Hello there,
My accountant has requested that I provide him with all the invoices +
expenses pdfs/pngs on the last day
of each month. I diligently upload images of all expenses, so they are
present as attachment, as for the invoices
I issue, they are of course present as PDFs.
If going the manual route using the web interface, this would require going
through a few clicks for each invoice,
and a few clicks for each expense. This does not scale very well as the
number of receipts and invoices grows.
And so I’m wondering if someone here knows how this can be done with the
API.
This would be a life saver for me.
Cheers
Stephane
Hi Stephane,
You’re in luck, we’ve recently added the ability to download invoice PDFs
via the API. This documentation should help:
You can also download your uploaded attachment from your expenses.
Using the /v2/expenses endpoint, you can enumerate over all of your
expenses, each of which will contain an attachment element, for example:
“attachment”:
https://api.freeagent.com/v2/attachments/3",*
“content_src”:“https://s3.amazonaws.com/freeagent-dev/attachments/1/original.png?AWSAccessKeyId=1K3MW21E6T8KWBY84B02&Expires=1314281186&Signature=GFAKDo%2Bi%2FsUMTYEgg6ZWGysB4k4%3D
https://s3.amazonaws.com/freeagent-dev/attachments/1/original.png?AWSAccessKeyId=1K3MW21E6T8KWBY84B02&Expires=1314281186&Signature=GFAKDo%2Bi%2FsUMTYEgg6ZWGysB4k4%3D”,*
-
"content_type":"image/png",*
-
"file_name":"barcode.png",*
-
"file_size":7673*
-
} *
Following the link to Amazon S3, you’ll be able to re-download your
uploaded attachment file.
I hope this helps!
