Integrate Rippling Into Your Product Without an API
The Integration Barrier
Rippling has an API, but access requires applying to Rippling’s partner program and going through a formal approval process. Rippling manages payroll, HR, IT, and app provisioning across a single platform — which means the data is valuable, but the integration barrier is real. By the time you’ve been approved, built the OAuth flow, and handled the data pipeline, you’ve spent weeks on infrastructure rather than product. Deck gives you a single endpoint to pull structured Rippling data for any connected customer account — payroll, headcount, app provisioning, and more — without building the integration yourself.
Workflows Deck Supports

- Download benefits enrollment and deduction details for your benefits platform
- Extract time-off and leave records and sync them to your scheduling or workforce tool
- Pull employee onboarding status and flag incomplete items in your HRIS

FAQ
Does Rippling have a public API?
There’s an API, but getting to it means applying to Rippling’s partner program and waiting for approval. Deck bypasses that requirement entirely.
What Rippling data can Deck extract?
Payroll records, employee profiles, headcount, org structure, app provisioning status, benefits enrollment, and time-off data.
Can Deck handle Rippling’s combined HR, payroll, and IT data?
Yes. Rippling’s value is that everything lives in one place — Deck can pull across those modules in a single session rather than treating them as separate sources.
Does Deck work for products serving multiple Rippling customers?
Each customer account runs in an isolated session. Your product makes one API call per account and gets back clean structured data.
How does Deck handle Rippling’s MFA?
Deck Vault takes care of it automatically. You store the credential once; Deck handles whatever authentication step Rippling presents at login.
