Peakon

Peakon (now Workday Peakon Employee Voice) is an employee engagement and experience platform for measuring and improving engagement through continuous surveys, driver analytics, and action-taking. Founded in Copenhagen and backed by Atomico and Balderton Capital, it was acquired by Workday in 2021. Peakon exposes a public REST API (v1.1.0, JSON:API) for reading engagement overviews, drivers, segment and category scores, survey answers, and audits, plus managing employees; it also offers a SCIM 2.0 provisioning API for continuous HRIS-driven user sync. Applications authenticate by exchanging a custom-app access token for a session bearer JWT scoped by per-app permissions.

Peakon publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Actions API, Answers API, Audits API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, Software-as-a-Service, Employee Engagement, Employee Experience, and HR Tech.

Peakon’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, support, and 16 more developer resources.

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.
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/peakon: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
