Getting Started with Keka API

Keka’s API module is a powerful tool designed to simplify integrations and enable seamless data flow between Keka and your other software systems. Whether you want to sync employee data, automate HR processes, or integrate with third-party tools, the API makes it possible. Here's a quick guide to get started with the Keka API.

Prerequisites for Using the Keka API

Before diving in, ensure the following:

API Module Add-On is Enabled: The API module is an add-on feature and must be enabled on your Keka account. Contact your account manager to activate it if it is not already part of your subscription.
Technical Team Availability: The API implementation requires technical expertise. Make sure your technical team is available to handle the integration process, including creating the necessary API calls and troubleshooting issues.

Steps to Get Started with Keka API

To access API keys, users must navigate to Global admin settings (1) and select Integrations & Automations (2) and you will see API access (3) and you will be in the API key (4) section.

Only the Global admin has the authority to generate and manage API keys.

2. Users must first generate the client ID and client secret.

3. API keys do not have a default expiry, but users can set expiry dates by enabling the Set expiry toggle and configuring the expiry date.
