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 API contracts indexed 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 engineering blog, authentication, documentation, and 7 more developer resources.

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 could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% 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):

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)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
