API?

I am a Chick-fil-A franchise. Each restaurant may use whatever schedule software they like however Chick-fil-A Inc has a deep integration with Hotschedules (which I dislike). There are couple off 3rd party shift management apps that were designed specifically for swift management in a Chick-fil-A. These apps use a HotSchedules integration that provides scheduling data for each employee allowing the app to assist creating setup/positions for every employee, break management and a lot more.

For franchisees you choose not to use HotSchedules we are unable to use these third-party apps. When I discussed the potential opportunity with these companies, they said for me to contact 7shifts and see if they do third-party APIs so that I can send my scheduling data automatically to the app provider. While it may be possible to send a weekly csv file of my schedule, realistically an API is far more practical. Does 7Shifts offer such APIs?
