Authentication Method: API Key

Upon creating a Billit account, you gain immediate access to API authentication through an API Key, easily located in the Billit Application under your profile. This key is unique to your account and is not limited to a single company within Billit, allowing for versatile use across multiple entities associated with your account.

API Key Authentication

• **Getting Started:**Your API Key is found under 'Profile' -> 'Users & API Key'. It's crucial to keep this key confidential and store it securely.
• Usage instructions:
  • For general API calls, include your API Key in the request header.
  • To specify the company for the API call, include the Company/PartyID in the request. This detail is essential when your account is linked to multiple companies.
  • For accountants managing multiple companies, include both the ContextCompanyID (accountant's ID) and the PartyID (company's ID) in the request headers.
