Using Method's API

Allow external applications to integrate with Method

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The Method API is intended to be a tool to allow external applications to integrate with Method applications, as an extension of the Method user experience.

For documentation, help, and sample code, please visit https://developer.method.me/ or click the button below.

NOTE: Creating an API Key requires a user to have Admin permissions.

Notes:

  • There are limits to the number of API calls an account can make to Method. For Method's API limits, please see API Limits section of our documentation.

  • Using Method's API to create or update transactions will trigger Method's sync to the accounting software.

  • When doing a large number of batch processing requiring a sync to the accounting software, there are restrictions imposed by the accounting software themselves.

    • When Method does a real-time sync to QuickBooks Online, there is a concurrency limit: QuickBooks only allows 10 calls being sent at the same time. Calls after this will time out and not be processed.

    • When Method syncs to Xero, there is a limit of 60 calls per minute.
