Hi Fari,
There’s a few changes to your JSON needed:
- For invoices presently only one can be created at a time, so remove
the array surrounding the hash - dated_on needs to be a date and not a time, so remove the time stamp
- You have status twice (although this doesn’t cause a problem).
Invoices can only be created as “Draft” and then have to be marked as sent - You can’t set net_value etc. Instead, create a nested array of
invoice items with price and quantity and the API will fill out net_value,
etc for you. Invoices are created in the same way as in the main app.
For example, using Curl:
curl https://api.sandbox.freeagent.com/v2/invoices
-H “Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXX”
-H “Accept: application/xml”
-H “Content-Type: application/json”
-X POST
-d ‘{
“invoice”: {
“contact”: “https://api.sandbox.freeagent.com/v2/contacts/1”,
“status”: “Draft”,
“dated_on”: “2012-08-16”,
“currency”: “GBP”,
“exchange_rate”: “1.0”,
“comments”: “Added by api”,
“omit_header”: false,
“payment_terms_in_days”: 30,
“invoice_items”: [
{
“description”: “Test InvoiceItem”,
“item_type”: “Hours”,
“price”: “112.0”,
“quantity”: “1.0”
}
]
}
}’
Kind regards,

Hi,
I want to create an invoice for an existing contact, but I can’t. I can
create a project for that contact.$post_cars = ‘{“invoice”:[{“contact”:"
https://api.sandbox.freeagent.com/v2/contacts/385",“status”:“Draft”,“dated_on”:"2012-08-16
10:40
GMT",“currency”:“GBP”,“exchange_rate”:“1.0”,“net_value”:“112.0”,“sales_tax_value”:“22.4”,“total_value”:“134.4”,“paid_value”:“0.0”,“due_value”:“134.4”,“status”:“Open”,“comments”:“Added
by api”,“omit_header”:false,“payment_terms_in_days”:30}]}’;I’ve also tried “/v2/contacts/385”, but no success.
Any help, please?
Thank you,
