Sesame HR

Sesame HR is an all-in-one HR and time-tracking platform used by small and mid-sized companies across Spain, Latin America, and beyond to manage employees, time clock (check-in / check-out), work hours, shifts and scheduling, vacations, absences and leave, contracts, payroll data, and recruitment. The Sesame Public API (v3) exposes that same functionality over a documented REST interface authenticated with a Bearer API token, letting teams sync HRIS data with payroll and ERP systems, build custom dashboards, and automate onboarding, shift assignment, and absence-approval workflows.

Sesame HR publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Absences and Leave API, Departments and Org API, Employees API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Human Resources, HRIS, Time Tracking, Workforce Management, and Employee Management.

Sesame HR’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 6 more developer resources.
