Consulting Invoice Generator
Bill by day rate, retainer or deliverable, with the engagement reference.
Generate the API call that creates an invoice — Stripe, Xero, QuickBooks or your own REST API.
Or drop an invoice file here
The Invoice API Generator turns an invoice into ready-to-run code that creates it through an API — Stripe, Xero, QuickBooks Online or your own REST endpoint — in cURL, JavaScript, Python or PHP, with an OpenAPI 3.1 description for your own API.
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.

Each API lists the IDs and credentials it still needs.
Or download the OpenAPI spec for your own API.
No. It writes the code for you to run from your own server with your own credentials. Nothing is sent from this page.
Because an API key pasted into code ends up in version control, logs and screenshots. The generated code reads STRIPE_SECRET_KEY, XERO_ACCESS_TOKEN and similar from the environment.
You should not. Secret keys must stay on a server; Stripe, Xero and QuickBooks all expect server-side calls.
Each API handles tax differently — Stripe needs tax rate IDs, Xero a TaxType per line, QuickBooks tax codes. The generated code marks where your account’s own tax identifiers go.
