🚀 Tanda API v2

API Endpoint
https://my.tanda.co

Getting Started

Welcome to the Tanda API! This documentation steps you through authenticating to the API, as well as the various endpoints and methods supported.

Not sure where to start? Check out the quick start guide, or browse some code samples on GitHub.

There’s two ways to connect to the API. Use Authorization Code if you’re making an add-on for other Tanda users to use. Use Password if you’re building an integration just for your own account.

Authentication (Authorization Code)

Use Authorization Code authentication if you’re making an add-on for other Tanda customers to use. For example, if you are building an integration that connects your custom reporting platform to Tanda data, you’ll probably want to let lots of Tanda customers use it. This is the approach for you.

First, you should create a new account for your app. Do this by signing up for a new account from the Tanda homepage, then reach out to your Tanda account manager (or developers@tanda.co) and ask for the account to be set up as a developer account.

Once you have a dedicated account, you can get an application ID, secret, and redirect URI. You can get all of these from the applications page. With those details, follow these steps to authenticate a user using the Authorization Code authentication flow.

https://my.tanda.co/api/oauth/authorize?scope=SCOPE1+SCOPE2&client_id=YOUR_APPLICATION_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI&response_type=code

1. Redirect the user to the authorize endpoint

Allow users on your website to authenticate themselves with Tanda by redirecting them to the following URL. Where APPLICATION_ID and REDIRECT_URI are the values specific to your app, and the scope parameter is the relevant Tanda OAuth2 scopes your want access to (more information: Scopes).

2. Catch the request to your redirect URI

The Tanda server will then redirect the request back to your redirect URI, with a request code in the URL parameters. So if your redirect URI is https://mysite.com/callback then the request will be made to https://mysite.com/callback?code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE.

For local testing, as the browser gets redirected to the URI, it is possible to set it to a local address (i.e. http://localhost:3000/callback) to allow you to test your OAuth web app before deploying your code.

curl https://my.tanda.co/api/oauth/token -X POST -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" \
-F "client_id=YOUR_APPLICATION_ID" \
-F "client_secret=YOUR_SECRET" \
-F "code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE" \
-F "redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI" \
-F "grant_type=authorization_code"

3. Make a POST request to the token endpoint

Now that you’ve got your authorization code, you can finally make the POST request to get your access token (don’t worry, this is the last step).

From your server/application make a POST request to https://my.tanda.co/api/oauth/token.

The response should look something like this:

{
  "access_token": "6833b9ecaa84ce420da3cafaa43124d241cb28b5287b72d131f6b38bcb64cd91",
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "expires_in": 7200,
  "refresh_token": "ddeb6480f06247e3635826dd5e3875ece6f64a27044516731a914897431ab446",
  "scope": "me",
  "created_at": 1457304578
}

expires_in is in seconds, so your token will last 2 hours. To learn how to refresh your token, see Refreshing your Token.

Refreshing your Token 

curl https://my.tanda.co/api/oauth/token -X POST -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" \
-F "client_id=YOUR_APPLICATION_ID" \
-F "client_secret=YOUR_SECRET" \
-F "refresh_token=REFRESH_TOKEN" \
-F "redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI" \
-F "grant_type=refresh_token"

If you got your token using the Authorization Code authentication flow, and it expires, then using the the refresh_token you got above, you are able to refresh it by making a POST request to https://my.tanda.co/api/oauth/token.

The response should look something like this:

{
  "access_token": "ddeb6480f06247e3635826dd5e3875ece6f64a27044516731a914897431ab446",
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "expires_in": 7200,
  "refresh_token": "d0692903972ff6559ec5f0e3165cabd5b87f47e3613431ad53805b5397268206",
  "scope": "me",
  "created_at": 1457311778
}

You can now go on using this new access token for another 2 hours.

If your application’s access is revoked by the user, then you will need to run through the authentication process again to obtain a new access token.

Although the tokens only last for 2 hours, you can refresh your token as many times as you want. The refresh token has no expiry but can only be used once.

Authentication (Password)

Use Password authentication if you’re building an integration just for your own account. For example, if you’re building an integration for a specific customer - either as an in-house developer or as a consultant - this is the the approach for you.

