Accessing documentation programmatically

The developer documentation at this website is published as an interactive site. If you need to access the documentation programmatically, via HTTP clients, curl, or any non-browser tooling during development, some pages may return empty HTML with no readable content.

To reference documentation during the implementation phase, you can use these options instead:

Markdown exports: The articles are also available as Markdown by using the same path with a .md suffix (for example, the webhooks guide: https://apidocs.hibob.com/reference/getting-started-webhooks.md). A GET request for these URLs returns Markdown suitable for version control, search, and offline use.
Documentation index: Use the https://apidocs.hibob.com/llms.txt which lists curated links to Markdown versions of guides and reference pages, including webhooks and API definitions. Use it as a stable entry point when you need to discover or bulk-fetch machine-friendly documentation.
OpenAPI definitions: Endpoint and webhook reference pages include the relevant OpenAPI definition in the Markdown version. Use the .md suffix to daccess the authoritative contract (schemas, parameters, and examples).

Test endpoints

You can test the API directly from the "Try It!" option in the interactive API reference guide. This feature helps you understand how the API works and verifies that your parameters and permissions are set correctly.
