Webservice / API

Updated by Chris Storms

Soon, our web service will switch to a new form of security: instead of using a username and password, access will be granted via a digital key (OAuth). This change is intended to improve the security of your data.

Until this new security method is fully rolled out, no new web services will be set up. This prevents new integrations from still using the outdated method, which would later require adjustments by your development team.

The webservice allows another software application to read the booked absences from HR Selfservice.

HR Selfservice is SD Worx' core HR software for the Belgian SME market.

In order to read and interpret the data from HR Selfservice, programming is of course required in the "other" software application. So it is best to discuss this first with the provider of that application on the basis of the technical documentation below.

The webservice is read-only.

Some use cases:

Planning tools

Workers book their absences in HR Selfservice and your planning tool integrates these absences in order to update the planning;

Time registration

Employees enter their absences in HR Selfservice. Your time registration system combines the absence from HR Selfserivce with the hours worked and sends the combined data to Payroll.

Invoicing (e.g. for long term consultancy assignments)

The invoicing system picks up the absences from HR Selfservice in order to invoice the customer for the actual number of days worked.

Usage of the webservice is free but needs to be activated by SD Worx. In order to activate the webservice, please send an e-mail to support@sdworx.com mentioning your SD Worx customer number (e.g. 1AB1234) . You will receive your credentials as soon as the webservice is activated.

Please note: this documentation still describes the ‘old’ security methodology and is provided for reference purposes only for existing users.
