Guides for BambooHR

Step-by-step setup for the most popular AI clients.

Setting up BambooHR

From the connector definition itself: where to find the credentials, what they need to be allowed to do, and which API this adapter talks to.

This connector wraps the BambooHR REST API v1 (per-subdomain — api.bamboohr.com/api/gateway.php/<subdomain>/v1).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to your BambooHR portal → top-right avatar → API Keys → Add a new key.
  2. Note your subdomain (the part before .bamboohr.com) and copy the key.
  3. Set BAMBOOHR_SUBDOMAIN and BAMBOOHR_API_KEY.

Authentication: HTTP Basic — API key as username, literal x as password.

Path subdomain: BambooHR's API embeds the subdomain in the URL path. The adapter substitutes via runtime envVar.

Custom fields: pass fields as comma-separated field IDs (e.g. firstName,lastName,workEmail,jobTitle,supervisor,customField4000010). Without fields, only the basic employee profile is returned.

JSON response: set Accept: application/json (the adapter does this) — otherwise BambooHR returns XML.

Rate limits: not publicly documented; expect 60 req/min as a soft cap. 429 with Retry-After.

Out of scope here: payroll, performance review CRUD, signed-document workflows, the Time Tracking add-on API.
