The Honestly Export API gives data teams, BI analysts, and HR analytics professionals programmatic access to the employee engagement data collected by Honestly. Instead of relying on manual exports or one-off reports, you can stream survey results, employee records, and aggregated scores directly into your own data warehouse or analytics platform — keeping your internal systems in sync with the engagement data your organisation depends on.

​
What you can export

Surveys

Retrieve all surveys, their status, schedule, and metadata to understand the full landscape of engagement programmes running in your organisation.

Questions

Access individual questions across surveys, including question text and structure, so you can map responses back to the specific prompts that generated them.

Employees

Retrieve employee records and roles to enrich your engagement data with workforce context and enable segmentation in downstream reporting.

Survey Assignments

See which employees are assigned to which surveys, so you can reconcile participation rates and understand coverage across teams and cohorts.

Scores

Pull aggregated, anonymity-protected engagement scores that summarise sentiment across your workforce without exposing individual responses.

Initiatives

List the initiatives (action items) teams derive from survey results, including their status, linked survey and questions, and assignee.

​
Key capabilities

The Honestly Export API is designed for reliable, large-scale data extraction. All list endpoints support offset-based pagination, so you can walk through thousands of records in controlled batches without risk of timeouts or memory pressure. Every request is authenticated via a simple API key passed in the X-Api-Key request header, making it straightforward to integrate with scripts, ETL pipelines, and BI tools. The API follows a backward-compatible versioning policy, meaning existing integrations will not break when non-breaking fields or endpoints are added. Date and time parameters conform to RFC 3339 formatting throughout, ensuring consistent handling across time zones and downstream systems.
To get started, you’ll need an API key. See Authentication for details.
