    Can anyone point me to some thing to help me get a better understanding working with API's?

    I have an basic/intermediate understanding of HTML/PHP/MySQL etc, but would like to get to know about implementing API's, at least at a basic level.

    By "implementing",. do you mean building your own?
    Or do you mean using ("consuming") others APIs? If so, from what language?

    Sorry, I meant using the KF API's in other applications or sites.

    Thanks for the clarification. What language/platform would you be using it from?

    That's the question!!

    If web based, it would be php.

    If calling information into MS Office, I have no idea!!!

    I'd suggest you spend some time reading about SOAP and PHP / .Net, that would cover the basics needed for a web or MS Office connection.

    There's no real idiot's guide, the Accounting API - Automated Bookkeeping details the KashFlow end of things
