This guide is for talent management platforms, skills intelligence tools, and intranet platforms that need to read learning data from their customers’ LMS systems.

​
Overview

As a talent management platform, you typically need to:
  1. Fetch the learning catalog – pull course/program data including title, description, topics, and skills
  2. Pull training history and completions – sync what employees have completed and what skills they’ve acquired
  3. Suggest personalized content – match employees with relevant courses based on skills they want to develop
  4. Deep link to the LMS – send users directly to courses in their LMS

​
Why integrate with customer LMS systems?

  • Personalized recommendations drive upskilling – employees are more likely to develop relevant skills when courses are suggested based on their career goals
  • Single source of truth – your platform becomes the central hub for employee data, including learning history
  • Career paths – show employees what training they need to reach their target roles
  • Visibility of training ROI – stakeholders can see the complete learning journey and skills development

​
Implementation flow

The typical integration flow for talent management platforms:

​
API endpoints you’ll need

EndpointPurpose
GET /lms/coursesFetch the learning catalog with rich metadata
GET /lms/course-progressionsRead training history and completion status
GET /lms/usersSync user profiles and organizational context

​
Step 1: Fetch the learning catalog

Pull the course catalog from your customer’s LMS to understand what training is available: 
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.kombo.dev/v1/lms/courses' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <api_key>' \
  --header 'X-Integration-Id: <integration_id>'
The response includes course metadata like:
  • Title and description
  • URL (for deep linking)
  • Skill assignments
Training libraries can be large. Use pagination and incremental sync strategies to handle high data volumes efficiently. See our fetching data guide for best practices.

​
Step 2: Sync training history and completions

Fetch completion data to understand what each employee has learned: 
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.kombo.dev/v1/lms/course-progressions' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <api_key>' \
  --header 'X-Integration-Id: <integration_id>'
This gives you:
  • Which courses each employee has completed
  • Progress status
  • Completion dates

​
Step 3: Sync user data

Pull user profiles to match learning data with employees in your platform: 
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.kombo.dev/v1/lms/users' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <api_key>' \
  --header 'X-Integration-Id: <integration_id>'
This helps you match users across systems (e.g., using email or remote IDs).

​
Step 4: Build personalized recommendations

With the catalog and completion data, your platform can:
  1. Identify skill gaps - compare completed courses against target role requirements
  2. Recommend relevant training - suggest courses based on career goals
  3. Track learning journeys - visualize progress toward skill development
  4. Generate insights - report on training ROI and skill coverage
