Employee API: Retroactive changes not available via API

Hey, 

 

we have been working with Personio for quite some time now and are using the Personio Employee API to retrieve data and currently calculate a “manual” history using dbt snapshots. The reason we do it: there is currently no way (to our knowlege) to retrieve the correct history with the active / effective from dates via API.

Is there any plan or idea if or when the historical employee attributes will become available in an API?

Best, 
Friederike 

 

PS: Using Reports for this purpose is not a scalable solution, because a human then always has to think about creating and sharing the report with the data team. This is not sustainable.

Hey ​@FriederikeThies

you’re right, it’s currently not possible to retrieve historical employee attributes via the API. It is also not on our roadmap for Q3. I would highly recommend that you submit this as a feature request via Support > Share feedback directly in Personio! 😊

Best,
Christoph
