ADP API: Guide for HRIS Integration and Automation

This guide covers how to integrate with the ADP API for payroll and HRIS data access. If you're looking for an easier path, Bindbee connects you to ADP and 65+ other HRIS and payroll systems through one normalized API.

Understanding ADP API

ADP is the largest payroll and HR platform globally. ADP exposes multiple APIs across its product lines: ADP Workforce Now (mid-market to enterprise), ADP Run (SMB payroll), and ADP TotalSource. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with ADP-specific authorization flows.

Key Integration Use Cases

• Employee data sync: Pull employee records, compensation, employment status, and org structure.
• Payroll run data: Access pay dates, earnings, deductions, and payroll history.
• Deduction write-back: Push benefits deduction changes to ADP payroll.

Integration Methods

Direct API

ADP's API requires formal partnership and API access approval. The authentication flow is complex, and ADP has multiple product-specific APIs with different schemas. Implementation typically takes several months and requires ADP-specific expertise.
