We've consolidated our separate methods of communicating our most important news into the What's New log, which provides an ongoing log of changes across the Hub. What's New contains this section covering changes to the Developer Hub as a whole and sections for each of our major APIs, like Pro and Pro WFM.

🚧 UKG Pro status

The UKG Pro status link located at the top of each page will take you to the UKG Pro status page in the UKG Community. If you are experiencing issues with your API calls, you can check the status of UKG Pro services. Service disruptions impact API calls to that service.

📜 Auto-expanding response schemas

API specifications now auto-expand the first HTTP status code 200-level response schema.

💡 API specifications: Authorization and URL
