  },
  "summary": "Sympa HR data is automatable through the Sympa Integration API. The public PDF, revision 3.0.4 dated 23 February 2023, says an administrator builds interfaces in sympahr.net under Settings and API. Each interface points at a card base such as employees, and there is no fixed field list. Calls are HTTP GET, POST, and PATCH to a URL such as https://api.sympahr.net/api/testinterface. DELETE is not supported. Responses are JSON. The API implements part of OData 4, including $top, $skip, $orderby, $filter, and $count, plus Sympa parameters since and until. Authentication is either the X-ApiKey header or Basic authentication with the API key as the username and the secret as the password. Metadata is XML at https://api.sympahr.net/api/$metadata, and the service document at https://api.sympahr.net/api is JSON. The PDF says the import side is still under construction and may change. The default limit is 100 requests an hour per interface, shared by GET, POST, and PATCH. Attachment upload is PDF only, about 30 MB, and only when creating a table row. The Swedish integrations page says customers can have Sympa, a partner, or their own team build on the REST API, and it names connections such as Teamtailor, Quinyx, and Power BI. Sign-in is a customer URL beginning with https://www.sympahr.net/. The partner page links a Postman collection. That collection page did not render its requests in this pass, so it is not used for endpoint facts. No Sympa MCP server was established. Zapier, Make, Power Automate, and n8n were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. The API scores 5 because read and configured write calls are documented, while each interface is local, DELETE is absent, and the hourly limit is tight.\n"
