Every public Paylocity posting, one endpoint - no partner-program approval, no per-tenant integration build.
Why people are confused about the Paylocity API
Paylocity's API is partner-gated. You can read the developer documentation at developer.paylocity.com, but you cannot get credentials without going through the Paylocity Partner Program - and the program requires an active Paylocity customer to sponsor your integration. Independent developers building a jobs aggregator are explicitly out of scope.
Paylocity's recruiting module publishes openings to a customer-branded careers site that embeds Paylocity's careers widget. Like BambooHR, there is no documented public Jobs API - the widget renders postings client-side from an internal JSON endpoint. JobsPipe indexes Paylocity-hosted career sites at scale and serves the data alongside every other source in the same JSON shape.
Months of paperwork, requires a customer sponsor, and the resulting credentials are scoped to per-customer integrations - not aggregation across the Paylocity universe.
Possible. The widget's internal JSON endpoint is undocumented and changes without notice. Expect ongoing maintenance.
Every public Paylocity career site, one endpoint. Free tier covers 5,000 requests/month.
Paylocity API documentation
Paylocity's developer documentation lives at developer.paylocity.com and covers the Integration API - employees, payroll exports, time-and-attendance, recruiting, custom fields. The docs are public but the API itself is not - you need credentials from the Paylocity Partner Program. There is no documented public Jobs API for the aggregator use case. JobsPipe's normalized schema is documented at /docs and uses the same JSON shape across Paylocity, Workday, Greenhouse, and 30+ other sources.
Paylocity API access
Direct API access requires a Paylocity Partner Program agreement. You apply at paylocity.com/partners, name a Paylocity customer who will sponsor your integration, complete a technical review, and receive scoped OAuth credentials for that customer. The model fits a per-customer integration (e.g. you build a recruiting CRM and one Paylocity customer wants to sync candidates) but does not fit multi-tenant aggregation. For cross-tenant Paylocity postings, JobsPipe is the practical answer - no partner agreement, every public career site, one endpoint.
