Tip of the Week: Integrating with Sage Intacct API

Sage Intacct API Explained

Sage Intacct has an open API which allows any developer to build integrations with other software applications.

If you need to connect a system to Sage Intacct and there aren’t any existing integrations available, the open API allows for a bespoke integration to be built around your specific needs.

In this tip of the week, we’ll share an overview of how integrating with the API works and where you can find technical information.

There’s a dedicated site for developers which includes all the technical information to build integrations.

This page is split into sections corresponding to each area in Sage Intacct (e.g. Accounts Payable), including any additional modules such as projects.

When you click into the section you want, there’s a list of different functions.

Click on the one you want and it’ll take you down to that section.

For example, if we click create bill, you can see that it gives us everything we need to build the API call.

You’ll need to add your own parameters into the code on the right hand side.

The API functions fit into 2 categories: Generic and Object Specific (legacy).

• Generic functions include things like read, update, delete, lookup and query.
• Object specific functions can only operate on a single type of object.