If you’re using the API for a single account, the Password authentication flow is an easier way to get set up. You can authenticate via the command line using your Tanda login details, or you can just set up an access token through the Tanda API management page.

Access tokens generated using Password authentication never expire, but can be revoked from the API management page.

1. Make a POST request to the token endpoint 

curl https://my.tanda.co/api/oauth/token -X POST -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" \
-F "username=USER_EMAIL" \
-F "password=USER_PASSWORD" \
-F "scope=SCOPE1 SCOPE2" \
-F "grant_type=password"

From your server/application make a POST request to https://my.tanda.co/api/oauth/token with the user’s email and password.

The response should look something like this:

{
  "access_token": "6833b9ecaa84ce420da3cafaa43124d241cb28b5287b72d131f6b38bcb64cd91",
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "scope": "me",
  "created_at": 1457304578
}

Password authenticated tokens have no expiry. They can also be created and revoked from the access tokens page.

Making Requests

Once either of the above authentication methods have been completed, you’ll have an access token (in the case of Authorization Code authentication, the token will only last for 2 hours).

Your access token will look something like this: 6833b9ecaa84ce420da3cafaa43124d241cb28b5287b72d131f6b38bcb64cd91. From here on out all requests you make to the Tanda v2 API must include the token in the header like so:

curl --header "Authorization: bearer 6833b9ecaa84ce420da3cafaa43124d241cb28b5287b72d131f6b38bcb64cd91" \
https://my.tanda.co/api/v2/users/me
Authorization: bearer 6833b9ecaa84ce420da3cafaa43124d241cb28b5287b72d131f6b38bcb64cd91

See the right hand sidebar for an example of a request that gets information about the user that just authenticated.

Invalid Subscriptions

If you receive a 402 response status with this message:

Your account is locked out for billing purposes, and cannot use the API!

This indicates that the customer’s account does not have a valid credit card or other billing method set, and their free trial has ended. Therefore they will not be able to access some components of Tanda either through the website or the API.

You can query the current user endpoint to check if a user has a valid subscription.

Rate Limiting

If you reach the rate limit, you’ll get the following 429 response:

Headers

X-RateLimit-Limit:       100
X-RateLimit-RateLimited: true
X-RateLimit-Remaining:   0
X-RateLimit-Reset:       1461211225

Body

{
  "error": "API rate limit exceeded!"
}

Requests to the API are rate limited to 100 requests, per 1 minute for each requester.

A requester is defined through the following workflow:

  • Is the request using a Password Access Token?
    • Yes? Then the requester is the current user (meaning all requests made though any of my password tokens are counted together).
    • No? The the requester is the combination of the OAuth app and current user.

When making requests to the API, the following headers will be added to the response:

X-RateLimit-Limit:     100
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 52
X-RateLimit-Reset:     1461211225

  • X-RateLimit-Limit is the your rate limit

  • X-RateLimit-Remaining is the remaining number of requests you can make before you will be rate limited

  • X-RateLimit-Reset is when the rate limit will be reset

If have reached the rate limit, then an additional header will be present:

X-RateLimit-RateLimited: true

Here’s an example to make things a little clearer:

  • I have multiple Password Access Tokens with different scopes, token_1, token_2.

  • I have an OAuth app, which is used by user_1, user_2 and myself.

  • user_2 has also created an OAuth app which I am using.

This is the maximum number of requests that can be made in a single minute:

  • 99 requests with token_1

  • 1 request with token_2 (I have 100 requests/min for all my Password Access Tokens)

  • 100 requests on my behalf through user_2's OAuth app

  • 100 requests on my behalf through my OAuth app

  • 100 requests on user_1's behalf through my OAuth app

  • 100 requests on user_2's behalf through my OAuth app

In summary the distinct requesters in this example are:

  • Me through my Password Access Tokens

  • Me through user_2's OAuth app

  • Me through my OAuth app

  • user_1 through my OAuth app

  • user_2 through my OAuth app

Caching 

curl --header "If-None-Match: 17f1542065ae37d0963a608fd632b4615a288ceb" --header "Authorization: bearer 6833b9ecaa84ce420da3cafaa43124d241cb28b5287b72d131f6b38bcb64cd91" \
https://my.tanda.co/api/v2/users/me

The Tanda API supports the If-None-Match HTTP header. All API responses will include an ETag response header. You can use the value of this header in future requests to the same endpoint by passing it to the If-None-Match request header. If the content the API would return has not changed, you will get back a 304 Not Modified response.

