API Docsbeta
Please submit all support requests to help@vericlock.com

Overview

The VeriClock API is a RESTful API. All requests are either HTTP GET or POSTs and are directed at the VeriClock API endpoint:
https://api.vericlock.com
Currently all API actions are done in the context of a VeriClock user and are limited and restricted by the users specific set of permissions. For example a user that is an administrator has full API access. A user that is a regular employee will only be able to clock in/out, not be able to create jobs or employees, etc...

Request Format

All API requests must contain the following HTTP Headers:
HeaderDescription of Value
vericlock_api_public_key Your API Public Key in standard guid format: abcd1234-1234-1234-1234-abcd12345678
vericlock_domain The unique part of your access url. If your access URL is:

your_domain.vericlock.com

then the value for vericlock_domain would be

your_domain

Do not include the vericlock.com suffix.
vericlock_authtoken The guid authentication token received after authenticating. This is required for all API routes except authentication itself
vericlock_signature The HMAC signature for the request. See below on how to generate.
content-type application/json - Required only for HTTP POST requests that post a JSON body
All JSON object parameters, unless specified as [Required] can be considered optional and omitted if desired.

VeriClock Signature

The private key is binary
The URI is path of the API call ie. /api/1.0/employee/query 
private function _generateSignature($uri, $privateKey, $bodyStr)
{
    $hashStr = $uri . $bodyStr;
    $sig = hash_hmac('sha256', $hashStr, $privateKey);
    return $sig;
}

Response Format

The HTTP Response code will indicate whether the request was successful or not. 2xx responses indicate success. 4xx responses indicate some sort of user error, and the response JSON object will have more information. 5xx is an error on our side, and again the response JSON object may have additional information.

All content in the response body will be a JSON object related to the API request made. Usually a JSON object or JSON array.
