Nmbrs

Nmbrs (Visma Nmbrs) is cloud HR and payroll software for the Netherlands and Sweden, widely used by employers, accountants, and payroll service providers. Nmbrs exposes its HRIS and payroll data through a public API in two generations. The current, forward-looking interface is a REST API served from https://api.nmbrsapp.com, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 (Authorization Code flow via identityservice.nmbrs.com) plus a per-product subscription key, with granular scopes over companies, employees, employments, salaries, wage components, payruns, and absences. The older SOAP API (api.nmbrs.nl/soap/v3 - EmployeeService, CompanyService, DebtorService) remains available for existing integrations but is deprecated and scheduled to be retired on 1 March 2027, after which REST is the only supported API.

Nmbrs publishes 10 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Absences API, Companies API, Employees API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Human Resources, HRIS, Payroll, Employee Management, and Absence Management.

The Nmbrs catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Nmbrs’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, signup flow, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Employment & Payroll 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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
  • Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
  • Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
  • Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
