Gusto Embedded Payroll API
The Gusto Embedded Payroll API enables platforms to build and embed modern payroll, benefits, and HR tooling into their own products. The API exposes endpoints for company onboarding, employee and contractor management, payroll runs, tax filings, benefits administration, ACH transactions, and compliance reporting. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0; partners must complete commercial, security, and implementation reviews with Gusto's partnerships team before moving from the demo environment to production.
Gusto Embedded Payroll API is one of 12 APIs that Gusto publishes on the APIs.io network, described by an AsyncAPI event-driven specification.
Tagged areas include Payroll, Employees, Contractors, Companies, and Onboarding. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an AsyncAPI specification, and authentication docs.
Requests are made against the base URL https://api.gusto.com.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Gusto Embedded Payroll API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
