About the Invoice API Generator

Creating an invoice through an API is easy to describe and fiddly to get right. Stripe wants form-encoded amounts in minor units and invoice items created before the invoice. Xero wants an Invoices array with LineAmountTypes and account codes. QuickBooks wants SalesItemLineDetail with an item reference and an Amount that matches Qty times UnitPrice. Each gets rejected for different reasons.

Paste an invoice — the JSON the builders here export, or UBL, CII or generic invoice JSON — choose the API and the language, and this writes the request: the endpoint, the headers, the body mapped field by field, in cURL, JavaScript, Python or PHP. For your own API it writes the POST with an idempotency key and an OpenAPI 3.1 description of the endpoint, with the invoice schema, ready to drop into your documentation.

Credentials appear as environment variables, never inline, and each target lists what you still have to supply — a customer ID, an account code, a tenant. Everything is generated in your browser.
