API Overview

Welcome to the Beta release of the Bill4Time public API. Currently the API only supports Read 'get' routes. We will be continually expanding the API's capabilities over time based on customer feeback.

Getting Started

API Keys and Routes

You will First need to create one or more API Keys from the API tab of the Bill4Time Settings screen as shown.

You will then insert the newly created API key into any route you are trying to access data from.
In the following example insert your secure API key into the url where you see the '{Api Key}'

Which will yield the final URL:

OData Routes

All of the Bill4Time API read/get routes support functionality similar to OData.

You can use the following query string Clauses:

• $filter
• $orderBy
• $select
• $top
• $skip
• $count

You can use the following $filter comparison operators:

operator	purpose	example
eq	equality operator	$filter=id eq 1234
ne	non-equality operator	$filter=status ne 'Disabled'
gt	greater than operator	$filter=cost gt 10.00
ge	greater than or equal operator	$filter=cost ge 25.00
lt	less than operator	$filter=entryDate lt '2017-01-01'
le	less than or equal operator	$filter=entryDate le '2017-01-01'
