If you have enabled the API for your system and are ready get started, I highly recommend checking out our sample code collection. If you have PHP installed on your server, I recommend experimenting with the API Tester file. It serves as an excellent testing tool to get started with the API. Furthermore, the code contains functions that you can reuse to create your own custom solutions.
I was able to create a quick program in less than an hour that imports items into your FreshBooks system from a comma delimited text with some small changes to the API Tester file.
FreshBooks is now eating its own dog food.
On Wednesday we released some pretty exciting updates to our API and wanted to make sure you were aware of them.
Ever since its debut, the API has used a more restrictive set of permissions than the application. This made things a little simpler for us, but it didn't help our users or third-party add-on developers. It meant that certain third-party applications simply weren't as useful for customers who had multiple staff members sharing a single FreshBooks account. We've received many requests from developers to open up permissions in the API so that they more closely follow the permission settings in the application. You have been heard!
On January 4, 2010, we will be disabling SSLv2 and ciphers with keys smaller than 128 bits.
