Front Accounting APIs API

Finance / OAuth Advanced HTTPS CORS
Varies by plan (check documentation)

Overview

Front Accounting APIs provide programmatic access to an open-source accounting system designed for small businesses. You can manage invoices, customers, and financial transactions across multiple currencies. It is a great starting point if you need to integrate accounting features into a business application.

Beginner Tip

Start by reading the SimpleAPI module documentation carefully, as authentication uses OAuth and requires setting up a client application in your Front Accounting instance first.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