The right sidebar has an example of an ETag being included in a request. For more information about ETags and If-None-Match, see Mozilla’s guide.

Scopes

In both the Authorization Code and Password authentication methods, you are required to include a scope parameter. Here is a complete list of the scopes in the Tanda API, additionally, in this documentation each endpoint specifies which scope/s it requires.

Scope Endpoints Description
me Users, Shift Reminders Access information about the current user
roster Rosters, Schedules, Schedule Swap Plans, Custom Events Manage roster, schedule information, shift swaps and custom events
timesheet Timesheets, Shifts Manage timesheet and shift information
department Locations, Teams (Departments), Shift Details, Custom Events Manage location, department (team), and shift detail information
user Users, Award Tags, Clock Ins Manage personal information about your employees (without wages)
cost Users, Timesheets, Shifts, Rosters, Schedules Mange information about your employee’s wage, and see costs for timesheets and rosters
leave Leave Requests, Leave Balances Manage leave requests and balances
unavailability Unavailability Manage unavailability
datastream Data Streams, Data Stream Joins, Store Stats Manage your data streams and store stats
device Devices, Clock Ins Manage timeclock information, and read clock ins for devices
qualifications Qualifications Manage qualifications
settings Settings, Award Templates Manage account settings and award related configuration
organisation Organisations View & create client organisations
sms SMS Send SMS
personal Personal Details Manage your personal details (without Bank Details, TFN, etc)
financial Personal Details, Users Access financial data about your employees (Bank Details, TFN, etc)
platform Platform Get platform data

Not only will you need the relevant scopes to access the endpoints, but also the correct system permissions in Tanda. For more information see each endpoint group.

By selecting only the bare minimum scopes that your application needs, users will feel more comfortable authorizing your application.

For example: If you had all scopes selected but your application simply collects information about users (using the User endpoint, and user scope) people will question why your application needs to have access to timesheet data (timesheet scope) and will be less likely to approve it.

Dates and Times

All dates in the Tanda API are rendered in YYYY-MM-DD format. Any request you make must use YYYY-MM-DD format for all dates.

All times in the Tanda API are rendered as Unix time, this is to avoid confusion as there can be users with different timezones in the same organisation. A user’s timezone can be retrieved from the both the User endpoint and the Current User endpoint. Any request you make must use Unix time for all times.

Our user guide has more information on working with unix times through the API.

Update Timestamps

As well as the fields listed in the API examples below, every API response will also include an updated_at timestamp. This represents the last time that an object was updated. Like all other times returned by the API, it will be formatted as a Unix timestamp.

Many GET endpoints support an updated_after querystring parameter. Use this to filter results API-side by the updated_at field. Some endpoints also support a show_costs parameter, and return a last_costed_at field. If you pass both show_costs and updated_after, we will compare to both the updated_at and last_costed_at field when filtering.

An example may illustrate this better. Say you have a shift, and at 10am you change its start time. Then, at 11am, costing details for the shift’s employee are changed, which causes the cost of the shift to update. The shift’s updated_at will be 10am, while its last_costed_at will be 11am. If you make a call to the shift GET endpoint with updated_after of 10:30am, the shift will not be returned. But if you include the show_costs parameter when making the call, the shift will be returned since it was last costed after 10:30am.

Audit Trails

Every change made in Tanda through the API is logged and added to the in-Tanda audit trail. By default, changes will be marked as being made by “API v2”, with the user ID that corresponds to the authenticated user. If you’re building an integration that requires more fine tuned auditing (for example, a token is shared by multiple users, but you’re able to identify which user is responsible for a particular action), you can customise the user ID and audit trail name that are displayed. Please contact developers@tanda.co and we can help you set this up.

Code Samples

We have a repository of code samples available on GitHub. There’s also user guides and links to other helpful API information there. Please check it out, contributions are always welcome!

