Simpro documents a REST API with OAuth 2.0 covering quotes, jobs, schedules, timesheets, and invoices. Registering a partner app requires direct engagement with Simpro's API team. A hard 10 req/sec limit is strictly enforced, and webhooks cover a narrow slice, so most syncs poll.

SCORECARD

ExistenceGOODA documented REST API at developer.simprogroup.com with an active API forum and GitHub code examples.
AccessMIXEDDocs are public, but partner app registration and OAuth client provisioning require manual approval by Simpro's API team.
CoverageGOODQuotes, jobs, schedules, timesheets, invoices, purchase orders, assets, and catalogue items are all covered.
AuthGOODOAuth 2.0 with both Authorization Code and Client Credentials grants supported.
Docs & DXPOORWebhooks cover little beyond invoices and payments, and endpoint relationships needed for reporting are undocumented.
StabilityMIXEDA hard 10 requests/second limit, strictly enforced since April 2025; 429s need app-level queuing and backoff.
Supergood: simPRO has an API, with gaps. We cover what it's missing: stable endpoints, normalized JSON, managed auth.
