Authenticate to the Namely API via OAuth2 and read employee profile data
domain: developers.namely.com · 5 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Register an OAuth application for the customer's Namely tenant
Complete the 3-legged OAuth 2.0 authorization code grant to obtain a bearer token scoped to that company
Call the API using the tenant-specific base URL pattern https://{company}.namely.com/api/v1
Request employee profile fields needed, since the API is REST/JSON over HTTPS only (plain HTTP is refused)
Refresh the OAuth token before expiry to avoid mid-sync auth failures
Known gotchas
The base URL is per-company subdomain, not a single shared API host — a hardcoded host from one customer will not work for another
Namely publishes a 'Supported Features' document listing which capabilities are actually available — confirm an endpoint/field is supported before building against it
