One request. Every HRIS.

Swap the connection_id and the same code reads employees from Workday, BambooHR, Rippling or any of 881 HRIS integrations, in one normalized shape. Every call is live against the source API.

curl --get \

  --header "authorization: bearer $UNIFIED_API_KEY"

// npm install @unified-api/typescript-sdk
import { UnifiedTo } from '@unified-api/typescript-sdk';

const unified = new UnifiedTo({
  security: { jwt: process.env.UNIFIED_API_KEY },
});

const employees = await unified.hris.listHrisEmployees({
  connectionId: '{connection_id}',
  limit: 1,
});

# pip install Unified-python-sdk
import os
from unified_python_sdk import UnifiedTo
from unified_python_sdk.models import shared

The modern Unified API+MCP platform, built differently

Real-time, pass-through

Every request hits the source API live. No caching or sync jobs: reads and writes go to the source API, and native and virtual webhooks report changes on supported integrations.

No customer records at rest

No customer records at rest; connection credentials and operational metadata are encrypted at rest. Each workspace runs in one region: US on every plan, EU or AU on Pro and Scale.

Common objects across every category

Unified objects, endpoints, scopes and errors across every category, plus raw payloads when you need vendor-specific fields.

Custom fields & objects

Read and write custom fields through the Metadata API; reach custom objects through raw fields and the Passthrough API.

AI-ready integrations

Built for AI products: Unified MCP gives LLMs scoped access to integration tools, with options to limit permissions and hide sensitive fields.

Predictable pricing, no lock-in

Usage-based pricing that scales with API volume, not with the number of customers you connect. Own your credentials and export them anytime; tokens issued to your own OAuth app keep refreshing after you leave.

Get integrations from backlog to production in days

1. Activate integrations

Enable integrations across 38 API categories, from Product Lifecycle Management to HR & Directory and ATS

2. Launch integrations

Build, test, and launch multiple integrations simultaneously with only a few lines of code.

3. Authorize integrations

Embed our authorization component to let customers easily link their accounts.

Authorization handled for you

A pre-built authorization component and API handle each vendor's sign-in, so your code works with a connection ID.
