  title: UKG Ready Authentication API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: REST API for the UKG Ready HCM platform.
  description: 'UKG Ready is UKG''s unified Human Capital Management suite for small and

    midmarket organizations. The REST API is tenant-hosted: each customer

    has a unique hostname (https://{hostname}/api). Authentication uses

    OAuth 2.0; clients exchange credentials at the access_token endpoint

    and present the resulting bearer token on subsequent calls.


    This specification documents the public endpoints surfaced in the UKG

    Ready quick-start documentation. Full tenant-specific schemas require

    access to the UKG developer portal.
