AccelBooks offers a Transaction API that allows for direct manipulation of transaction data within your application. This setup provides an alternative to third-party integrations like Plaid, offering greater control over how transactions are processed and managed.

Getting Started

Ensure you have the required API credentials, which include client_id and client_secret, necessary for authenticating requests to the API.

Transaction API Endpoints

Utilize the following endpoints to manage transactions for a specific company:
  • POST /company/:id/transactions – Add new transactions for a specified company.
  • GET /company/:id/transactions – Retrieve all transactions for a specified company.
  • GET /company/:id/transactions/{transactionId} – Retrieve details of a specific transaction for a specified company.
  • PUT /company/:id/transactions/{transactionId} – Update an existing transaction for a specified company.
  • DELETE /company/:id/transactions/{transactionId} – Remove a specific transaction for a specified company.
