Reading Data
|
||
""""""""""""
|
||
|
||
Here’s an example of reading the list of clients using cURL from the command line.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||
|
||
curl -X GET "ninja.test/api/v1/clients" -H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
|
||
For invoices, quotes, tasks and payments simply change the object type.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||
|
||
curl -X GET "ninja.test/api/v1/invoices" -H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
|
||
You can search clients by their email address or id number and invoices by their invoice number.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||
|
||
curl -X GET "ninja.test/api/v1/clients?email=<value>" -H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
curl -X GET "ninja.test/api/v1/clients?id_number=<value>" -H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
curl -X GET "ninja.test/api/v1/invoices?invoice_number=<value>" -H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
|
||
To load a single record specify the Id in the URL.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||
|
||
curl -X GET "ninja.test/api/v1/invoices/1" -H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
|
||
You can specify additional relationships to load using the ``include`` parameter.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||
|
||
curl -X GET "ninja.test/api/v1/clients/1?include=invoices.invitations" -H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
|
||
You can download a PDF using the following URL
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||
|
||
curl -X GET "ninja.test/api/v1/download/1" -H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
|
||
Optional Settings
|
||
"""""""""""""""""
|
||
|
||
The following are optional query parameter settings:
|
||
|
||
- ``serializer``: Either array (the default) or `JSON <http://jsonapi.org/>`_.
|
||
- ``include``: A comma-separated list of nested relationships to include.
|
||
- ``client_id``: If set the results will be filtered by the client.
|
||
- ``page``: The page number of results to return when the results are paginated.
|
||
- ``per_page``: The number of results to return per page.
|
||
- ``updated_at``: Timestamp used as a filter to only show recently updated records.
|
||
|
||
Creating Data
|
||
"""""""""""""
|
||
|
||
.. TIP:: Add ``-H "X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest"`` to see validation errors in the response.
|
||
|
||
Here’s an example of creating a client. Note that email address is a property of the client’s contact not the client itself.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||
|
||
curl -X POST "ninja.test/api/v1/clients" -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
|
||
-d '{"name":"Client","contact":{"email":"test@example.com"}}' -H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
|
||
You can also update a client by specifying a value for ‘id’. Next, here’s an example of creating an invoice.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||
|
||
curl -X POST "ninja.test/api/v1/invoices" -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
|
||
-d '{"client_id":"1", "invoice_items":[{"product_key": "ITEM", "notes":"Test", "cost":10, "qty":1}]}' \
|
||
-H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
|
||
If the email field is set we’ll search for a matching client, if no matches are found a new client will be created.
|
||
|
||
If the product_key is set and matches an existing record the product fields will be auto-populated. You can use a comma-separated value to create an invoice with multiple products.
|
||
|
||
Options
|
||
^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
The following options are available when creating an invoice.
|
||
|
||
- ``email_invoice``: Email the invoice to the client.
|
||
- ``email_type``: Set to reminder1, reminder2 or reminder3 to use the reminder template.
|
||
- ``auto_bill``: Attempt to auto-bill the invoice using stored payment methods or credits.
|
||
- ``paid``: Create a payment for the defined amount.
|
||
|
||
Updating Data
|
||
"""""""""""""
|
||
|
||
.. NOTE:: When updating a client it's important to include the contact ids.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||
|
||
curl -X PUT 'ninja.test/api/v1/clients/1" -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
|
||
-d '{"name":"test", "contacts":[{"id": 1, "first_name": "test"}]}' \
|
||
-H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
|
||
You can archive, delete or restore an entity by setting ``action`` in the request
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||
|
||
curl -X PUT "ninja.test/api/v1/invoices/1?action=archive" \
|
||
-H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
|
||
|
||
.. TIP:: For invoices use `mark_sent` to manually mark the invoice as sent
|
||
|
||
Emailing Invoices
|
||
"""""""""""""""""
|
||
|
||
To email an invoice use the email_invoice command passing the id of the invoice.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||
|
||
curl -X POST "ninja.test/api/v1/email_invoice" -d '{"id":1}' \
|
||
-H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"
