HiBob authentication guide

How to authenticate HiBob for use with Tines Stories.

Written by Daniel Stoeski

HiBob built its HR management solution to help fast-growing companies attract, retain, and engage the modern workforce.

Note: As of October 31st, 2024, HiBob no longer supports personal API Access tokens. Instead, you'll create a service user and generate a token for it. Read more in their docs here.

First, create a HiBob service user and token

  1. Login to your HiBob account at https://app.hibob.com/login/

  2. Follow the steps in the API service users page in the HiBob developer docs here. You'll need to:

    1. Create a service user

    2. Create a permission group

    3. Set permissions

    4. Test

    5. Authenticate your requests

Lastly, create a HiBob credential in Tines Stories

  1. Login to your Tines Stories tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "Text"

  4. Input the values for the HiBob credential

    1. Name: HiBob

    2. Description: Optional

    3. Value: Your service user token

  5. Optional

    1. URLs and Domains: Ensure this credential can only be used when making HTTP requests to specific domains. Example: https://api.hibob.com/v1/* - This is not a clickable link but can be used in this section of the credential if applicable.

    2. User ID: This can be saved in the credential under metadata

    3. Access: What other teams can also use the API

  6. Click "Save"
