Integration: Getting Started with the Trakstar Perform API
The Perform API makes integrating other applications with Trakstar Perform easy, managing user information across platforms and retrieving useful review data programmatically.
The Perform API is entirely self-service. Should you have any general questions, our support team is happy to answer them via email. The API's execution, build, and maintenance will be entirely on your side.
Modify and Access
The Trakstar Perform API can programmatically manage shared resources inside your account. Our API follows industry best practices, guaranteeing a predictable and intuitive interface for how we format responses, parse parameters, and support features like pagination, filtering, and more. For more details, please visit our technical API Documentation.
Use Cases
The most common reason people use the Trakstar Perform API is to sync user data across systems. This allows Perform to sync with your “System of Record” for employee data always to have an up-to-date employee list – cutting down on your team’s system maintenance.
We also see the API used to retrieve overall review details for populating in other systems or automating any repetitive tasks.

Getting Started
Step 1: Navigate to the ‘API Access’ page within the Settings tab on the left:
Step 2: Here, you may choose to manage or grant API keys to administrator users within Perform. Choose ‘Grant Access’ in the upper right:
Step 3: Choose the user(s) you want to create an API key. This list will only include Administrators and Site Administrators, so you may wish to change a user’s role to grant API access. These users should have the technical knowledge to leverage API capabilities:
Step 4: Each user will be granted a unique API key. The full API key will be displayed only once but must utilize Perform’s API. Be sure to download or save this information to share it with this user for access to the API:
Step 5: This user may use their unique API key to access Trakstar Perform information and configure programmatic actions connected to other systems. Be sure to share the technical API Documentation for complete information when using the Trakstar Perform API.
