Hi @ammar,
as the feature is quite new, currently it is not possible to retrieve hourly absences through the API, but the product team is already validating this idea.
Best regards
Marc
Hey @ammar! Happy to let you know that you can now read hourly absences (in a daily breakdown format) through the API with /absence-periods. You can learn more through the documentation here.
If you have any feedback about the new endpoint, please let us know.
@Charlotte W. that’s cool, but if I want to have a list of such absences in my local database, do I have to delete and insert ALL of the records? Is there a more reasonable way for know if an absence entry is still valid or if it has been deleted then deleting all and inserting all?
@ammar We don’t return deleted absence periods in any of the endpoints (daily or hourly). In order to cross-compare whether a period exists, you can use the period ID.

But in order to compare, I need to retrieve ALL the records for the period I want to cross-compare, right?
Any plans to upgrade the API/endpoint to differential method? It would also help your hardware load, as people wouldn’t have to retrieve all the data multiple times a day, just to find out if a record has been deleted.
Any news about “soft-delete” or “archived” TimeOff’s? The “/company/absence-periods” Endpoint does not work as well?
