Using Method's API

Allow external applications to integrate with Method

Updated over a month 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.

The API is available for no additional charge to all Method users who have the API permission turned on (found when editing their user settings, under Account Permissions.) For documentation, help, and sample code, please visit https://developer.method.me/ or click the button below.

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.
