Oracle Fusion HCM API

Oracle Fusion HCM provides a set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that allow integration with external systems and applications. These APIs enable developers to programmatically interact with Oracle Fusion HCM, retrieve and update data, and perform various HR-related tasks. The Oracle Fusion HCM API set is part of Oracle’s broader Oracle Cloud REST API offerings.

There are different APIs available for different modules and functionalities within Oracle Fusion HCM. Some of the key APIs include:

1. Oracle HCM Cloud REST API: This is the main API that provides access to HCM data and operations. It covers a wide range of HR-related resources, such as employees, jobs, positions, goals, performance reviews, and more.
2. HCM Data Loader (HDL) API: The HDL API is used for bulk data imports and updates into Oracle Fusion HCM. It allows organizations to load large volumes of data, such as employee records, from external sources.
3. HCM Extract API: The HCM Extract API allows developers to create and manage HCM data extracts, which are used to extract specific HR data from Oracle Fusion HCM for external reporting or integration with other systems.
4. HCM Approval Notification API: This API enables integration with external approval systems and provides notifications about approval tasks in Oracle Fusion HCM.
5. HCM Batch Loader API: The Batch Loader API is used to manage and monitor the status of batch data loads.
6. HCM Atom Feed API: The Atom Feed API provides real-time access to HR event data, allowing external systems to subscribe to changes in Oracle Fusion HCM.

Oracle Fusion HCM APIs use standard RESTful principles and are typically accessed using HTTPS requests. They return data in JSON or XML formats, depending on the API and the specific endpoint being used.

Developers can use these APIs to build custom applications, integrate with other HR or business systems, automate HR processes, and retrieve HR data for reporting and analytics. Access to the Oracle Fusion HCM APIs is typically controlled through authentication and authorization mechanisms to ensure data security and compliance. Oracle provides comprehensive documentation and support for developers looking to leverage these APIs in their integrations with Oracle Fusion HCM.
