Hubstaff

Hubstaff is a time tracking and workforce analytics platform for remote, hybrid, and field teams. The Hubstaff API v2 provides read and write access to tracked time (10-minute activity blocks and daily aggregates), time entries, timesheets and approvals, time off, attendance schedules and shifts, organizations, members, teams, projects, tasks, clients, invoices, team payments, screenshots, app and URL usage, and webhooks - authenticated with OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect or personal access tokens.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Hubstaff the way a machine reads it — 27 machine-readable artifacts across 19 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Hubstaff scores 44.6/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Hubstaff

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Hubstaff. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 19

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Hubstaff Activities API

Tracked time as 10-minute activity blocks and daily aggregates, with keyboard/mouse activity percentages.

Hubstaff App & URL Tracking API

Application and URL usage captured while tracking, plus tracking settings.

Hubstaff Attendance API

Expected work shifts (schedules), actual clock-in/clock-out shifts, and holidays.

Hubstaff Client Invoices API

Invoices issued to clients.

Hubstaff Clients API

Clients that projects are billed to.

Hubstaff Invites API

Invite users to an organization.

Hubstaff Members API

Organization membership - list, add, and update members and their pay/bill rates.

Hubstaff Organizations API

Organizations the authenticated user belongs to, plus seat usage.

Hubstaff Projects API

Projects within an organization, including budgets and project members.

Hubstaff Screenshots API

Screenshots captured while tracking time.

Hubstaff Tasks API

Tasks (to-dos) within projects and organizations.

Hubstaff Team Payments API

Payments made to team members (payroll).

Hubstaff Teams API

Teams within an organization and their membership.

Hubstaff Time Edit Logs API

Audit trail of manual time edits.

Hubstaff Time Entries API

Create time entries for a user (manual time via the API).

Hubstaff Time Off API

Time off requests, policies, and balances.

Hubstaff Timesheets API

Timesheet approval records - list and update status (open, submitted, approved, denied).

Hubstaff Users API

The authenticated user and user profiles.

Hubstaff Webhooks API

Webhook subscriptions delivering real-time event notifications (timer.start, timer.stop, task.create, shift.late, etc.).

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

OPEN COLLECTION

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
