Exact API Integrations

Build and run workflows using the Exact API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 1000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.

Overview

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.

Authentication

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:

OAuth Request Configurations:
  1. authorization
    GEThttps://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}}
