Afas

AFAS Software (via Apideck)

Access AFAS Software through Apideck's HRIS unified API — one of 58 HRIS connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to BambooHR, Workday, Deel and 54 other HRIS connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant AFAS Software plumbing.

> Beta connector. AFAS Software is currently in beta on Apideck. Expect partial resource coverage and occasional mapping gaps. Always verify coverage (see below) and fall back to the Proxy API for unsupported operations.

When to use this skill

Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with AFAS Software — for example, "sync employees in AFAS Software" or "list time-off requests in AFAS Software". This skill teaches the agent:

1. Which Apideck unified API covers AFAS Software (HRIS)
2. The correct serviceId to pass on every call (afas)
3. AFAS Software-specific auth and coverage caveats

For the full method surface (parameters, pagination, filtering), use your language SDK skill:

• [apideck-node](../../skills/apideck-node/), [apideck-python](../../skills/apideck-python/), [apideck-dotnet](../../skills/apideck-dotnet/), [apideck-java](../../skills/apideck-java/), [apideck-go](../../skills/apideck-go/), [apideck-php](../../skills/apideck-php/), or [apideck-rest](../../skills/apideck-rest/)

For the raw OpenAPI spec:

• HRIS: https://specs.apideck.com/hris.yml · API Explorer

Minimal example (TypeScript)

import { Apideck } from "@apideck/unify";

const apideck = new Apideck({
  apiKey: process.env.APIDECK_API_KEY,
  appId: process.env.APIDECK_APP_ID,
  consumerId: "your-consumer-id",
});

// List employees in AFAS Software
const { data } = await apideck.hris.employees.list({
  serviceId: "afas",
});

Portable across 58 HRIS connectors

The Apideck HRIS unified API exposes the same methods for every connector in its catalog. Switching from AFAS Software to another HRIS connector is a one-string change — no rewrite, no new SDK.

// Today — AFAS Software
await apideck.hris.employees.list({ serviceId: "afas" });

// Tomorrow — same code, different connector
await apideck.hris.employees.list({ serviceId: "bamboohr" });
await apideck.hris.employees.list({ serviceId: "workday" });

This is the compounding advantage of using Apideck over integrating AFAS Software directly: code against the unified HRIS API once, gain access to every connector in it. New connectors Apideck adds become available to your app without code changes.

Authentication

• Type: API Key
• Managed by: Apideck Vault — the user pastes their AFAS Software API key into the Vault modal; Apideck stores it encrypted and injects it on every request.
• Rotation: if the user rotates their key, they re-enter it in Vault. No code changes needed.

Setup guide: Apideck publishes a step-by-step guide for registering an OAuth app / configuring credentials for AFAS Software — see https://developers.apideck.com/connectors/afas/docs/consumer+connection. Use that as the authoritative source when walking users through connection setup.

See [apideck-best-practices](../../skills/apideck-best-practices/) for Vault setup, connection lifecycle, and handling re-auth flows.

Verifying coverage

Not every HRIS operation is supported by every connector. Always verify before assuming a method works:

curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/connector/connectors/afas' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
  -H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}"

See [apideck-connector-coverage](../../skills/apideck-connector-coverage/) for patterns around UnsupportedOperationError and connector-specific fallbacks.

Escape hatch: Proxy API

When an endpoint isn't covered by the HRIS unified API, use Apideck's Proxy to call AFAS Software directly — Apideck injects auth headers and handles token refresh. Set x-apideck-downstream-url to the target endpoint on AFAS Software's own API:

curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/proxy' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
  -H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}" \
  -H "x-apideck-consumer-id: ${CONSUMER_ID}" \
  -H "x-apideck-service-id: afas" \
  -H "x-apideck-downstream-url: " \
  -H "x-apideck-downstream-method: GET"

See AFAS Software's API docs for available endpoints.
