Dayforce

Integrate your application with the Dayforce API

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Dayforce with Nango and see data flow in 2 minutes.

1. Create the integration

   In Nango (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> Dayforce.

2. Authorize Dayforce

   Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then enter your Company ID, Username, and Password (and optional Client host / Identity host for test). Later, you’ll let your users do the same directly from your app.

3. Call the Dayforce API

   Replace the placeholders below with your secret key, integration ID, connection ID, and your Company ID from the connection config:

   cURL

   curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/api/{connectionConfig.companyId}/v1/employees" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
     -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
     -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
   

   Node

   Install Nango’s backend SDK with npm i @nangohq/node. Then run (get companyId from the connection config via getConnection):

   import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';
   
   const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<NANGO-SECRET-KEY>' });
   
   const connection = await nango.getConnection('<INTEGRATION-ID>', '<CONNECTION-ID>');
   const companyId = connection.connection_config?.companyId as string;
   
   const res = await nango.get({
       endpoint: `/api/${companyId}/v1/employees`,
       providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
       connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
   });
   
   console.log(res.data);
   

   Or fetch credentials with the Node SDK or API.

   ✅ You’re connected! Check the Logs tab in Nango to inspect requests.
