Shift Schedule API

GET /api/integrations/external/shift-schedule/

Returns the position assignments for a given date in the department associated with your API key.

See Basics for the base URL and authentication, and Error Handling for error responses.

Query parameters

Param	Required	Description
`date`	yes	The shift date in `YYYY-MM-DD` (e.g. `2026-05-07`).
`battalion`	conditional	A battalion id (from the Department API) or a 1-based index (`1`, `2`, …), used to filter the results. Required for departments with more than 3 battalions; optional otherwise. See Battalion selection.

Response — `200 OK`

A JSON array. Each item describes one position assignment:

Field	Type	Description
`employeeId`	string	The employee's payroll ID.
`employeeFullName`	string	Full name (`<first> <last>`).
`shiftStart`	string	ISO local-time start, format `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM` (department's local timezone, no zone suffix).
`shiftEnd`	string	ISO local-time end, same format.
`unit`	string	The unit name (e.g. `Engine 1`), or `Floater` when the employee is assigned without a unit.
`stationName`	string	Station name, or empty string for floaters.
`rank`	object \| null	The employee's rank as of the requested `date` (resolved from promotion history), or `null` if the employee has no rank on record.
`rank.code`	string	Short rank code (e.g. `FF`, `CAPT`).
`rank.name`	string	Human-readable rank name (e.g. `Firefighter`).

If there's no shift on the requested date (e.g. a future or past date with no schedule), the endpoint returns 200 OK with an empty array [].

Battalion selection

The battalion query parameter accepts either a battalion id or a 1-based index:

If the value matches the id of one of your department's battalions (see the Department API), it is resolved by id. This is the recommended, unambiguous form.
Otherwise, it is treated as a 1-based index into the department's battalions ordered by their internal sort order.

The two forms never collide: battalion ids are always ≥ 100, while indices are small. If the value is neither a known id nor a valid index, the request returns 400 Bad Request.

Filter semantics when battalion is set:

Assignments where the unit's station belongs to the requested battalion → included.
Assignments on units in other battalions → excluded.
Floaters (assignments without a unit) → always included, regardless of the requested battalion.

When battalion is omitted (allowed only for departments with ≤3 battalions), the response includes every battalion in the department.