Get Current User
GET/api/v2/users/me

Gets information about the current user (i.e. the user that has been authenticated).

The following fields are returned:

  • id - the user’s unique ID.

  • name - the user’s name.

  • email - the user’s email.

  • photo - if present, a link to a photo of the user.

  • time_zone - the name of the time zone the user is in - uses zone names from the IANA Time Zone Database. See our user guide for more on using times with the Tanda API.

  • utc_offset - the UTC offset for the current user, this can be used as a compliment to the time zone name. See our user guide for more on using times with the Tanda API.

  • organisation - the name of the currently authenticated organisation. A user can belong to one or more organisations. Unless otherwise specified on the individual endpoint, only data from this organisation will be returned by any API calls using the current access token.

  • organisation_id - the ID of the currently authenticated organisation. A user can belong to one or more organisations. Unless otherwise specified on the individual endpoint, only data from this organisation will be returned by any API calls using the current access token.

  • locale - the locale of the user.

  • country - the country the user’s organisation is based in.

  • permissions - The user’s privilege levels in the system, from the set of ['organisation_admin', 'payroll_officer', 'roster_manager', 'manager', 'employee', 'partner'].

  • valid_subscription - If true, the user will be able to access other API endpoints.

  • user_ids - User IDs associated with this user. This array will contain more than one item if the user has multiple profiles. If you want to get all data relating to a person across all their workplaces, use these. If you need to restrict your API call to a specific user, you can use the X-User-Id header and one of these IDs.

  • organisations - Organisations at which this user has profiles, based on user_ids. If your application needs to deal with people who may work at more than one Tanda organisation, you should use this. If you need to restrict your API call to a specific organisation, you can use the X-Organisation-Id header and one of these IDs. Note that a user may have multiple profiles within the same organisation.

This method requires the me scope (see Scopes for more information).

Rosters

Rosters are the container for scheduled shifts, each roster runs for 1 week and contains Schedules. For actual times worked, please see Timesheets or Shifts.

Rosters are not created directly. Instead a roster will be created when creating through the Schedules endpoint.

No special Tanda permissions are required to use the roster endpoint.

Schedules

Schedules represent planned shifts for a user and are contained in a Roster, for actual times worked please see Timesheets or Shifts.

No special Tanda permissions are required to view schedules, however only the schedules that would be visible through the UI are visible through the API.

To create or change schedules, the user must be a team manager, roster manager, or admin. In the case of the team manager, the shift must be for someone in the user’s managed teams.

Employees can only see published schedules. Specifying ids of unpublished schedules, or using the published_only flag will not change this.

Looking to just get the roster for an individual employee? Check out our user guide for a workflow.

Update Schedule
PUT/api/v2/schedules/{id}

Only one of breaks and automatic_break_length can be set to non-null values. If automatic_break_length or breaks is already set, you will not be able to change the other unless the set field is cleared (can be done in the same request by setting the currently set field to null).

This method requires the roster scope (see Scopes for more information).

Timesheets

Timesheets are the container for actual shifts worked, a timesheet can be for a period of 1 or 2 weeks depending on how the organisation pays their staff. Each timesheet contains many Shifts. For rostered times, please see Rosters or Schedules.

Timesheets are not created directly. Instead a timesheet will be created when creating through the Shifts endpoint.

Regular employees can only see their own timesheets, roster managers and admins can see all timesheets, and department managers can only see timesheets for staff that they manage.

All methods require the timesheet scope (see Scopes for more information).

Exporting Timesheets

You can download a timesheet in an export format to be imported into a payroll system by providing the export_format URI parameter. This works with any of the timesheet endpoints.

For example, making a call to /api/v2/timesheets/7007?export_format=myob will return a MYOB-compatible export of the timesheet, and /api/v2/timesheets/on/2016-03-02?export_format=myob will return a MYOB-compatible export of all timesheets for that date range.

By default all timesheets will be returned. Provide the approved_only parameter to limit your export to approved timesheets (this is the default behaviour in the Tanda UI). For example, /api/v2/timesheets/7007?export_format=myob&approved_only=true.

