🔍 What is the Didask public API?
The Didask public API is a gateway that lets external tools (like an HRIS, ERP, or LMS) connect and communicate with Didask automatically.
In plain terms, it lets you:
Create or update learner accounts in Didask directly from another tool
Automatically assign learning paths to users
Pull usage data (like completion rates or time spent) into your own dashboards
This saves time, reduces manual work, and brings learning seamlessly into the tools your team already uses.
🎁 The public API is included in your Didask license at no extra cost
You can start using it whenever you're ready.
That said, building the connector is your team's responsibility.
💡 What's a connector? A connector is a small piece of software or script that acts as a bridge between two systems. It reads and writes data between your internal tools (like your HRIS) and Didask, through the API.
If you'd like Didask to design, deploy, and maintain this connector for you, get in touch with your Key Account Manager to explore custom implementation options.
🧭 When does the public API come in handy?
Here are some of the most common use cases:
🔄 Automatically create learner accounts from your HRIS or ERP.
For example, when a new employee is added to your HR system, the API can automatically create their Didask account.
📤 Push progress data back to your systems.
For example, if you use Salesforce to track skills development, the API can automatically send Didask completion rates to your HR dashboards.
🧩 Surface Didask content inside your internal apps.
For example, if you have an employee portal, the API lets you display each user's Didask learning paths directly, without them needing to log in separately.
🧮 Automate targeted training assignments.
For example, when a new employee joins, the API can automatically assign them your onboarding learning path.

🚀 Getting started: How to generate your API key
Your API key is provided by your platform admin (see screenshot below). It secures all communication between your systems and Didask.
The full key value is only shown once at creation. After that, only its fingerprint is stored, which is used solely to identify the key owner.
