Supports cursor-based pagination. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://api.twine.se/spec/openapi.json get /v1/org openapi: 3.0.3 info: contact: email: help@twine.se name: Twine Support description: >+ # Introduction Welcome to the Twine Public API reference. This API allows you to read data from Twine's system, and to write data back for supported domains. See the Pushing data section below for what can be written. # Versioning The API is versioned. The current version is v1.1, served under the `/v1` path. As the API is subject to change, new versions may be released. Always refer to the latest documentation to ensure you're using the correct version. ## Dated model attributes In v1.1, every entity field is tracked by change date. This allows you to fetch data as it existed at a specific point in time, or retrieve all changes from a specific point in time up to the present. You can also supply a shape to the API to get data in a format that suits your needs. ### Dated values In the v1.1 model, all fields are represented by an array of values with an optional valid_from timestamp. A null value for valid_from indicates that the field value is valid from the beginning of time, meaning it has no recorded history in the system. When multiple values exist in the array, they are sorted in descending order with the most recent value first. The last value may or may not have a null timestamp. An array can never contain more than one value with a null timestamp. # Authentication The Twine public API uses Bearer token authentication. The token should be sent in the `Authorization` header with the value `Bearer `. ## Provisioning a token To provision a token, you must first generate a long-lived refresh token using Twine backoffice. This token can then be used to generate short-lived access tokens. The refresh token should be kept secret and never shared. Follow these steps to obtain an access token: 1. Invoke `/provisioning/refresh-token/begin` using the JTI you received when provisioning the refresh token. 2. The response will contain a `salt` value 3. Concatenate the salt with the refresh token, separated by a colon (`:`) 4. Hash the concatenated string using SHA256, e.g. `sha256 ":"` 5. The hash should be in lower case 6. Invoke `/provisioning/refresh-token/refresh` with the JTI (as `jti`) and the hash (as `signature`) in the body 7. The response will contain an access token ## Legacy tokens Legacy tokens are still supported. These tokens are long-lived and can be used to authenticate against the API. However, we recommend using the new token provisioning system. ## Token expiration Provisioned tokens are short-lived. Decode them to find the expiry time. Legacy tokens have longer expiry times. # Filtering Some endpoints allow filtering on certain fields. Not all fields are filterable, and filter operations may vary between fields. Refer to specific endpoints to discover what is possible. All filters follow the same structure: ```bash GET /v1/org/employees?filters[updated_at][value]=2022-01-01T00:00:00Z&filters[updated_at][op]=gt ``` # Ordering Some endpoints allow ordering on certain fields. Not all fields are orderable. Refer to specific endpoints to discover what is possible. All ordering follows the same structure: ```bash GET /v1/org/employees?order[field]=updated_at&order[direction]=desc ``` # Data reliability A given piece of data is a snapshot of the latest data fetched from the Vendor. In some cases the data returned by Twine will be out of sync with the Vendor. This is due to the nature of the integration and the data provided by the Vendor. Twine will always strive to provide the most accurate data possible. Depending on the Customer, the data may be updated in near real-time, or with a longer delay. # Permissions All API requests are subject to a permissions check. Permissions are configured by Twine staff or an approved external admin. # Rate limiting The API is not currently rate limited. However, you should expect this to change in the near future. At that time you will start receiving 429 Too Many Requests responses. More information will be provided here when rate limiting is implemented. ## Fetching single resources When requesting single resources with inadequate permissions, you will receive a 403 Forbidden in response. ## Fetching lists of resources When requesting a list of resources, the API will filter out resources you do not have access to. This means that the response may contain fewer resources than requested. The API will always return a 200 OK response, even if the list is empty. # Pushing data NOTE: The API currently only supports the `employee` domain for writing data. There are multiple considerations to take into account when writing data to the API. * In order to write data, the role being used must have the `create` and/or `update` permissions for the `employee` domain. * As per the RESTful API design specs, the `POST` method is used to create new resources, while the `PUT` method is used to update existing resources, and the `PATCH` method is used to partially update existing resources. * Even though `PATCH` will not touch unspecified dated properties, it will still replace all entries of targeted dated properties with the new values provided in the request body. This means that if you want to keep existing historical values for a given dated property, you must include them in the request body. This behaviour can be changed in the future given enough demand. * If there are incoming domain mappings for the `employee` domain, you should avoid updating any properties that are mapped in those integrations. Otherwise there will be uncertainty about which integration is responsible for the data. * If there is a configured `twine` integration with outgoing domain mappings for the `employee` domain, a replication job will be created to push the changes to the configured integration. If you want to avoid this, create a condition in the target integration. # Nomenclature Throughout the API, we use the following terms: | Term | Description | |-------------|-------------| | Customer | The entity on whose behalf Twine processes personnel data | | Vendor | Third party supplier of data with which Twine integrates on behalf of Customer | # FAQ ### Do you have a sandbox environment? Yes. Please contact Twine support to get access. ### Are there webhooks? Not yet, but it is on the roadmap. ### How can I keep the response body small? Use the `select` parameter to only fetch the fields you need. This will reduce the response size and speed up the request. Combine this with filtering by `updated_at` to only fetch the data that has changed since your last request. title: | Twine Public API version: | v1.2 x-logo: altText: Twine Logo backgroundColor: '#00000000' url: >- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63cec8699b6d396be083ed8b/a2746b2d-2582-49f0-93bb-99a8765c5450/LogoTwineHorizontal.png?format=12w servers: - description: Twine Public Production API url: https://api.twine.se variables: {} - description: Twine Public Staging API url: https://api-stage.twine.se variables: {} security: - BearerAuth: [] tags: - description: >+ # Fetching Employees can be retrieved in paginated lists, or one by one.

Fields like `first_name` and `private_id_number` are more or less guaranteed to contain what you expect. However, fields like `phone1`, `phone2` might mean different things depending on the Customer. Some Customers will want to store an employee's private phone number in `phone1`, while others will store the work phone number instead.
