What Are Workday® Web Services?

 
 

Web services are a standard way to communicate between applications over the internet. Workday provides a web services application programming interface (API) that enables third-party integrations with the Workday platform. The Workday API uses XML (extensible markup language) as its communication format.

You can use Workday Web Services to create custom integrations with the Workday platform. These integrations can be used to automate business processes or exchange data between Workday and other applications. The Workday API is a robust and well-documented interface that enables you to create integrations that are tailored to your specific needs. In this article, we will provide an overview of Workday Web Services and explain how they can be used.

Workday Integrations

Workday Web Services provide a powerful way to integrate Workday with applications and business processes. These services enable you to easily connect Workday to any application or process, making it easier to automate business tasks and facilitate data exchange. The Workday API provides a wide range of services, including the ability to submit and manage requests, get employee information, manage timesheets and expenses, and generate reports. The Workday API is also highly extensible and can be used to develop custom integrations with other applications or services. For example, you can use the Workday API to create integrations with customer relationship management (CRM) applications, payroll and HR services, or other systems that your business may use. 

Workday Standards

Workday Web Services are built on standardized protocols and use generally available open technologies and standards such as XML, SOAP (simple object access protocol), web services description language (WSDL), and secure communication protocols. These open standards allow for integration with a wide range of applications and services, making them easy to integrate with existing systems and applications. These technologies also make Workday Web Services more secure and reliable, ensuring that integrations remain secure and data is not compromised. 

Workday Documentation

Workday ensures that its web services are well-documented and provides comprehensive documentation for all of its web services. This includes detailed descriptions of the services, examples of how to use them, and sample code for common use cases. Workday also provides an SDK (software development kit) that can be used to quickly and easily create integrations. The Workday SDK provides comprehensive libraries, tutorials, and other resources to help developers create custom integrations with the Workday platform.