The content-type of these responses will not be application/json as they are for other API calls - it will depend on the export format requested, but will generally be text/plain or text/csv.

Timesheets will have their status set to exported when accessed through this endpoint. If you don’t want this to happen, include the skip_status_update parameter - eg. /api/v2/timesheets/7007?export_format=myob&skip_status_update=true. Alternatively, use the update timesheeet endpoint to reset their status.

Update Timesheet
PUT/api/v2/timesheets/{id}

Use this endpoint to change a timesheet’s status. Three values are accepted: pending, approved, or exported.

If a timesheet is exported it cannot be edited and its costs are locked. If you are exporting data out of timesheets through the API to be costed externally, you should mark those timesheets as exported at that time.

URI Parameters
HideShow
id
number (required) Example: 7007

The id of the timesheet

Shifts

Shifts represent actual times worked for a user and are contained in a Timesheet. For rostered times, please see Rosters or Schedules.

A user can see all the shifts on each timesheet that they can see. Shifts can be created, updated and deleted by staff if they have the ability to see their own timesheets (a system setting). All shifts can be created, updated and deleted by roster managers and admins, and department managers can create, update and delete shifts for staff that they manage.

Get Shifts
GET/api/v2/shifts{?ids,user_ids,from,to,show_costs,show_award_interpretation,report_location_id,platform}

Get multiple shifts by IDs, user IDs, or from/to dates. You need to provide at least one of these parameters (ids, user_ids, or from + to). If you provide more than one, or any of the other parameters below, only shifts that meet all criteria will be returned.

This method requires the timesheet scope (see Scopes for more information).

If you are using show_costs=true or show_award_interpretation=true, the cost scope is also required.

URI Parameters
HideShow
ids
string (optional) Example: 1,2,1337

Comma separated list of shift IDs

user_ids
string (optional) Example: 1,2,123456

Comma separated list of user IDs

from
string (optional) Example: 2016-03-02

From date to lookup shifts in

to
string (optional) Example: 2016-03-02

To date to lookup shifts in

show_costs
boolean (optional) Example: true

Whether to show the costs for the shift (defaults to false)

show_award_interpretation
boolean (optional) Example: true

Whether to show award interpretation for the shifts (defaults to false)

show_notes
boolean (optional) Example: true

Whether to show notes for the shifts (defaults to false)

report_location_id
number (optional) Example: 111

The ID of a location for which to filter shifts to. If provided, only returns shifts if the shifts’s user’s default team (report_department_id) is set, and it is a team within this location. Note that it is possible for a shift’s user’s default location to be different to the location at which a shift was worked. This parameter always filters based on the user. For example if a user can work at locations A and B, they default to A, but work at B, a call with report_location_id=A will return that user’s shifts worked at location B.

platform
boolean (optional) Example: false

If true, Platform data will be returned (defaults to false).

updated_after
number (optional) Example: 1451570400

Time filter to find recently created or modified shifts

Create Shift
POST/api/v2/shifts

Create a shift for a user, with specified times, on a specified date.

This will create a timesheet for the user for the given pay period, if one doesn’t exist already. The shift object that is returned will have both an id (to use for Shift lookups) and a timesheet_id (for Timesheet lookups).

When a shift is created, the times provided for the start, finish, break_start, and break_finish keys will be rounded to the nearest minute. To avoid potentially confusing, you can round them before passing them to the API.

This method requires the timesheet scope (see Scopes for more information).

Update Shift
PUT/api/v2/shifts/{id}

When a shift is updated, the times provided for the start and finish keys will be rounded to the nearest minute. To avoid potentially confusing, you can round them before passing them to the API.

After the parent timesheet to which a shift is attached has been exported, you can no longer update the shift.

This method requires the timesheet scope (see Scopes for more information).

URI Parameters

Get Shift's Applicable Allowances
GET/api/v2/shifts/{id}/applicable_allowances

Our user guide has more information on working with allowances through the API.

Get list of manually applied allowances that can apply to a shift, along with the current amount currently applied to the given shift.

The allowance IDs returned will be the same for all shifts within the organisation, but the values may differ from shift to shift.

