# Igtbdigital Accounting - Online Interface

Online Accounting API is to be used where the accounting entry is expected to be handed off on-line to the host AND host can provide synchronous response. Typically, this would be for intra-day customer debit and credit transactions. Online API is always for a single batch, containing a single group, which in turn will contain a single accounting entry. An accounting entry will typically have both. The API exposes 1 endpoints.

## For AI agents

Programmatically accounting. Covers 1 operations.

## Scope

Does not handle communications, crm, or developer tools - use for payments only.

## Capabilities

- accounting
- Manage payments data programmatically
- Integrate Accounting - Online Interface into automated workflows
- Query and filter Accounting - Online Interface records by parameters
- Monitor Accounting - Online Interface operational status and events

## Use cases

### Payments Operations

Use the Accounting - Online Interface to perform payments operations programmatically. The API provides 1 endpoints covering core functionality including accounting.

Example prompt: Call POST /v1/common/accounting to accounting

### Data Retrieval and Monitoring

Query Accounting - Online Interface resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.

Example prompt: Poll the primary Accounting - Online Interface endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Accounting - Online Interface endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle none tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'accounting', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

| Method | Path | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| POST | /v1/common/accounting | accounting |

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Accounting Online Interface by hand means pointing at its SwaggerHub-hosted mock server, tracking the /v1/common/accounting path, and handling the request and error shapes yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import it from the API Directory, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** The accounting target travels in the request body against /v1/common/accounting rather than a resource named in the URL path, so scope the agent to the operations it needs, such as posting an accounting entry. You choose the operations it may call, so only that operation is included unless you add more.
- **Credential handling:** This API declares no authentication, so there is no secret to pass. If the live endpoint later requires a credential, it is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, never entering the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'post an accounting entry', and Jentic returns the matching operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Accounting - Online Interface use?

The Accounting - Online Interface uses no authentication. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

### Can I accounting with the Accounting - Online Interface?

Yes. Use the POST /v1/common/accounting endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Accounting - Online Interface?

Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.

### How do I accounting through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'accounting'. Jentic returns the matching Accounting - Online Interface operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Accounting - Online Interface have?

The Accounting - Online Interface exposes 1 endpoints covering common operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Accounting - Online Interface?

Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use, and it can only call what you grant it. This API exposes a single operation, POST /v1/common/accounting, where the accounting target travels in the request body rather than the URL path, so you scope the agent to just posting an accounting entry. Nothing else is included unless you explicitly add it.
