Fully incorporate Ento into your ecosystem by exporting and importing data via API
Ento’s public API allows you to use your data however you want, directly integrating it into custom applications or reports that work best for you, all using the highest standards of data security.
This article serves as a summary of our API and its uses. For those already familiar, we have full technical documentation available here.
Those looking to simply export employee, shift or payroll information may prefer to utilise our built-in custom export templates feature instead.

Accessing the Ento API
You’ll need an API key to access the data on your account. These can be requested from our support team via chat or email.
Our team may ask for additional information to ensure your key is supplied properly and securely. Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas. Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure!
