Namely

Namely is a mid-market Human Capital Management (HCM) platform combining HR, payroll, onboarding, benefits administration, time and attendance, performance management and applicant tracking, delivered as a multi-tenant SaaS on customer subdomains. It publishes a public developer portal on Stoplight carrying a Swagger 2.0 contract for its REST API v1 (39 paths, 54 operations, 95 schemas) covering employee profiles, the tenant-specific profile field schema, groups and teams, job titles and tiers, company resources, the social home feed, notifications and reports. Alongside the REST API, Namely runs a SCIM 2.0 provisioning surface acting as the source of record for identity providers such as Okta, and supports SAML 2.0 single sign-on as a service provider. Authentication is either a 3-legged OAuth 2.0 authorization code grant for partner integrations or a Personal Access Token for a customer's own integrations, both minted inside the customer's own tenant. Namely merged into the combined Vensure Employer Solutions / PrismHR organisation in September 2022.

agent aware

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Namely the way a machine reads it — 24 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — Namely scores 56.5/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 25/100 (agent aware). 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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Namely

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Namely. 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.

Namely Comments API

The Comments API from Namely — 3 operation(s) for comments.

Namely Company Info API

The Company Info API from Namely — 1 operation(s) for company info.

Namely Company Resources API

The Company Resources API from Namely — 5 operation(s) for company resources.

Namely Countries API

The Countries API from Namely — 2 operation(s) for countries.

Namely Events API

The Events API from Namely — 2 operation(s) for events.

Namely Groups API

The Groups API from Namely — 3 operation(s) for groups.

Namely Groups & Teams API

The Groups & Teams API from Namely — 7 operation(s) for groups & teams.

Namely Home Feed API

The Home Feed API from Namely — 10 operation(s) for home feed.

Namely Job Tier API

The Job Tier API from Namely — 2 operation(s) for job tier.

Namely Job Title API

The Job Title API from Namely — 2 operation(s) for job title.

Namely Jobs Info API

The Jobs Info API from Namely — 4 operation(s) for jobs info.

Namely Likes API

The Likes API from Namely — 1 operation(s) for likes.

Namely Namely System Info API

Namely Profile Fields API

The Profile Fields API from Namely — 4 operation(s) for profile fields.

Namely Profile Fields Sections API

The Profile Fields Sections API from Namely — 2 operation(s) for profile fields sections.

Namely Profiles API

The Profiles API from Namely — 3 operation(s) for profiles.

Namely Reports API

The Reports API from Namely — 1 operation(s) for reports.

Namely Teams API

The Teams API from Namely — 1 operation(s) for teams.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

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 things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

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.

Security Posture 2

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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Namely, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
