Efficiently interact with the Employment Hero/Key Pay API

Employment Hero SDK

Simple, lightweight and efficient Python client wrapper for interacting with the Employment Hero/Key Pay API. It provides a consistent, chainable interface for both synchronous and asynchronous operations, making it easy to fetch, create, update, and delete resources....

Features

• Simple, Chainable API: Navigate endpoints with intuitive chaining (e.g. client.business("biz123").employees.fetch("emp456")).
• Synchronous and Asynchronous Support: Choose the mode that best fits your application's needs.
• Built-in Pagination: Easily fetch all pages of data using built-in pagination methods.
• Caching: Cache business listings to reduce unnecessary API calls.
• Error Handling: Receive informative exceptions for API errors.
• Throttling: Automatically handle rate limiting and backoff.

Installation

You can install the package directly from PyPI:

pip install employment-hero-sdk

Usage

Synchronous Example

from employment_hero_sdk import EmploymentHeroClient

# Initialize the client with your API key
client = EmploymentHeroClient(api_key="your_api_key")

# Retrieve all available businesses (cached)
businesses = client.business()  # Returns a list of Business objects
for biz in businesses:
    print(biz)

# Retrieve a specific business by ID
biz = client.business("business_id_123")

# Fetch an employee from a specific business
employee = biz.employee("employee_id_456")
print(f"Employee: {employee.full_name}")

Asynchronous Example

import asyncio
from employment_hero_sdk import EmploymentHeroClient

async def main():
    # Initialize the client with your API key
    client = EmploymentHeroClient(api_key="your_api_key")
    
    # Retrieve all available businesses asynchronously
    businesses = await client.business()  # Returns a list of Business objects
    for biz in businesses:
        print(biz)
    
    # Retrieve a specific business by ID asynchronously
    biz = await client.business("business_id_123")
    
    # Fetch an employee from the specific business asynchronously
    employee = await biz.employee("employee_id_456")
    print(f"Employee: {employee.full_name}")

asyncio.run(main())

Dynamic Paths

We also dynamically load paths if there isn't an api model for the path, which will return data if the path exists.

The data can be returned as a list of dictionaries or as a pandas DataFrame if dataframe=True is passed as a keyword argument.

import datetime
from employment_hero_sdk import EmploymentHeroClient

EMPLOYMENT_HERO_API_KEY = "api_key"

client = EmploymentHeroClient(api_key=EMPLOYMENT_HERO_API_KEY)

for business in client.business().values():
    print(business.show())
    for employee in business.employee():
        print(employee.show())
        opening_balances = employee.openingbalances() #/api/v2/business/{busness_id}/employee/{employee_id}/openingbalances is a valid path
        print(opening_balances)
        break

    # or snake case will split into a path e.g. report_birthday -> report/birthday?{kwargs}
    birthday_report = business.report_birthday(fromDate=datetime.date(day=1, month=1, year=2025), toDate=datetime.date.today())

    # or include dataframe=True to return a pandas dataframe
    timesheet_report_df = business.report_timesheet(
        dataframe=True,
        **{
            'request.fromDate': datetime.date(day=1, month=1, year=2025), 
            'request.toDate': datetime.date.today()
        }
    )
