OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: HollyHR API Reference People API
  version: 1.0.0-foundation
  description: Governed Public Preview API with organisation-scoped reads and bounded signed-webhook management available on every plan, and governed programmatic writes included on Standard and above through explicitly selected scopes. This version covers API-key context, people directory sync, safe people setup, conditional setup-field updates, safe lifecycle actions, safe employment writes, canonical org-unit reads and person org links, working-pattern reads and writes, safe time-off writes, time-off sync, public holidays, document metadata sync, reference data, and outbound webhook management. Responses use explicit deny-by-default projections and opaque public ids; person ids are stored random tenant-person identifiers while other resource ids remain encrypted. orgId is always resolved from the bearer key and is never accepted from request input.
