The Exact API allows developers to access the functionality of the Exact Online accounting software from their own applications. With the API, developers can create, view, and update account records, create and manage invoices and quotes, and view and update inventory levels.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
exact: {
type: "app",
app: "exact",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://start.exactonline.${this.exact.$auth.region}/api/v1/current/Me?$select=UserID,Email`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.exact.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
},
params: {
"$select": `UserID,Email`,
},
})
},
})
Exact uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Exact account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Exact and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Exact API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
GET
https://start.exactonline.{{custom_fields.region}}/api/oauth2/auth
?
client_id={{custom_fields.client_id}}
&
redirect_uri={{oauth.redirect_uri}}
&
state={{oauth.state}}
&
response_type=code
&
scope={{oauth.space_separated_scopes}}
POST
https://start.exactonline.{{custom_fields.region}}/api/oauth2/token
content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
accept: application/json
client_id={{custom_fields.client_id}}
&
client_secret={{custom_fields.client_secret}}
&
redirect_uri={{oauth.redirect_uri}}
&
grant_type=authorization_code
&
code={{oauth.code}}
POST
https://start.exactonline.{{custom_fields.region}}/api/oauth2/token
content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
accept: application/json
client_id={{custom_fields.client_id}}
