Accountancy practice access and company access in same client?

[Andrew_Stewart]

Hello!

I have an API-client application where FreeAgent users sign up and the application then interacts with their FreeAgent accounts. I believe this is known as “company enabled”.

I can also see from the docs that an API-client application can be “practice enabled”, whereby an accountant signs up to the application and the application then interacts with the accountant’s clients’ FreeAgent accounts.

Is it possible for an API-client application to support both models? I.e. to be both company enabled and practice enabled?

Many thanks,

Andrew Stewart

Ah, I have just found this discussion from five years ago:

Separate oAuth app needed for Partners?

I have an existing oAuth application in your API, “Staffology Payroll” I am now adding support for practices/partners. Do I need to set up a new application specifically for Partners? Or do I use the same one and I’ll be able to find out from the response whether the user authenticated as a standard user (and therefore the subdomain is found at /v2/company) or as a practice (and therefore I have to let the user choose the relevant company from /v2/clients)

Unless the situation has changed, I’ll create a separate API-client app for practices.
