Accessing my own data

1

Dear all,

this is my scenario.
I am a professional developer and I use FreeAgent for my activity.

Due to some limitation to the invoicing part (not fully suitable for
italian invoices) I need to extend this functionality on my own.

The idea is to write a very simple web app, if possible with no backend to
access my data, download projects and contacts and generate the invoice in
the correct format.

How can I get an Auth/Access/refresh code for myself?

Thanks
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Don’t worry, there’s no need for your application to be on the web. It’s
perfectly acceptable to use http://localhost as the OAuth callback URL for
your application.
After successfully authenticating against your FreeAgent account, our API
will return a JSON response containing your access and refresh tokens.
These tokens can be parsed by the localhost and sent in subsequent requests.

I hope this helps!

Thanks but my Application does not have an url since it is not online. So
I could get an auth code for my user, but cannot get an access/refresh code.

You can generate auth/access tokens yourself on the Developer Dashboard:

Hope that helps!
