​
Creating a HiBob connection

Create the connection by using one of the following methods:

​
Using API Key

To create the connection you need:

  • An API key

​
Obtaining the credentials

  1. Click your profile picture, and then select API access.

  2. Click Generate token.

    Your API token has the same access levels as your HiBob user, for example, if you are an administrator your token will have full access to all APIs. For this reason API tokens are personal and should not be shared.

  3. Copy the generated token.
