Accounting Transactions APIs

Use accounting transaction APIs to inject data and process transactions within DPS and also to extract accounting and transactional information for use outside of DPS.

APIs are available for the accounting transaction types listed in the following table. You can execute a GET or a POST on each endpoint (read or create). You cannot update or delete. Each API takes one parameter, the JSON string that contains the transaction data. The ability to create new transaction files or open existing files depend on your system configuration and security access rights.

For a complete listing of available API endpoints, see the interactive visualization. This visualization does not include metadata descriptions. To see information about the metadata fields that return, see Metadata. Execute a GET on the appropriate endpoint to find out what metadata is available. Metadata is available for historical information including labor, expense, and overhead. For example, to get the metadata for the historical overhead transactions, you execute a GET on {{url}}/metadata/historicalOverhead/.
