Personio is proud to announce the General Availability of our Person & Employment v2 APIs (https://developer.personio.de/v2.0/reference/get_v2-persons and https://developer.personio.de/v2.0/reference/get_v2-persons-person-id-employments) for use by all our customers and partners

Personio has released a GET Org Units endpoint that enables users to retrieve details about their organizational structure programmatically via the Public API (https://developer.personio.de/v2.0/reference/getorgunit-1). This endpoint also allows for optional retrieval of a particular Org Unit's parent chain via a query parameter

Personio is releasing two new endpoints for programmatic retrieval of Legal Entity information from Personio i.e. List Legal Entities and Get Legal Entity information (https://developer.personio.de/v2.0/reference/listlegalentities). The List endpoint can be filtered by country as well as by a specific Legal Entity ID and uses cursor-paged pagination

In order to provide our customers with full visibility and transparency on the status of their webhook deliveries, Personio is releasing a GET Delivery Activity endpoint (https://developer.personio.de/v2.0/reference/get_v2-webhooks-id-activity) which accepts a webhook ID as the input and allows for tracking webhook delivery attempts upto 30 days in the past, from the current date. Additionally, date and status query parameters allow for fine-grained troubleshooting and isolation of specific webhook deliveries.

In order to provide our API users with OAuth2.0 compliant authentication standards, we are introducing a "Token Revocation" endpoint (https://developer.personio.de/v2.0/reference/post_v2-auth-revoke) that accepts a bearer token as the input parameter and invalidates it.

In the interests of serving all our customers with a consistent and performant API, we will be introducing a query timeframe on the v1 GET attendances endpoint which would range from '1970-01-01' to 'D' + 10 years, where 'D' is the current date. This change will come into effect incrementally from 29 July 2024 to August 5, 2024 and any requests that exceed the query timeframes mentioned above will not be honoured after August 5, 2024

In order to provide greater control and flexibility to our customers and partners, we have enhanced the heretofore limitations on the POST Compensations API endpoint (https://developer.personio.de/v2.0/reference/post_v2-compensations) to allow API credentials with the appropriate scope to create compensation values. The API documentation has also been updated to reflect the removal of restrictions

In order to provide our customers and partners with a reliable and performant API, we have instituted a rate limit of 2000 requests per min, based on the IP address of the requester. We have also updated our API TOS here: https://developer.personio.de/docs/tos-api-security-1 in the interests of complete transparency

As of 24 June, 2024 Personio Webhooks will have an extended retry policy for all current and future webhooks. The number of retries has been increased from 2 to 6 and the time window of retries is extended from 120 seconds to 6 days. More info here, in the 'Retries' section: https://developer.personio.de/v2.0/reference/webhooks

We are adding a UI filtering component to our API credentials page, that allows users of the Compensation API to specify the Legal Entities for whom Compensation data should be returned only when a GET call is made to the Compensations API endpoint. Please note that the UI filter will override Legal Entity values specified in the query parameter of the GET call and that the filter only applies to the GET API endpoint's response payloads.
