Access and limits
- Authentication
- Sage OAuth 2.0 access token
- Plans and access
- Sage Accounting subscriptions in supported regions (UK, Ireland, Canada, US, France, Spain). Available fields and tax handling vary by region. The user who authorised the app must have access to the business.
- Test environment
- Developers can create trial businesses through the Sage developer self-service portal.
- Rate limits
- Per-business request quotas apply; HTTP 429 when exceeded and Nexra waits before retrying.
- Pagination
- page and items_per_page (up to 200); $next indicates another page.
- Provider events
- Sage Accounting does not offer general-purpose API webhooks. Flows run on demand, on a schedule, or when a scheduled check finds new or changed records.
Before you build a flow
- Customer reads, OAuth authentication and pagination implemented.
- Sage does not document idempotency keys for these endpoints; uncertain creates are not repeated automatically.
- Contact payments are limited to customer receipts and vendor payments; refunds are not implemented.
- Deletes, voids and invoice emailing are not implemented.
- Bank transactions: bank_transactions.list returns other payments and receipts; customer receipts, vendor payments and bank transfers have their own reads. Sage's API has no bank statement or bank feed line endpoint.
- Orders: Sage Accounting has no sales order or purchase order API (only quotes and estimates), so order reads are not available; sales_quotes.list covers quotes.
- Journals can be filtered by updated or created time only; Sage documents no journal date range filter.
- contacts.create and contacts.update send name, type, reference, tax number, currency, credit terms, notes and main address; contact people and email addresses are not written yet.
