Questions about using Export Data API for payment status and invoice
Hi Candis team,
I’ve been looking into the API for reconciling payments, and I noticed that the data from the /invoices endpoint doesn’t fully match what we see in the UI. The documentation mentions that the API is primarily read-only but includes “a limited update capability for maintaining payment status metadata.”
I also checked the Export Data endpoint (Create an Export https://developer.candis.io/reference/create-export), but I don’t see a way to specify a date or filter when creating an export via POST. In my tests, this resulted in only a single record being returned.
Our use case is basically to account for all invoices across all organizations. Currently, we have a daily process that reads from the /invoices endpoint, but the data doesn’t fully match the UI.
Could you clarify:
- How should we use the Export Data endpoint to get a complete set of invoice/payment data?
- Is the API intended to support full invoice reconciliation across multiple organizations, or are there limitations we should be aware of?
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
Best regards,
Javier
