Bindbee

Bindbee is a unified API for HRIS, Payroll, ATS and LMS integrations. One integration against Bindbee reaches 67+ third-party HR systems — BambooHR, Workday, ADP, Greenhouse, Lever, Personio, Hibob and the rest — through normalized employee, candidate, job, payroll, time-off and course models, so a B2B software company never builds a one-to-one connector again. Each of its customers' end users authorizes their own system through an embedded link flow and is addressed by a connector token; reads are served from Bindbee's synced copy of the upstream system, refreshed every 24 hours by default, with webhooks for sync and data-change events and a passthrough endpoint for anything the unified model does not cover.

Bindbee publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Candidates API, Departments API, Employees API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include ATS, HR Integration, HRIS, Workforce, and Unified API.

The Bindbee catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Bindbee’s developer surface includes sandbox, code examples, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, signup flow, support, and 38 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/bindbee: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
