Who uses it?
As well as many people who have used the API for private projects, many companies have used it to provide new products or extended functionality to their customers.
Listed below are just a few.
See our main Add Ons page for more.
The Accounting API is a fully featured SOAP/XML webservice that exposes much of the functionality of the KashFlow online accounting software. It enables other computer programs and websites to exchange data with a KashFlow account.
It can be used by existing KashFlow customers to integrate with their existing websites and systems or by companies wishing to extend their own products or create new products using our API as the accounting engine.
There is no charge to use the API. All you need is a KashFlow account with the API enabled. KashFlow accounts are available to try for free for 60 days.
The possibilities are limitless.
Getting Started with the API
Whilst some of the existing scripts and software can be used with little or no technical knowledge, developing new applications or integrating an existing website with the API does require technical knowledge.
The first thing you'll need before you can do anything is a KashFlow account. Visit our accounting software site and sign up for you free account.
Read our online manual for information on the methods available.
Developers
You are encouraged to develop scripts and utilities that use our API. You are welcome to distribute them for free or to charge for them.
As well as providing support for the API ourselves, we also want to encourage our API developers to communicate directly with each other to share ideas and solutions. We've provided a forum for exactly this purpose here.
