Response Format

At Accounting Data as a Service™, a Report refers to a response object hierarchy. Each API endpoint that retrieves data from an Accounting Service Provider returns a response with one or more Reports.

Each Report has a meta and a data parameter:

• meta is an object that contains a summary of the report such as data type, reporting period, etc.
• data is an array of one or more objects containing the relevant data types.

Report Meta

All responses related to accounting data include a meta object containing the following information:

• connectionUuid: the connection unique id.
• reportId: The report's unique id.
• startDate: Date from which the report data begins in the format: YYYY-MM-DD.
• endDate: Date from which the report data ends in the format: YYYY-MM-DD.
• reportFrequency: The reporting period requested.
• currency: The default currency the business used.
• accountingMethod: Specifies cash or accrual report. Applies to financial statements only.
• createdAt: The date/time the report was created by the accounting service provider.
• updatedAt: The date/time when the data was last updated.

An example meta object would look like this:

"meta": {
  "connectionUuid":"CON-396d5daa-26b2-4979-89b6-cafb2c298155",
	"reportId": "60000000c6115a0a166e2222",
