I’m making progress on an Android client for FreeAgent Central, and was
wondering if there’s currently any way to post multiple records (such as
expense and mileage claims) in a single HTTP request, rather than having to
open a new connection for each record.
Timeslips in my app are cached to a local database so that the user can
choose to upload them to FAC when they have connectivity. I’ve tried
wrapping the XML in a plural node (e.g.
……), but this
returned an HTTP 500 error.
Does the API support this type of post, or is it planned for APIv2?
Thanks!

Yep, I’m putting the same functionality into my app as I find quickly
snapping a receipt and uploading it the easiest way to keep track of things
in FreeAgent.
Happy to add you to the beta list of FreeAgent testers if you wanted to help
test my app instead - let me know your email (email to chris at
plymouthsoftware dot com) and I’ll add you to the list.
Forgot to say on this group. I’m working on an Android app too. Plan is to
keep it simple and to allow entering details of expenses/mileage and taking
pictures of receipts offline (or when connected to the internet), and to
upload/synch saved expenses next time the app is opened with internet
connection. Didn’t realise there was another app being built and if so will
probably stop with that functionality to avoid duplicating work.
Let me know what you’re planning Chris if you don’t mind…
