Welcome to the UKG Pro API

The Developer Hub documents the UKG Pro API and is organized into reference and conceptual documentation, accessed through the API specifications and Documentation links in the header.

Introduction

UKG Pro Web Services is an automation product offering that allows data transfer using an Application Programming Interface (API). With UKG Pro Web Services, you can leverage your UKG Pro data for solving business application and integration needs.

UKG Pro API

The UKG Pro API enables you to resolve integration needs by providing a programmatic interface to your UKG Pro data via SOAP-based and REST-based web services. The API enables the integration of UKG Pro data in a variety of use cases from API dashboards to data replication and custom reporting front-ends.

The API supports the retrieval and updating of UKG Pro data. You can use a user name and password for a UKG Pro Service Account or a UKG Pro Web User account with Web Services permissions. Service Accounts can be granted permission to any of our web services on the Service Account administrative page in UKG Pro. Authentication also requires a valid Customer API key and User API Key.
