# List Workforce Absences by Employee

> Retrieve every absence and accident record belonging to one own workforce employee

[← Own Workforce API](/api-reference/own-workforce/overview)

Return the absence and accident records of a single employee. The employee id goes in the path, which is what distinguishes this from the organization-wide [List Workforce Absences](/api-reference/own-workforce/list-absences).

<Warning>
  These records are **health data**: sick-leave dates and hours, and the context of workplace accidents, each tied to an identifiable employee. That is special-category personal data under the GDPR. Do not log responses verbatim or cache them in shared stores, and restrict the API keys that can reach this endpoint.
</Warning>

## Request

### Headers

<ParamField header="x-api-key" type="string" required>
  Your API key for authentication

  **Example:** `sk_live_1234567890abcdef`
</ParamField>

<ParamField header="x-organization-id" type="string" required>
  Your organization UUID

  **Example:** `a8315ef3-dd50-43f8-b7ce-d839e68d51fa`
</ParamField>

### Path Parameters

<ParamField path="own_workforce_id" type="string" required>
  Employee UUID, from [List Workforce Employees](/api-reference/own-workforce/list)

  **Example:** `550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000`
</ParamField>

## Response

A bare JSON array with the same fields as [List Workforce Absences](/api-reference/own-workforce/list-absences), including the accident/absence split described there. An employee with no records returns an empty array, not a 404.

## Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
  curl -X GET "https://api.dcycle.io/v1/own_workforce_absenteeisms_accidents/own_workforce/550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000" \
    -H "x-api-key: ${DCYCLE_API_KEY}" \
    -H "x-organization-id: ${DCYCLE_ORG_ID}"
  ```

  ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
  import os

  import requests

  headers = {
      "x-api-key": os.getenv("DCYCLE_API_KEY"),
      "x-organization-id": os.getenv("DCYCLE_ORG_ID"),
  }

  employee_id = "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
  response = requests.get(
      f"https://api.dcycle.io/v1/own_workforce_absenteeisms_accidents/own_workforce/{employee_id}",
      headers=headers,
  )

  for record in response.json():
      kind = "accident" if record["accident_id"] else "absence"
      print(kind, record["accident_date"] or record["absenteeism_start_date"])
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
  const axios = require('axios');

  const headers = {
    'x-api-key': process.env.DCYCLE_API_KEY,
    'x-organization-id': process.env.DCYCLE_ORG_ID
  };

  const employeeId = '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000';

  axios.get(
    `https://api.dcycle.io/v1/own_workforce_absenteeisms_accidents/own_workforce/${employeeId}`,
    { headers }
  )
  .then(({ data }) => {
    data.forEach(record => {
      const kind = record.accident_id ? 'accident' : 'absence';
      console.log(kind, record.accident_date || record.absenteeism_start_date);
    });
  })
  .catch(error => console.error(error));
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Successful Response

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
[
  {
    "id": "6f2c8d13-4a5b-4c6d-9e0f-1a2b3c4d5e6f",

  }
]
```

## Common Errors

### 401 Unauthorized

**Cause:** the key is invalid, or it does not belong to the organization in `x-organization-id` — the two are looked up as a pair. A request carrying no credentials at all answers `AUTH_REQUIRED` instead.

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
{
  "detail": "Invalid API key for organization",
  "code": "INVALID_API_KEY"
}
```

### 403 Forbidden

**Cause:** the key's owner is not an enabled member of the organization in `x-organization-id`.

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
{
  "detail": "Logged User is not Member of Organization",
  "code": "LOGGED_USER_NOT_MEMBER"
}
```

### 404 Not Found

**Cause:** no employee with that id inside your perimeter. An employee owned by another organization answers 404, the same as one that does not exist.

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
{
  "code": "NOT_FOUND",
  "detail": "OwnWorkforceModel with id='550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000' not found"
}
```
