Improved
Requests: purchase orders, invoices, travel and expense claims (experimental)
about 15 hours ago by ReadMe API
Get Requests no longer stops at card requests. It now also returns:
- subscription increases (
subscription_increase), purchase orders (purchase_order), invoices (invoice) and credit notes (credit_note); - travel budgets (
travel_budget) and bookings (travel_booking); - expense claims, mileage and per diem (
expense,mileage_allowance,per_diem_allowance), with the amount to reimburse, and areviewedfilter to tell the claims a controller has reviewed from the others.
So "which purchase-order requests are waiting for approval?" or "how much do we owe employees in expense claims?" can be answered from the API.
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://public-api.spendesk.com/v1/requests?type=purchase_order&state=pending' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
What you get by default
- Subscription increases, purchase orders, invoices, credit notes and travel are returned only when
typeasks for them: their amount is a budget, a commitment or a supplier document, not card spend. A request withouttypereturns card requests and claims, as before.- Purchase-order requests also need
experimental:purchase-order:read, and invoice and credit-note requestsexperimental:invoice:read. Without the scope, none are returned.- Claims are in beta, switched on per company by Spendesk: ask your Spendesk contact. Without it, a request for claims only answers
403. Drafts, incomplete and paid claims are never returned.
The AI assistant uses the same rules in get_requests, get_request_by_id and spendesk_analyze_requests. The endpoint remains experimental (scope experimental:request:read).
