ADP serves over 1 million businesses worldwide and provides a comprehensive developer platform with REST APIs, SDKs, and marketplace integrations for HCM system connectivity.
Automatic Data Processing (ADP) publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include HCM, HR, Payroll, Benefits, and Workforce Management.
Automatic Data Processing (ADP)’s developer surface includes engineering blog, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, authentication, signup flow, support, and 5 more developer resources.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