Allowances that are configured to apply automatically will not be returned by this endpoint. They will update automatically every time a shift is saved.

This method requires the timesheet scope (see Scopes for more information).

Create User
POST/api/v2/users

Only the name field is required to create a user.

To create a manager, you should provide the IDs of Teams they manage in the managed_department_ids field.

The Tanda API currently requires email addresses to be unique within an organisation when creating a user. However, there is no guarantee that this restriction will exist in the future. If you are creating users via the API you should first GET a list of users and validate that the user you’re creating doesn’t already exist - do not depend on the API to validate this for you.

To skip email validation when creating a user, use skip_validation=true.

This method requires the user scope (see Scopes for more information).

If you plan to assign wage information you will need the cost scope. This includes the employee_id field.

To set financial information, you will need the financial scope.

URI Parameters
HideShow
skip_validation
boolean (optional) Example: true

Skip’s checking if an employee already exists with this email address (defaults to false)

Update User
PUT/api/v2/users/{id}

This method requires the user scope (see Scopes for more information).

If you plan to update wage information you will need the cost scope. This includes the employee_id field.

To set financial information, you will need the financial scope.

The Tanda API currently requires email addresses to be unique within an organisation. However, there is no guarantee that this restriction will exist in the future. If you are updating a user’s email via the API you should first GET a list of users and validate that the email you’re setting isn’t already in use - do not depend on the API to validate this for you.

To skip email validation when creating a user, use skip_validation=true.

If you are attempting to remove a user’s department_ids or managed_department_ids, you should pass null as part of your API call. There is an example in the sidebar.

It’s not possible to remove a user’s passcode. If you pass null as a value for it, the user’s passcode will be regenerated.

URI Parameters
HideShow
id
number (required) Example: 123456

The id of the user

skip_validation
boolean (optional) Example: true

Skip’s checking if an employee already exists with this email address

Get Clocked In Users
GET/api/v2/users/clocked_in

This endpoint is deprecated. You should use /shifts/active instead.

Gets a list of staff who are currently at work. Essentially this looks for valid shifts that have a start time but no end time. The shift’s ID is also returned.

This method requires the user and timesheet scopes (see Scopes for more information).

Create Location
POST/api/v2/locations

Use this endpoint to create a Location object. Location objects should have addresses, but the field is not mandatory - you can create a Location with just a name (though it will not be as useful).

If an address is provided, latitude and longitude are also required.

This method requires the department scope (see Scopes for more information).

Teams (Departments)

Departments are often referred to as Teams inside Tanda. Teams belong to a Location.

Department managers can read and update information about the departments they manage. Admins can CRUD departments. Employees can read the departments that they belong to, with a subset of fields (see below)

The department group / team group Feature needs to be enabled before you can access this field.

Leave Requests

Leave is time formally not worked by an employee, due to things like public holidays, sickness, or by accruing annual leave.

For specifying times when an employee requests not to be rostered, please see Unavailability.

Admins, payroll officers, and roster managers can create, read and update leave requests for all users, and department managers can create, read and update leave requests for users that they manage. Other users are able to create, read and update leave requests for themself. Note that the current user may not update status for their own leave requests unless they are an Admin, payroll officer or roster manager. Deletion of leave requests is not supported.

Create Leave Request
POST/api/v2/leave

Note that a status for a new Leave Request is required. Managers can create approved leave requests for their staff, and themselves if permitted by the organisation settings. Admins can create approved leave requests for all staff. Employees may only create pending leave requests. The server will respond with a 400 when a user creates a leave request violating the above requirements.

Leave request status must be one of: “pending”, “approved”, “rejected”.

When a leave request is created with status “approved”, a Shift will be created for each day the leave request spans, and will be attached to the leave request. If a department_id is passed, these shifts will be categorised with the team corresponding to the department_id. Passing a department_id will have no consequence if the leave request status is “pending” or “rejected”. Note that the department_id will not be returned by the API, since technically it is a property of the shift, not of the leave request.

If you are building a user interface for the creation of leave requests, you might like to use the default hours endpoint to get recommendations for the hours field as the user chooses their dates.

