RemoFirst Install Auth

Overview

Set up RemoFirst API authentication for global HR and payroll integration. RemoFirst provides API access for enterprise customers.

Prerequisites

• RemoFirst enterprise account
• API credentials from RemoFirst support team
• Node.js 18+ or Python 3.9+

Instructions

Step 1: Get API Credentials

1. Contact RemoFirst support for API access
2. Receive API key and base URL
3. Note: Sandbox environment available for testing

Step 2: Configure Environment

# .env
REMOFIRST_API_KEY=your_api_key
REMOFIRST_BASE_URL=https://api.remofirst.com/v1

Step 3: Initialize Client

import os, requests

class RemoFirstClient:
    def __init__(self):
        self.base_url = os.environ["REMOFIRST_BASE_URL"]
        self.headers = {
            "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['REMOFIRST_API_KEY']}",
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
        }

    def get(self, path, params=None):
        resp = requests.get(f"{self.base_url}{path}", headers=self.headers, params=params)
        resp.raise_for_status()
        return resp.json()

    def post(self, path, data):
        resp = requests.post(f"{self.base_url}{path}", headers=self.headers, json=data)
        resp.raise_for_status()
        return resp.json()

client = RemoFirstClient()

Step 4: Verify Connection

company = client.get("/company")
print(f"Connected! Company: {company['name']}")
print(f"Countries: {len(company.get('active_countries', []))}")

Output

• API credentials configured
• Client initialized with authentication
• Connection verified
