I’ve been trying to add a line item to an invoice that already exists as a
draft.
From the docs, I’m sending a PUT to
https://api.sandbox.freeagent.com/v2/invoices/xxx
I’ve constructed an item array:
$line = array(
‘position’ => ‘1000’,
‘quantity’ => ‘1’,
‘item_type’ => ‘Expenses’,
‘price’ => ‘14.97’,
‘description’ => ‘Credit card convenience fee’
);
Then an items array, and add the item to it.
$items = array();
$items[] = $line;
Then the parameter array has the invoice items added:
array(‘invoice_items’ => $items);
This gets PUT to the endpoint, and I get a 200 response back, but the item
is not added.
Any ideas?
This isn’t possible at the moment, so you will have to keep track of the
deletions at least. Then you can just send DELETE requests to
/v2/invoice_items/xxx for each line item you wish to delete.
Cheers,

If I have an invoice with 3 lines, and update it (download the
invoice, make changes, upload it (PUT?)) to only have 2 (eg, remove 2,
add one), then I have 4 lines (the original 3, plus the new one)
I “solved it” by deleting the old invoice and creating a new one,
which feels wrong. Tracking each line isn’t really practical.

Thanks. I actually saw that and tried it, which returned a 500. Is there
anything else that needs to be included in the invoice array, or in the
line items that I’m missing?On Wednesday, July 31, 2013 9:11:41 AM UTC-4, Ioan Serban wrote:

Thanks. I have it working now so that it deletes all the old lines and
posts the invoice as an update (with lines)
mobileAgent 2.1.1 I think 
BTW, the docs for the invoice page is all over the place. refers to
estimates in one URL, the “id” property for each invoice_line is
actually “url”, tho you can’t ever SEND one (appears to have to be
without url when posting the parent invoice)…On 31 July 2013 15:37, Ioan Serban ioan@freeagent.com wrote:

Jeremy:
I think my example was wrong. Doing:
$invoice = array();
$invoice[‘invoice’][‘invoice_items’] = $items;
should however work. Basically your JSON needs to be in the format:
{“invoice”: {“invoice_items”: [{…item1…}, {…item2…}]}}
Nic: I’m going to have a thorough look at the documentation in the
following weeks and bring it up to date with the current behaviour of the
API, so it’s going to be clearer soon and save some sweat

Ah never mind me. I was using an OAUTH client which wasn’t sending the data
as a JSON string.
Thanks for the help!
