You can find all the other use cases we have covered for the Namely API along with a comprehensive deep dive on its various aspects like authentication, rate limits etc [here.](/blog/namely-api/) Get Employee Details from Namely API ------------------------------------ ### Overview To retrieve employee details such as first name, last name, and date of birth from the Namely API, you can use the `GET /profiles` endpoint. This endpoint returns all active and inactive employee profiles. Below is a step-by-step guide to achieve this using Python. ### Step-by-Step Guide #### 1. Set Up Your Environment Ensure you have the necessary Python packages installed. You can install the `requests` library using pip: ``` pip install requests ``` #### 2. Define the API Endpoint and Headers Set up the API endpoint and headers, including your API key for authorization. ``` import requests sub_domain = 'your_sub_domain' api_key = 'your_api_key' url = f'https://{sub_domain}.namely.com/api/v1/profiles' headers = { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}' } ``` #### 3. Make the API Request Make a GET request to the Namely API to retrieve the profiles. ``` response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) profiles = response.json().get('profiles', []) ``` #### 4. Extract Required Information Extract the first name, last name, and date of birth from the profiles. ``` employee_details = [] for profile in profiles: first_name = profile.get('first_name') last_name = profile.get('last_name') dob = profile.get('dob') employee_details.append({ 'first_name': first_name, 'last_name': last_name, 'dob': dob }) ``` #### 5. Print or Use the Extracted Data You can now print or use the extracted employee details as needed. ``` for employee in employee_details: print(f"First Name: {employee['first_name']}, Last Name: {employee['last_name']}, Date of Birth: {employee['dob']}") ``` Knit for Namely API Integration ------------------------------- For quick and seamless access to [Namely](/integration/namely/) API, Knit API offers a convenient solution.
