Integrate Rippling Without an API
Rippling has an API. It’s not publicly available.
API access to Rippling requires applying for and being accepted into Rippling’s partnership program — a process designed for ISVs building approved integrations in the Rippling App Shop. For most teams, that means months of evaluation, a commercial agreement, and ongoing compliance requirements before a single record is accessible programmatically.
For teams that need Rippling data — employee records, payroll summaries, device status, benefits enrollment — without going through the partnership process, Deck provides a direct alternative. Deck connects to Rippling through the web interface, extracting HR and IT data without any partnership agreement, API credentials, or developer setup.
What Deck handles on Rippling
- Employee directory and org chart — pull the full employee list, reporting structure, department assignments, and contact records from any Rippling account
- Payroll data — extract payroll run summaries, pay stubs, compensation records, and tax withholding data for downstream reporting or reconciliation
- Benefits enrollment — retrieve benefits elections, plan details, and enrollment status across health, dental, vision, and ancillary benefit lines
- Device and IT inventory — pull device assignments, MDM status, and software license data from Rippling IT without a separate IT integration
- PTO and time-off records — extract accrual balances, approved leave requests, and time-off history across employees and departments
- Onboarding and offboarding status — track task completion, access provisioning status, and equipment assignments across new hire and departure workflows
