Remote

Remote is a global HR platform for hiring, paying, and managing employees and contractors across 60+ countries. Its Employer of Record (EOR), global payroll, contractor management, benefits, and compliance products are exposed through the Remote API — a RESTful, JSON-only, OAuth 2.0-protected API that gives partners and customers programmatic access to onboarding, employments, contracts, time off, expenses, incentives, payroll, invoices, and offboarding. The developer surface includes a downloadable OpenAPI, HMAC-signed webhooks, a sandbox environment, the Remote Flows embeddable SDK, and a hosted MCP server.

Remote publishes 14 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Benefits API, Billing API, Companies API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Company, HR, Payroll, Employer of Record, and Global Employment.

The Remote catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Remote’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 28 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
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/remote: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
