What do I need to know about the LabourChart API deprecation?

Background

LabourChart has been integrated with the Procore platform for over two years, providing the functionality for the Resource Planning tool. During this time, a new API has been developed to more seamlessly integrate Resource Planning with the rest of Procore.

Answer

The LabourChart API is being sunset and replaced with Procore's API for Resource Planning. This change allows Procore to deliver enhanced functionality, improve security, and provide greater reliability.

The changes include:

All other functionality will remain the same. The LabourChart API will be officially retired in April 2026.

Transition Steps

To ensure a seamless transition, you will need to take the following steps to update your applications and integrations:

  1. Assess your current use of legacy LabourChart APIs and plan for a transition.
  2. Update your API authentication from LabourChart to Procore.
  3. Update your API calls from labourchart.com to procore.com.

While the legacy APIs will be available until April 2026, we recommend migrating your integrations to the new APIs as soon as possible.
