:
- Integrate with the REST Service
- Create a .NET Console Client Application
- Retrieve a list of Employee XRefCodes
- Update Employee Data
- Adding a New Employee
- Retrieve List of Documents based on Employee
- Retrieve a Single Document
- Authorize and Filter Data
- Check for Errors
You must perform the following configuration steps in Dayforce before you can begin using Dayforce Web Services:
- Set up a web services user account and role
- Configure a password policy
- Configure security, including access authorizations and field-level accesses
These configuration steps might have already been completed for your organization. Contact a Dayforce Support or Implementation representative before using these features.
