Roosted Launches Expanded REST API and Unified Docs Site at docs.roostedhr.com
Roosted expands its REST API to 100+ endpoints across 14 resource areas and launches docs.roostedhr.com with full API reference and 130+ help center guides.
Roosted now has a unified documentation site at docs.roostedhr.com, combining a comprehensive help center with a full REST API reference. The API has expanded to over 100 endpoints across 14 resource areas, giving staffing companies programmatic access to virtually every part of the platform.
This is the most significant infrastructure update Roosted has shipped to date, and it changes how the platform fits into a staffing company's broader tech stack.
A New Home for Roosted Documentation
Until now, Roosted's product documentation lived in separate locations. Help center articles sat in one place, API specs in another, and getting started guides required extra clicks to track down. That changes with docs.roostedhr.com.
The new site consolidates everything into a single destination. Over 130 help center guides span 19 product areas, including scheduling, workflows, worker management, time tracking, client management, payroll and wages, communication tools, configuration, reviews, documents, and more. Whether you're an operations manager setting up your first event or a developer building a custom integration, the answers live in the same place now.
The API reference sits alongside these guides at version 1.12, so technical teams can move between "how does this feature work?" and "how do I build against it?" without context-switching between tabs.
The Roosted API, Expanded
The expanded REST API covers 14 resource areas with over 100 endpoints. It follows standard REST conventions: JSON request and response payloads, Bearer token authentication, and separate sandbox and production environments for safe development and testing.
Here is what the resource landscape looks like:
Resource Area | What It Covers |
|---|---|
Workers | Full CRUD, availability, permissions, credentials, time punches, shifts, chats, documents, invites, reimbursements, tags, and orderables |
Events | Create, read, update, delete, search, admin assignments, and shift management |
Clients | CRUD, contacts, custom fields, documents, orders, rules, and worker assignments |
Company | Organization info, billing, HR data, billing cards, documents, and integrations |
Time Tracking | Worker time tracking summaries |
Locations | Multi-site location management |
Skillsets | Worker skill tracking and qualification management |
Rate Cards | Pay rate configuration across roles and clients |
Payroll Groups | Payroll rule groupings and calculations |
Venues | Venue-level data for event-based operations |
Wage Rules | Overtime, break, and compliance rule definitions |
Announcements | Platform-wide and targeted communications |
Areas | Sub-location and zone management |
Configuration | System-wide preferences and feature toggles |
Each resource supports the operations you would expect (list, get, create, update, delete where applicable), plus sub-resource endpoints for related data. The Workers resource alone includes endpoints for availability windows, credential records, assigned shifts, time punches, tags, chats, documents, invites, reimbursements, and permission levels. Clients similarly expand into contacts, custom fields, documents, orders, rules, and worker assignments.
Built for Integration
Staffing companies rarely operate on a single platform. Payroll lives in one system, client relationships in another, recruiting in a third. The expanded API is designed to make Roosted the connective layer across those systems.
With programmatic access to workers, events, shifts, time tracking, and client data, teams can build integrations that eliminate manual data entry between Roosted and their payroll provider, HRIS, CRM, or internal tools. Client portals that pull real-time shift data, automated payroll exports, custom reporting dashboards, and worker onboarding flows that sync across systems are all possible now.
Roosted has already put this integration-first approach into practice. The Recruiterflow partnership connects recruiting and scheduling so staffing businesses can move candidates from hire to first shift without switching platforms. The Event Temple integration does the same for venue management, automatically passing event information from Event Temple into Roosted so staffing and HR operations keep moving without duplicate data entry.
These partnerships show what the API enables at scale. If your company has internal tools, a preferred payroll system, or a client-facing portal that needs staffing data, the API gives you direct access to build it.
More Than an API Reference
The docs site is not just for developers. The help center side of docs.roostedhr.com covers over 130 guides organized across 19 product sections, from scheduling and workflows to configuration, communication, payroll, reviews, and troubleshooting.
Operations managers will find step-by-step walkthroughs for calendar views, shift publishing, shift check-in bots, request management, worker onboarding, time punch settings, client portals, and payroll group configuration. These are not generic FAQs. They are detailed, module-specific guides written for the people actually running the platform day to day.
For teams evaluating Roosted, the docs site also serves as a transparency layer. You can see exactly what the platform does, how it is configured, and what is available through the API before you commit. That level of openness is uncommon in the staffing software space.
Getting Started
API access is available to all Roosted customers. To get your API credentials, reach out to support@roostedhr.com. The team will set you up with sandbox access so you can test your integration before going live.
The production base URL is api.roostedhr.com/api/1_12 and the sandbox lives at sandbox.roostedhr.com/api/1_12. Authentication uses a Bearer token in the Authorization header of every request. The Getting Started guide walks you through making your first API call.
