Editor's Notes
- What is an API and what does it mean for you? Examples of API applications Partners currently working with us New Reckon API program announcement inc upcoming releases Web Ninja API demo
- In simple terms, an API (Application Programming Interface) is the building blocks that allow systems to interconnect and pass data to each other.
- The idea behind using the Auckland rail map is to show connectivity between points, and that’s basically the exact same way that an API works. So you might want to point for example to Albany and say something like “imagine this is Reckon Accounts” and then point to Otahuhu and say something like “and this is a online timesheet application”, the concept of trains and data travelling between interconnected points is basically the same.
- Why should you care about APIs? An application which uses an API to connect into Reckon software, allows you to extend functionality of the product into more niche areas. This may lead to significant cost savings and retention of clients
- This is the perfect time to investigate API partners and options. It could be the difference between a $250,000 implementationand $2000. Anecdote A few years ago a customer contacted the Reckon API team with a request to try and find some software that would help them out. They didn’t want to leave Reckon but desperately needed a extended system beyond what they could do in RA and had contacted SAP and were about to go with a $250,000 install and replacement of their whole accounting systems. The API team managed to find a tool that was $2000 pa that solved the issue and kept the client.
- Reckon has over 500 developers in its API program as of June 2015? And more are being added weekly?
- Availability The Reckon Accounts Hosted API is now available in Australia It will arrive in New Zealand shortly Developers can easily support both countries. Supports Shared Files as well as files hosted on the base Q:\
- Security of your Accounts data and logins is always paramount with Reckon designed systems. Third party applications do not need to store your credentials in their system. You can revoke access to your account for the API at any time A token based system is used to ensure highest level of security possible (Oauth 2.0)
- Example Applications E-Stores – Posting an sales receipt directly to Reckon Accounts Hosted when a sale is completed. Timesheets – Mobile apps allowing to perform timesheets on the road and directly send to RA Hosted. Extended Report Applications – Building upon the powerful reports system in RA, even more on offer from 3rd parties. Inventory Management – Including oft asked for features such as multi-warehousing
- Version 1.0 – October 2015 The Reckon One API will be made available in its first release during October 2015. This first release will allow developers to integrate with contacts, journals, tax groups, projects, chart of accounts and invoices Some of these will be a read only service, but expanded upon in 1.1 and beyond There is significant interest in the market for this product. Developers are banging our doors down.
- Version 1.1 - TBA Will allow editing/importing of the Chart of Accounts programmatically. Thus leading to a conversion system from other products eventually. Invoices will become write and read. Investigating allowing developers to access unposted BankData transactions. Expanding the fintech capabilities of Reckon One.
- What do you feel is important to allow developers to do? Email reckonapi@reckon.com Help us get the info out Again like Hosted, feel free to contact developers and mention the Reckon One API integration Tell them about our email address where we can take things further One thing to keep in mind is that just like Reckon, developers need to schedule developments so it may take a little while Developers are generally very open to expanding their integrations
- The API Program is now free Developers no longer need to pay a fee to access our API systems Those who qualify will be provided with test Hosted and Reckon One accounts for no additional cost. The API program will consist of the Desktop, Hosted and Reckon One APIs. There are more APIs on the way from Reckon. Much more attractive to development community with these changes
- API Marketplace The current API marketplace is undergoing a major overhaul Once launched it will be very much like a app store where you will be able to search for apps based on name or need For example if you need to find a construction based add on, you will be able to use that style filter. With the fees gone, the marketplace will be significantly larger than it is now.
