How do I integrate Breathe HR API with my application?

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

What Breathe HR data can I access through Apideck?

Our Breathe HR integration supports 4+ data models including employees, leave requests, departments, and account. You can perform read and write operations through our unified API, working with the same code structure across all hris platforms.

How does Breathe HR authentication work with Apideck?

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

Does Apideck support Breathe HR webhooks?

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

Why use Apideck instead of Breathe HR's direct API?

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

How quickly can I build a Breathe HR integration?

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