In order to link your Humaans.io integration, you will need to generate an API Key.

How to Generate your API Key

Step 1
To generate an API key for a Humaans.io integration, start by logging into the platform.

Step 2
From the sidebar, click the three dots to extend the drop-down menu.
Click API access tokens.

Step 3
Create or edit an existing API Key

  • If you have an existing API key, you can use the edit button to update the scopes on the key. Skip to Step 5

  • If you do not have an existing key, use the "Generate new token" button to create a new key:

Step 4
Configure the scopes you will need for your integration.

At a minimum we will need "View public data" to retrieve basic employee data like name, email, and job title.

  • Enabling "View public and private data" allows us to read information including:

    • gender

    • date of birth

    • country

    • city

    • state

    • zip_code

    • remote_id

    • job_title

    • phone_number

    • email_address

  • If you need compensation data for your integration, enable "View compensations".

  • You can reference the Humaans docs for more details on API key scopes.


Step 5
Be sure to share your Humaans API Key with your HelloTeam representative so that they can complete your authentication.
