Notes

This s a documentation page for our shiny new REST API - you weren't meant to find it. This API isn't ready for public use yet. We're chopping and changing it a LOT as we grow it. So if you build something that uses it then it's very likely to break in a future update. Don't say you weren't warned!

URL:

https://api.kashflow.com/v2/{objecttype}/{objectnumber}/notes

Method(s):

get,post,put,delete

Response Formats:

JSON, XML

Description:

These methods allow you to retrieve, create, update and delete notes.
{objecttype} in the URL can be substituted by one of the below entities to which the notes belong.
{objectnumber} in the URL is the identifier (mentioned below) of the entity to which notes belongs.

{objecttype}{objectnumber}
QuotesQuote Number
InvoicesInvoice Number
CustomersCustomer Code
PurchasesPurchase Number
SuppliersSupplier Code

So, the GET of URL /invoice/100/notes would return the notes belonging to invoice number 100.

Each individual note resource is identified by a note number. Note number is unique with respect to the entity to which it belongs. Hence, a PUT to the URL /invoice/100/note/1 would update note number 1 of invoice number 100.
