Abacus API

The Abacus API is available to our Partners, as well as customers on our Enterprise pricing plan. This help document will review the different endpoints available, as well as an overview of what you will need to get started.

For more information on using our API, please contact a sales representative. 

What can you do with the Abacus API?

We’ve built endpoints that allow you to access several crucial actions in Abacus. Using our API you can:

• Invite and suspend members using their email address
• Add information to member profiles:
  • First and last name, manager assignment, and custom Team field information such as department or location
  • Example: Add department information to a member's profile

List, add and remove Expense and Team Field items

• Expense and Team fields are customized fields that allow you to capture additional information on each expense, such as project, client, department, and location
• Example: add a department item to the Department field list
• Abacus stores receipt images for expense submission. This endpoint stores receipts to a member's individual Abacus account
  • Example: Add images to members' receipt inboxes

How does the API work?

The Abacus API uses modern API technologies such as OAuth 2.0 for authentication and REST/JSON for requests and responses. Detailed documentation is available once we’ve reviewed your use case.
