Overview
What it is
The MINOP Attendance API is MinopCloud’s cloud-based attendance device API. It connects biometric terminals to your own web application through REST endpoints and JSON, so software teams do not have to install device SDKs or middleware on local PCs.
What it is used for
It is aimed at companies and software vendors who run their own HRMS (human resource management system), payroll or ERP (enterprise resource planning) system, such as SAP, Zoho, OpenERP or a custom stack, and want live attendance from biometric hardware.
Key features
- Real-time push of each punch to your callback URL, with user ID, UTC timestamp, punch type and verification type (fingerprint, face, card or palm).
- Temperature and mask status fields where the device supports them.
- Automatic retries until your server returns the expected acknowledgement, to avoid lost or duplicate logs.
- Commands to create users, enrol face templates and delete users remotely across sites.
- Token-based POST requests with JSON payloads.
Buying considerations
Several API operations are marked ‘on request’ on MinopCloud, and custom APIs can be developed, so confirm the exact command set, device models and pricing on the quotation. MinopCloud publishes a separate API price page.
Compatibility and what you need
You need compatible biometric terminals with internet access, a server with an HTTPS callback endpoint that returns the required JSON response, and developer time to integrate.
