# BambooHR API for AI Agents

BambooHR is the complete HR platform that brings all your employee, payroll, time, and benefit information together in one place, giving you the data accuracy. Call the BambooHR API from the agent stack you already run. Swytchcode supplies the manifest, then handles authentication, retries, idempotency, and validation on every call.

## Use cases

### What can you build with the BambooHR API?

1. Call BambooHR directly from an AI agent without writing custom auth, retry, or error-handling code.
2. Get the right endpoints and call sequence for the workflow you need, instead of having the agent explore the BambooHR API surface.
3. Chain BambooHR with other approved integrations in one workflow, each step validated against your policy before it runs.
4. Give an agent safe read/write access to BambooHR in production, with idempotent retries if a call fails.

## Setup guide

### How to connect the BambooHR API to an AI agent

Four steps, no SDK, no boilerplate. Every BambooHR call routed through Swytchcode is idempotency-keyed and safe to retry.

1. **Install the CLI**  
   Run "npx swytchcode" to install the Swytchcode CLI—no account required to start.

2. **Pull the manifest**  
   Run "swytchcode get bamboohr" to pull the BambooHR API manifest, including its schema and available actions.

3. **Authenticate once**  
   Provide your BambooHR API credentials a single time. Swytchcode stores and refreshes them so your agent never handles raw secrets.

4. **Call it from your agent**  
   Run "swytchcode exec bamboohr.<action> --key value" from any agent or script. No SDK, no framework lock-in.

## Copy
```
swytchcode get bamboohr
swytchcode exec bamboohr.<action> --key value
```
