Access and limits

Authentication: API key and API secret (token authentication)
Plans and access: Self-hosted ERPNext (v14+) or Frappe Cloud sites. Access follows the API user's roles and user permissions; document submission is left to ERPNext workflows.
Test environment: Use a Frappe Cloud trial site or a local bench site.
Rate limits: No default API limit; sites may configure rate limiting, and Frappe Cloud plans apply request quotas (HTTP 429).
Pagination: limit_start/limit_page_length (up to 500) ordered by modified ascending.
Provider events: ERPNext Webhook DocType (document events with optional HMAC signature). Flows run on demand, on a schedule, or when a scheduled check finds new or changed records.

Before you build a flow

Writes never submit or cancel: docstatus is a reserved field that no input can set, added submittable DocTypes (Material Request, Supplier Quotation, Purchase Receipt, Journal Entry, Timesheet) are always created with docstatus 0, and the submit, cancel and amend methods are not called. Nothing is deleted.
Filters are built only from validated values and sent JSON-encoded. DocTypes added in the deepening pass accept only named, pattern-checked equality filters (company, item, warehouse, account and similar), never email or phone filters, and are not reachable through the generic documents operations.
Accounting, stock ledger, BOM, work order, issue, contact and address records are read only. Journal entries are draft-create only and are never posted.
Only the allow-listed DocTypes are reachable; generic operations cannot address other DocTypes.
Documents are created as drafts; submit, cancel, amend and delete are not implemented. Stock entries are create-only drafts and payment entries are read only.
The modified filter compares Frappe's site-time-zone timestamps with the UTC wall-clock value you supply.
List reads return parent fields only; child tables (items) come from single reads.
ERPNext has no idempotency key for creates; uncertain creates are not repeated automatically.
Reconciliation reads (credit_notes, vendor_credit_notes, customer_payments, vendor_payments, bank_transactions) are read only filtered views: credit notes are return invoices (is_return = 1) with negative amounts as ERPNext stores them, payments are Payment Entries split by payment type (Receive or Pay; internal transfers are excluded), and bank transactions are the statement lines imported or entered in ERPNext, not a live bank feed.
