Connection to the rest of the world

The API of MoneyBird enables you to access the information inside a MoneyBird account. The API is RESTfull and uses XML for the data representation. On this page you can find all information about the API. Don't hesitate to contact us with your questions on info@moneybird.nl.

For Ruby-on-Rails programmers: don't forget to use ActiveResource! If you want to use the MoneyBird API with PHP, please take a look at the PHP library on GitHub.
