Developer API
Read your organization's time entries, projects, work items and members straight from Hourdeck. Per-org API keys, full & incremental sync, and a rate-limited, read-only surface — built for Power BI, a data warehouse, or your own scripts.
1
Create a key
In the app, open Settings → API keys (admins only). Name your key, set an optional expiry, and copy the secret — it's shown once.
2
Call the API
Send the key as a Bearer token. Every endpoint is read-only and scoped to your organization.
3
Sync smart
Page through everything for a full load, or pass updatedSince for incremental deltas. Store each run's latest updatedAt.
Authenticate
Send your key as a bearer token on every request:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer hd_your_key_here" \
"https://hourdeck.com/api/public/v1/time-entries?pageSize=1000"Incremental sync
Pull only what changed since your last run:
# First run: full load — keep following nextCursor until hasMore is false.
# Next runs: pass updatedSince = the latest updatedAt you saw last time.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer hd_your_key_here" \
"https://hourdeck.com/api/public/v1/time-entries?updatedSince=2026-07-01T00:00:00Z"Endpoints
