How to set up API access in Celery

• Modified on: Mon, 1 Jun, 2026 at 11:03 AM

The Celery API lets other apps (like a time tracking tool) connect to your data. You decide exactly what they can see — nothing more.

For example: a time tracking app only needs basic staff info. It does not need to see salaries or documents. You are in control. 

Turn on the Celery API 

1. Go to Employer → Integrations → General integrations
2. Click on Celery API integration
3. Set Enabled to Yes
4. Save For your developers:
   Once the API is enabled, your developers can find everything they need here:

• API Documentation — how to build and connect integrations → developers.celerypayroll.com/docs
• Developer Portal (My Apps) — manage and register their apps → developers.celerypayroll.com/myapps
