• Production

Partner and provider keys.

The category totals per calendar month across the range, plus the whole period — one request covers a trailing-twelve-month reconciliation for an entity.

Each period carries its own is_closed and is_complete flags, so a recurring job can narrow its work to the months that can still move and treat closed months as settled. This is the endpoint a daily job should use.

Months at the edge of the range are clipped, not extended: a range starting mid-month yields a first period that starts on your start_date. See guides/data-semantics.

Parameters

Path Parameters

provider_id

required

string format: uuid

The provider, from GET /providers or the provider_id on a business-entity record. With a partner key it must be a provider in your partner relationship; with a provider key it is always your own provider_id, which GET /providers returns.

Example

9c1e7a42-0b3d-4e58-9f21-6a8b5c4d3e2f

business_entity_id

required

string format: uuid

The business entity, from GET /business_entities. Must belong to the provider_id in the same path.

Example

3f5d8b16-7c94-42a1-b0e6-58d9c2a71b43

Query Parameters

start_date

required

string format: date

/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/

First day of the requested range, inclusive.

Must be a real calendar date, zero-padded, in YYYY-MM-DD form — 2026-7-1 and 2026-02-31 are both 400 INVALID_REQUEST. Ranges are evaluated in UTC.

Raised to the entity’s books_start_date when it falls earlier. If the whole requested range sits before the books begin, the result is 400 INVALID_REQUEST rather than a zero statement, so a range with no books behind it can never read as a period with no revenue.

Example

2026-07-01

end_date

required

string format: date

/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/

Last day of the requested range, inclusive. Same format rules as start_date, and must not be earlier than it.

Capped at today when it falls in the future, which is the ordinary case for a job that asks for the current month every day. The response echoes the effective range it used.

Example

2026-07-31

string format: uuid

accounting_basis

required

The basis an entity’s financials are prepared on.

A property of the entity, not a request parameter. A report is produced on the basis the underlying books are kept on; there is no per-request switch. It is returned on every entity record and every report so a figure is never ambiguous, and it will not change without notice. See guides/data-semantics.

null only where the entity has no books yet — every entity with reporting_available: true carries a basis.

required

Chronological, one entry per month in the effective range.

Array

A period carrying the category totals.

object

label

required

Month and year of this period, e.g. July 2026. Derived from start_date, so a clipped period still reads as its calendar month — use the dates, not the label, to know what the period covers.

string

start_date

required

First day of the period, inclusive.

string format: date

end_date

required

Last day of the period, inclusive.

string format: date

is_closed

required

Whether a Flychain bookkeeper has finalized the books through end_date. This is the flag that says a figure is final.

boolean

is_complete

required

Whether this period’s end_date is in the past. false for the in-progress current month.

Note this is about the period, not the calendar month: a period clipped by the requested range reads true once its end date has passed, even though the calendar month it is labelled with is not fully covered.

boolean

totals

required

The nine income-statement category totals, in statement order, plus net_other_income_cents.

Every value is a signed integer in cents and is the rolled-up figure for that category, including every account beneath it. Expense categories are positive magnitudes, as they appear on the statement.

See guides/migrating-from-quickbooks for the mapping onto a QuickBooks Profit & Loss.

object

operating_revenues_cents

required

Income earned from core services. This is gross revenue, and the figure to use as a revenue base.

integer

total_net_sales_cents

integer

cost_of_goods_sold_cents

required

Direct costs of delivering the service.

integer

gross_profit_cents

required

Total net sales less cost of goods sold.

Malformed request — a missing or unparseable date, a path id that is not a UUID, start_date after end_date, or a range that does not overlap the period this entity has books for. Also returned when the request reached us over plaintext HTTP; see INSECURE_TRANSPORT below and guides/authentication.

The failure shape for every error — validation, authorization, ours — so a client needs a single error path.

Match on code, not on message: the code set below is the contract and is stable, while wording may be clarified. New codes may be added within v1 (see guides/versioning), so treat an unrecognised code as “the HTTP status is authoritative”.

This includes a request that never reaches a documented operation at all — an unrouted path or a method we do not serve on that path, which is the failure you are most likely to meet while integrating. Those are answered before any operation runs, so no operation below lists them, but they arrive in this same shape, as ENDPOINT_NOT_FOUND (404) and METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (405). Either one means check the URL rather than your credentials: the operations below are the whole surface.

403

Your key is valid, but this call is not allowed: your organization is not enrolled in the API programme (or, for a provider key, its Flychain account is not active), or the provider or business entity exists but is not in your partner relationship — including one that has left it. The partner scope cases are distinct from 404 on purpose, so “gone” and “never existed” are tellable apart. None of these is a credential problem; rotating the key will not help.

409

The entity exists and is in your relationship, but has no books a report can be produced from — it is still onboarding, or it has been deactivated. It appears in GET /business_entities with reporting_available: false; skip it rather than recording a zero.

Media typeapplication/json

The failure shape for every error — validation, authorization, ours — so a client needs a single error path.

Match on code, not on message: the code set below is the contract and is stable, while wording may be clarified. New codes may be added within v1 (see guides/versioning), so treat an unrecognised code as “the HTTP status is authoritative”.

This includes a request that never reaches a documented operation at all — an unrouted path or a method we do not serve on that path, which is the failure you are most likely to meet while integrating. Those are answered before any operation runs, so no operation below lists them, but they arrive in this same shape, as ENDPOINT_NOT_FOUND (404) and METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (405). Either one means check the URL rather than your credentials: the operations below are the whole surface.

• INVALID_REQUEST (400) — malformed dates, a non-UUID path id, an inverted range, or a range with no reportable books behind it.
• INSECURE_TRANSPORT (400) — the request was sent over plaintext http, so the key crossed the network in the clear. Rotate the key, then fix the URL; we refuse rather than redirect so this cannot pass unnoticed.
• INVALID_API_KEY (401) — missing, invalid, expired or revoked key.
• PARTNER_API_NOT_ENABLED (403) — your key is valid, but your organization is not enrolled in the API programme. Contact us; do not rotate the key.
• PROVIDER_NOT_ACTIVE (403) — a provider key whose Flychain account is not active. Contact us; do not rotate the key.
• PROVIDER_API_NOT_ENABLED (403) — a provider key on an account that is not enrolled in the API programme. Contact us; do not rotate the key.
• ENDPOINT_NOT_AVAILABLE (403) — the path exists and your key is valid, but that operation is not served for your kind of key. The balance sheet and cash flow families are provider-only. Your URL is not wrong; do not rotate the key.
• PROVIDER_NOT_IN_PARTNER_SCOPE (403) — the provider exists but is not in your relationship, including one that has left it.
• BUSINESS_ENTITY_NOT_IN_PARTNER_SCOPE (403) — the entity exists but does not belong to the provider_id in the path.

• ENDPOINT_NOT_FOUND (404) — the URL itself is not one we serve, as opposed to a record we do not have. Check the path against the operations below.
• METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (405) — the path exists but not with that method; the Allow response header lists the ones it takes. Every operation here is a GET.
• BOOKS_NOT_AVAILABLE (409) — the entity has no reportable books.

We could not verify your API key right now — our identity provider was unreachable or rate-limited. This is not an authentication failure: the key may well be valid. Retry with backoff rather than treating it as a 401.
