Overview
What is Highwire: Highwire is a contractor risk management and prequalification platform used across the built world and other capital project industries. It evaluates contractors across safety performance, financial health, company capacity, and insurance compliance, then exposes that data through an API designed for ETL workflows and scheduled extraction into operational systems.
How to integrate Highwire with Datagrid
This integration pulls contractor risk and compliance data into Datagrid for agentic processing. The setup includes selecting data objects, authenticating access, and defining the import schedule that fits your workflow.
Set up the integration
Click + Create in the top left of the Datagrid screen
Select Connect Apps
Search for the Highwire integration from the list
Log in with your Highwire account and complete any required authorization prompts. Make sure you have a Personal Access Token (PAT) generated in Highwire under Apps, as required for the integration.
Click Next
Select the Highwire data objects to include in your dataset (for example, Clients and Contractors)
Click Start First Import to begin the initial sync
Authenticate access
The integration uses a Personal Access Token (PAT) generated from your Highwire account settings under the Apps section. During setup, you may also be prompted to log in to Highwire and authorize Datagrid's access. The account generating the token must have permissions to access all projects and contractor data you intend to import. Use a dedicated service account rather than a named user account to prevent token invalidation from personnel changes.
Configure the sync schedule
After the first import, Datagrid can run this integration on a recurring schedule. You can configure daily, weekly, or monthly imports depending on how often your teams need updated contractor data.
Locate your Highwire dataset in the left side panel
Click ... in the top right of the dataset
Click Edit Pipeline to open integration configuration
Click the Schedule button (next to Import Configuration)
Set the frequency (daily, weekly, or monthly), time of day, and optional downtime window
Click Update to save
Review sync details
The list below summarizes how data moves from Highwire into Datagrid and which records are currently available through the integration.
Sync direction: Import only (Highwire → Datagrid)
Data objects: Clients (formerly Hiring Partners) and Contractors (formerly Contracting Partners)
Contractor fields: Qualifications, safety scores, financial scores, insurance status, assessment flags, labor classifications, business classifications
Schedule options: Daily, weekly, or monthly
Additional objects: Projects, Contacts, and Inspections are accessible through the Highwire API but are not yet surfaced in the Datagrid integration. Email support@datagrid.ai to request new endpoints.
Why use Highwire with Datagrid
This integration gives project teams a way to pull contractor risk data into Datagrid and turn it into scheduled, repeatable workflows. Instead of manually checking records across systems, Datagrid's AI agents can monitor compliance, flag missing data, and route updates to the right places.
Automated contractor compliance monitoring: Datagrid can poll Highwire on schedule, detect expired insurance coverage or failed compliance checks, and trigger alerts in email or your project management system without manual data pulls.
Structured data extraction from imported records: Datagrid's AI agents can process imported Highwire data, extract key fields for review and reporting, and validate them against project requirements.
Cross-platform risk data distribution: Contractor safety scores, financial assessments, and insurance status can flow from Highwire into ERP and data warehouse systems, eliminating siloed compliance data.
Agentic processing for imported risk data: Datagrid's agentic workflows process imported Highwire data for reporting, alerting, and routing across downstream systems.
Autonomous report generation: Agents can pull multi-project compliance data from Highwire, assemble formatted risk summaries, and distribute reports on a fully automated schedule.
Conditional assessment data handling: Datagrid agents can account for Highwire's data availability rules, where contractor assessment data (safety scores, financial scores) is only returned when connectionStatus is ACTIVE, and flag incomplete records before they reach downstream systems.
What you can build with Highwire Datagrid integration
Project teams can use this integration to turn imported contractor data into workflows that enforce standards across projects. The examples below show how Datagrid's AI agents can execute review, alerting, and reporting work after each scheduled import:
Contractor assessment review pipeline: Datagrid can process imported contractor assessment data from Highwire, extract structured fields for review, validate them against specific project requirements, and populate your ERP or data warehouse with clean, structured records.
Contractor risk sync to CRM: When a contractor's insurance lapses, risk score changes, or compliance status shifts in Highwire, Datagrid agents can detect the change during scheduled sync and push updates directly to the corresponding vendor record in your CRM.
Cross-project compliance dashboard pipeline: Datagrid agents can pull contractor data across active projects from Highwire, aggregate compliance metrics such as assessment completion percentages, flag counts by severity, and insurance expiration timelines, and push structured outputs to a BI tool or shared dashboard.
Proactive expiration alerting workflow: Agents can compare Highwire insurance expiration dates and assessment flags against configurable thresholds, and route alerts to the responsible project manager via email or a task in your work management system.

Frequently asked questions
What data can I import from Highwire into Datagrid?
The integration imports two data objects: Clients and Contractors. Contractor records include qualifications, safety scores, financial assessments, insurance completion status, assessment flags, labor classifications, and business classifications. Assessment data (safety scores, financial scores) is only included when a contractor's connection Status is ACTIVE. Additional Highwire API objects such as Projects, Contacts, and Inspections are not currently in the Datagrid integration but can be requested by emailing support@datagrid.ai.
How does authentication work for the Highwire integration?
The integration uses a Personal Access Token (PAT) generated from your Highwire account settings under the Apps section. During setup, you may also be prompted to log in to Highwire and authorize Datagrid's access. The Highwire API also supports JWT Bearer Token authentication via POST /v2/token/access, with access tokens valid for 2 hours and refresh tokens valid for 176 hours, per the Highwire API authentication documentation.
What happened to "Hiring Partners" and "Contracting Partners" in Highwire?
Highwire renamed "Hiring Partners" to Clients and "Contracting Partners" to Contractors. The Datagrid integration reflects these current names. The deprecated field contractingPartnerUuid remains in the project-link schema but is replaced by contractorUuid. Details are in the Highwire API reference.
Is the sync real-time or scheduled?
The Datagrid integration operates on a scheduled import cycle: daily, weekly, or monthly. No webhook or push notification support is documented in the official API references, so the integration operates as a polling-based import. Configure your schedule through the Edit Pipeline > Schedule settings in Datagrid.
Can I request additional Highwire data objects in the Datagrid integration?
Yes. The Datagrid integration documentation states: "Don't see endpoints you're looking for? We're always happy to make new endpoints available." Email support@datagrid.ai with the specific endpoints you need.
