Overview
In this lesson, we’ll add some items to our FreshBooks account so we can create invoices and payments to the client. We’ll see the following endpoints:
- Create an item:
{base_url}/accounting/account/{ACCOUNT_ID}/items/items - Update an item:
{base_url}/accounting/account/{ACCOUNT_ID}/items/items/{ITEM_ID}
To perform different operations on items using FreshBooks API, our application needs to have user:billable_items:read and user:billable_items:write permissions.
