Where to fetch the odata Api for successfactors

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone

I am noob in this area. Actually I am looking for odata based API using which we can pull data on excel or into another portal for analysis purpose. Right now what we have is Successfactors main log in where we just log on and do the regular things.

But if I want to get some odata service for fetching Employee Central tables from the backend what are the steps I should be following to get that API URL ? Any help is appreciated.

Hi Ranajay,

You'll need a service that can call an OData API, such as a middleware platform. You need to construct the API URL yourself. Refer to the OData API reference handbook at http://service.sap.com/sfsf under Foundation

Hi Luke

Thanks for such quick response, I am planning to pull that odata service using a SAP HANA Native App here. The link http://service.sap.com/sfsf under Foundation which you asked me to refer has many pdfs, which one in particular I should refer?

Hi Ranajay,

Look under Foundation and look for OData. Alternatively look at http://help.sap.com/hr_integration

the api still shows cost center as FO. even though it has been moved to generic object. will this be an issue when calling system

Cost Center is still an FO, but it's an FO on MDF. The APIs are adjusted so the customer needs to make no changes.
