Contracts

For more details on contracts please refer to the help article.

The contract object represents recurring financial commitments such as recurring budgets. Recurring commitments are either created automatically or triggered manually.

Please note that we rate limit POST requests for generating recurring budgets to 50 requests per minute.

Supported attributes

  • interval_id (integer)

  • next_occurrence_on (date)

  • ends_on (date)

  • template_id (integer)

  • copy_purchase_order_number (boolean)

  • copy_expenses (boolean)

The following interval_id values are available:

  • 1 (monthly)

  • 2 (bi-weekly)

  • 3 (weekly)

  • 4 (annual)

  • 5 (semiannual)

  • 6 (quarterly)

The following attributes are mandatory:

  • interval_id

  • template_id

  • next_occurrence_on (on create only)

In addition, next_occurrence_on date must be after today and after template’s date. Also, ends_on date has to be on or after next_occurrence_on if set.

Note that template_id has to point to a valid financial object, such as a budget that is to be recurred.

Supported filter params

  • id (integer)

  • contract_interval_id (integer)

  • starts_on (date)

  • ends_on (date)

  • next_occurrence_on (date)

Filter operations are supported on this endpoint.

Supported sort params

No sorting is supported on this endpoint. Default sorting is by id, ascending.
