APIs & Webhooks
Connect governed workforce records with controlled APIs and event handoffs.
TEMVERIS is designed around reviewable workforce records and accountable downstream exchanges. API and webhook options, where supported in an approved deployment, should preserve permissions, versions and evidence while the receiving system owns its own decisions.
In short: APIs can connect systems through authorized requests; webhooks can signal defined changes. In TEMVERIS, any such capability is deployment-dependent and must preserve approval, scope, source version and receiving-system accountability.

# Conceptual event — illustrative, not runnable
# Delivery ≠ acknowledgment ≠ applied
Four ways a governed
record can move.
Each mode has different guarantees. Availability depends on your approved deployment.

Pull
API
Authenticated requests
Authorized queries and operations on governed records, within tenant and purpose scopes.

Push
Event notification
Webhooks
Signals that a defined change occurred; the consumer fetches or verifies before acting.

Batch
Structured export
Batch handoff
Validated, approved batches for period-based workflows such as payroll or finance.

Gated
Approved connector
Packaged route
Only where separately published and contracted for your deployment.
Approval comes
before publication.
Source record → approval → version → authorized publication → receipt. The final step belongs to the receiving system.

An approved input with its source.
2. Approval
An authorized decision is recorded.
3. Version
Each change creates a new version.
4. Authorized publication
Only approved, in-scope data is published.
5. Receipt
Returned only by the recipient.
Authenticated · scoped · auditedAuthorized queries — never
fabricated endpoints.
- Authenticated clientsEvery request is tied to an approved client identity.
- Tenant and purpose scopesClients see only the records and fields their purpose allows.
- Deny by defaultUnapproved operations are refused, not silently ignored.
- Version-aware readsResponses identify the record version they describe.
No endpoint paths, hosts or credentials are published on this page.
An event says something
changed. It doesn’t
say it was applied.
Event names, trigger rules and delivery semantics are documented only after approval. Consumers verify signatures, deduplicate and treat events as unordered unless a guarantee is published.
- Sent
- Received
- Acknowledged
- Validated
- Applied
Dashed states are asserted by the consumer, not by TEMVERIS.

Seven states, each with an owner.
Delivered is not acknowledged. Acknowledged is not applied. A correction supersedes — it never silently rewrites.

Least privilege, by design.
Controls are confirmed by the security owner for each deployment. Secrets and payloads never appear in analytics or public pages.
Scopes
Tenant- and purpose-specific; unapproved operations denied.
Secrets
Stored, redacted and rotated within defined boundaries.
Signing
Consumers verify every event before processing.
Replay protection
Timestamps and idempotency limit replays.
Expiry
Credentials and tokens expire on schedule.
Revocation
Access removal takes effect and is logged.

Contracts change on
purpose — and on record.
| Topic | Policy |
|---|---|
| Contract version | Each schema carries an explicit version. |
| Breaking change | Announced, versioned and gated — never silent. |
| Deprecation | Published window before removal. |
| Rollout | Staged by environment with a change log. |
Specific windows and dates are published only once approved.
Every failure has a
defined next step.
Delivery semantics are documented only after approval. Until then, consumers should dedupe and assume unordered delivery.
| Condition | What it means | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Timeout | Unknown whether received | Retry with the same idempotency key |
| Conflict | Newer version exists | Fetch current version before acting |
| Rejected | Consumer declined with reason | Fix mapping or data; resend as new version |
| Unknown | No acknowledgment returned | Treat as unconfirmed; never as success |
| Duplicate | Same event delivered twice | Consumer deduplicates by event ID |
| Backpressure | Consumer is overloaded | Back off; queue; route to dead letter after limit |
