As discussed in some other threads we do have a feature request to allow
sorting and ordering in the API. If you aren’t aware we recently introduced
a FreeAgent API Trello board to give better visibility of what we’re
working on and to better gauge what the most in-demand features are. You’ll
notice that sorting and ordering is one of the cards on the board.

For future reference the pagination information is included in the Link
header of the response (

Vipul,

Glad the reply was helpful and sorry for not fully answering your
question.

Could you clarify whether you want to get the last invoice created or
the last invoice reference? How were you planning on using the invoice
reference? Are you aware that there are different types of invoice
referencing schemes that FreeAgent support
http://www.freeagent.com/support/kb/invoicing/invoice-numbering-schemes so
depending on how you plan to use the last invoice reference depends on the
correct way to get the last invoice reference.

The best way to get the last invoice created is the following:

  1. Make a GET request to https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices.
  2. Inspect the pagination headers to find the last page url (
    FreeAgent Developer Dashboard).
  3. Make a further GET request to
    https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices?page=X&per_page=Y replacing X
    and Y with the right values.
  4. The last created invoice should be the last invoice in the return
    JSON array.

Hi murray,

Thanks for helpful reply, but my question is still the same,

that is a paid invoice or open / overdue / draft /cancelled.

any tag or option for this?

Thanks for getting in touch.

The reason you are receiving a 406 is your request is malformed. The
request you are making is:

https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices?view=recent_open_or_overdue?

Notice the extra question mark at the end of the URI. Instead this
should be:

https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices?view=recent_open_or_overdue?
https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices?view=recent_open_or_overdue

https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices?view=recent_open_or_overdue?

Removing that extra question mark should allow you to retrieve recent
open or overdue invoices.

Vipul,

You are indeed correct that you pass header parameters when making your
requests, however when you get a response from us we include response
headers, one of which is the Link header for pagination. The link header
looks like the following:

Link:
https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices?page=4&per_page=50; rel=“prev”,
https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices?page=6&per_page=50; rel=“next”,
https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices?page=1&per_page=50; rel=“first”,
https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices?page=10&per_page=50; rel=“last”

The total number of pages can be found out by inspecting the link
associated to rel=“last”. In the above example it would be:

https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices?page=10&per_page=50; rel=“last”

The number of records can then be calculated by doing some maths.

May I suggest you use the Google OAuth2 Playground and make some requests
so you can see the full response with the headers?

Cheers,

Hi Murray,

I need to get the last invoice reference no. for making new invoice with
next sequence invoice reference no. and This is a long way you are
suggesting,
Can’t we get the invoices, as “OrderBy” =>“DESC”.
It would be really helpful for me, as am using this functionality in
back-end process, and will make my page very slow.On Thursday, 5 June 2014 17:16:47 UTC+5:30, Murray Summers wrote:
