RESTful API

Akaunting provides a RESTful API to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) all entities of Akaunting.

Authentication

The Akaunting API uses the HTTP Basic authentication. Any user with read-api permission may access the API using their email and password. By default, Akaunting gives read-api permission to admin role.

Permissions for CRUD actions are based on default ACL.

Routes

The full list of API endpoints/routes is located in the following file:

You may also add API endpoints to your module:

<?php

 use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

 /**
 * 'api' middleware and 'api/my-blog' prefix applied to all routes (including names)
 *
 * @see \App\Providers\Route::register
 */

 Route::api('my-blog', function () {
     Route::get('posts/{post}/enable', 'Posts@enable')->name('.posts.enable');
     Route::get('posts/{post}/disable', 'Posts@disable')->name('.posts.disable');
     Route::resource('posts', 'Posts');
     Route::resource('comments', 'Comments');
 });

Check out the My Blog module as an example.