You can attach a file when creating a leave request using the file_id parameter. See the temporary files endpoint for more information. The file should be a JPEG, PNG, GIF, or PDF.

This method requires the leave scope (see Scopes for more information).

New: time fields, and all_day boolean added to leave. Time fields allow leave to apply to a portion of a day, instead of a whole day. The date part of the time fields is not to be used and when returned from the API will always use the ruby default date of 2000-01-01.

Unavailability

Unavailability is an employee’s way to notify the person building the roster that they are not going to be available during a certain time period. Unavailability is most used by casual staff or employees with flexible hours.

For specifying times when an employee formally took time off, or to request time off (most often for part time and full time employees), please see Leave.

If the organisation has unavailability enabled, then all employees can CRUD unavailability about themselves. Roster managers, and admins can CRUD unavailability for everyone and department managers can CRUD unavailability for users they can manage.

Create Unavailability
POST/api/v2/unavailability

This method requires the unavailability scope (see Scopes for more information).

There’s two ways to create unavailabilities: using dates (for all_day events), or using times (for events that don’t go all day).

Regardless of which method you use, you should use the unavailability minimum date from the Settings endpoint to validate your your dates or times locally. If you pass a time that is earlier than the minimum date (in the given user’s time zone), the request will fail.

To create an event using dates, use these parameters. Note that date_from and date_to are inclusive. If you have an unavailability that only goes for one day, they should have the same value. If you have an unavailability that goes for two full days, they should be one day apart, etc.

  • all_day: true

  • user_id - integer

  • title - string

  • repeating - boolean

  • date_from - string, eg “2016-03-15”

  • date_to - string, eg “2016-03-16” - In this example, you will be unavailable on the 15th AND the 16th of March

To create an event using times, use these parameters:

  • all_day: false

  • user_id - integer

  • title - string

  • repeating - boolean

  • start - integer, eg 1459375200

  • finish - integer, eg 1459382400 - In this example, you will be unavailable from 2016-03-30 22:00:00 UTC to 2016-03-31 00:00:00 UTC

You can also use the repeating param to tell an event to repeat. For example:

  • all_day: false

  • user_id - integer

  • title - string

  • repeating - true

  • repeating_info: {"interval": "week","occurrences": 4}

  • start - integer, eg 1494838800

  • finish - integer, eg 1494867600 - In this example, you will be unavailable from 2017-05-15 09:00:00 UTC to 2017-05-15 17:00:00 UTC, and at the same times for the next 3 weeks after (4 weeks total).

There’s more examples in the sidebar. The examples are based on a user in the AEST+10 time zone.

Data Streams

Our user guide has more information on working with data streams through the API.

A data stream is a container for many Store Stats. The data stream specifies the origin of the data, an identifier for the origin (if any), and the interval of the data. All store stats added to a data stream should be totaled data for a time period equal to the data_interval.

Data streams themselves are nice for holding data, but they are made useful by joining them to other objects. See Data Stream Joins for more on how this works. The Data Streams endpoint provides some functionality for quickly creating joins, but you should use the Data Stream Joins endpoint if you need more control over their structure or additional attributes.

Team managers can read data streams that are joined to their team. General managers and payroll officers can read all data streams, and admins can create read and update all data streams.

Create Data Stream
POST/api/v2/datastreams

You cannot create more than one data stream via the API with the same name. If you try to create a data stream with a name that already exists, that data stream will instead be updated and returned (effectively this will function as a PUT request).

The data interval must be either 86400, 3600, 1800, or 900. This corresponds to 1 day, 1 hour, 30 minutes, or 15 minutes.

It’s highly recommended you give a data stream a ‘default_stat_type’. Having this means that when the data stream is joined to locations or teams, the correct data is joined. Without this field you may see some unexpected results. For example, if your data stream houses ‘sales’ and ‘transactions’, and you mainly want to use the ‘sales’ data, you should set the default_stat_type to ‘sales’

This method requires the datastream scope (see Scopes for more information).

Data Stream Joins

Our user guide has more information on working with data streams through the API.

Data Stream Joins connect Data Streams to the object which owns the stream’s data. For example, data from a stream may be relate to a Team, Location, or to the Organisation itself.

