How to Register a Workday Developer App and Get OAUTH2/ SOAP Credentials

Registering a Workday Developer App and obtaining OAUTH2/SOAP credentials involves several key steps, including setting up a Client ID and retrieving necessary endpoints. To begin, you must log in to the Workday application and navigate to the "Register API Client" section to configure the client, selecting appropriate grant types and access token types, and providing necessary details such as the Redirection URI and scope. After saving the application, you can access the "View API Clients" section to retrieve the REST API Endpoint, Token Endpoint, and Authorization Endpoint. For legacy OAUTH2 credentials, it's essential to create an Integration System User (ISU) by logging into the Workday tenant, setting up the user account with relevant permissions, and configuring domain security policies. Additionally, accessing the WSDL URL requires navigating through the Workday application to the "Public Web Services" section, where the host URL can be obtained from the Human Resources menu.
