Quotes

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/quotes

Method(s):

get,post,put,delete

Response Formats:

JSON, XML

Description:

These methods allow you to retrieve, create, update and delete quotes. The individual resource is identified by the quote number. So /quotes/123 would return the quote with number 123. Similarly a PUT to that URL would update quote 123. A GET to /quotes will return all quotes.

GET Operation

Returns the details of the one or all quotes according to the URL specified. To get list of quotes –

URL : /quotes

A list of quotes is returned (ordered by quote number in ascending order). To make the response compact, we only return the summary of each quote with required fields. Also to avoid overwhelming the server or the network with a large result sets, we return only the first 10 quotes sorted by quote number in ascending order, instead of returning the entire quotes list. To retrieve a larger result set of quotes the pagination URL below can be used.

PUT Operation

Updates quote details for the specified quote number using the following URL –

URL : /quotes/{number}

{number} in the URL should be replaced with the number of the quote to be updated. To update quote details you need to provide the whole quote object (similar to the GET quote response) and only update the required elements. Quote number is a mandatory field and if the number passed in the url and the request body are not same, then the quote number gets updated with the later (provided it is unique).

To create a new line item, item with a number 0 should be specified.
If existing line item(s) is/are not passed in PUT request body, then those line item(s) are deleted from DB.
In order to change sequence of line items just put the line items in the same order as desired. This will also update line numbers accordingly.
