Paycor REST Connector

API Documentation

The vendor API reference covers this connector’s endpoints.

Paycor Setup

The Paycor API Application and Initiation process is a little more involved than other REST providers. Please be sure to go through the steps outlined on their Quick Start Page

Key values you must capture are:

• Application OAuth Client ID
• Application OAuth Client Secret
• APIm Subscription Key
• Scope Key of current application version

Caution

Do not forget to “activate” the application to allow use

Activate it here, choosing Production or Sandbox depending on your need:

Environment	Activation Form URL
Sandbox	https://hcm-demo.paycor.com/AppActivation/ClientActivation
Production	https://hcm.paycor.com/AppActivation/ClientActivation

Danger

If you have multiple organizations in Paycor, you will need separate logins for each organization. DO NOT merge them. The Developer Portal needs a dedicated unique login for each organization in order to create an organization specific Application for REST access.
