Connecteam API
Connecteam documents a real REST API with OpenAPI specs covering users, time tracking, scheduling, time off, tasks, payroll, and webhooks. Access is restricted to the Expert plan at $99 per month and up, and a key only reaches the hubs on your plan, so most customers get no API at all.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
