# AlexisHR API Directory

[AlexisHR](https://developers.getknit.dev/docs/alexishr-usecases) is a cloud-based human resources software designed for small to medium-sized businesses that want to centralize and automate their people operations. It brings together employee data management, onboarding, performance reviews, time tracking, and payroll reporting into a single system, reducing manual work and administrative overhead for HR teams.

A key differentiator of AlexisHR is its built-in use of artificial intelligence, including chatbots that integrate directly with tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams. These features improve day-to-day employee interactions and help HR teams respond faster with accurate information. To fully leverage AlexisHR across an organization’s tech stack, the AlexisHR API plays a critical role, enabling structured data access, system-to-system sync, and workflow automation.

This blog provides a clear overview of what the AlexisHR APIs offer, the key capabilities they enable, and a comprehensive list of available endpoints.

## Key highlights of AlexisHR APIs

1.  **Central employee data access**  
    Read and update employee records from a single source instead of maintaining duplicate HR data across systems.
2.  **Compensation and payroll inputs via API**  
    Manage salary, bonus, and additional compensation data programmatically to reduce manual payroll preparation.
3.  **Leave and time tracking data**  
    Access leave balances, leave transactions, timesheets, and time entries in structured formats for payroll and reporting.
4.  **Clear org structure management**  
    Departments, teams, cost centers, and offices can be created and updated to keep HR and finance aligned.
5.  **Bulk data operations**  
    Most endpoints support filtering, pagination, and sorting, making it practical to work with large employee datasets.
6.  **Event-based sync with webhooks**  
    Get notified when employee-related changes happen instead of polling APIs repeatedly.
7.  **Secure access control**  
    All APIs use Bearer token authentication, making permissions and access management predictable.
