Steps

  1. Call the List Datasets (v1.2) endpoint to confirm the machine-readable name of the employee dataset available to your API key.
  2. Call GET https://{companyDomain}.bamboohr.com/api/v1_2/datasets/{datasetName}/fields to discover exact field names such as jobInformationReportsTo, supervisorEid, and jobInformationDepartment — these are the fully-qualified dataset names, not the short field names used on the Employee endpoints.
  3. POST to https://{companyDomain}.bamboohr.com/api/v2/datasets/{datasetName}/data with a JSON body listing the fields to return (e.g. eeid, firstName, lastName, jobInformationDepartment, jobInformationReportsTo, supervisorEid).
  4. Use the request's filter (OData-style eq/ne/lt/le/gt/ge/and/or/in) and orderBy fields to scope and sort results; sorted fields must also appear in the fields array.
  5. Paginate with the page/pageSize body fields (pageSize max 1000) and read links/meta (page, pageSize, totalPages, totalItems) in the response to know when to stop.
  6. Join supervisorEid back to eeid across returned rows to reconstruct the manager/report reporting tree, since jobInformationReportsTo returns the supervisor's name rather than a structured hierarchy.