If a data stream is joined to the organisation, it will show its store stats in the context of the whole organisation. Similarly, if it is joined to one or many teams, it will show its store stats when looking at stats for each of those teams. Data streams that are joined to a team, but not the organisation, will show their store stats in the context of the teams, but will not show when looking at the organisation as a whole (this is often useful for team specific stats).

Data Stream Joins also connect a single ‘stat_type’ from a data stream. You should specify which stat_type you want to join from the data stream to the Organisation, Location, or Department. For example, your data stream might have both ‘sales’ data and ‘transaction’ data in it. If you want to attach sales data to a team, then you must specify the stat_type_id for sales in the payload.

If you do not specify a stat_type, one will be inferred by what kind of data your datastream has. Eg if your data stream only has sales data in it, the join will automatically be given the sales stat type.

Only admins can manage data stream joins.

As well as managing this relationship, a Data Stream Join can also be given a rostering ratio, which is used to calculate how many staff should be rostered into the join’s object (the “streamable”) based on stream data. For example, a data stream might have a total value of 30 (values themselves are provided using Store Stats) for a half hour period, and the data stream’s join to a team might have a rostering ratio of 8. In this case Tanda would recommend that 4 staff be rostered for that half hour period.

Store Stats

Our user guide has more information on working with data streams through the API.

Store stats are the individual statistics that belong to a Data Stream. All store stats for a data stream should be totaled data for a time period equal to the data stream’s data_interval, starting at the store stat’s time.

Only store stats where the type parameter is equal to “sales” will be displayed on the weekly planner on the dashboard. You’re able to store a wide variety of stats in Tanda, and differentiate them using the type parameter, but be aware of this special case.

Store stats can be read by a user, if that user is able to read the data stream that the store stat belongs to.

Only admins can create store stats. They are able to do this for any data stream.

Create Store Stats for Datastream
POST/api/v2/storestats/for_datastream/{datastream_id}

Store stats can either be posted one at a time, or in bulk. When posting store stats in bulk, all the store stats must be for the same data stream.

To post store stats in bulk, simply represent them all in an array, under the stats key. Note that each combination of time and type must be unique - you must not send duplicate data.

{
  "stats": [
    {
      "time": 1459296900,
      "stat": 3.5,
      "type": "sales"
    },
    {
      "time": 1459297800,
      "stat": 1,
      "type": "transactions"
    }
  ]
}

Store stats will only be able to be created on data streams that were created using the API.

All existing store stats on the data stream within the newly posted store stats’ parameter range will be replaced with the newly posted store stats.

Please see the general Store Stat information above for an example.

This method requires the datastream scope (see Scopes for more information).

Deleting Store Stats

POST https://my.tanda.co/api/v2/storestats/for_datastream

Deleting Store Stats
POST/api/v2/storestats/for_datastream

To remove store stats generated through the API for a time period, you will need to make a POST, and provide store stats with a 0 as the stat for the start and end of that period.

For example, if you wanted to remove sales and transactions store stats for the period of 1459296900 to 1459383300 then posting the following data to the Create Store Stats endpoint would “delete” that data. This is becuase each post actually overrides existing store stat data for the period.

{
  "stats": [
    {
      "time": 1459296900,
      "stat": 0,
      "type": "sales"

Create Store Stats for Multiple Datastreams
POST/api/v2/storestats/for_datastream

Store stats can either be posted one at a time, or in bulk. When posting store stats in bulk, all the store stats must be for the same data stream.

To post store stats in bulk, simply represent them all in an array, with the datastream_id included for each stat. Note that each combination of datastream_id, time and type must be unique - you must not send duplicate data.

{
  "stats": [
    {
      "datastream_id": 123456,
      "time": 1459296900,
      "stat": 7.5,
      "type": "sales"
    },
    {
      "datastream_id": 123456,
      "time": 1459297800,
      "stat": 3,
      "type": "transactions"
    }
    {
      "datastream_id": 123457,
      "time": 1459296900,
      "stat": 3.5,
      "type": "sales"
    },
    {
      "datastream_id": 123457,
      "time": 1459297800,
      "stat": 1,
      "type": "transactions"
    }
  ]
}
