  title: Fortnox REST API (Representative Subset) Accounts Financial Years API
  description: 'Grounded OpenAPI description of the Fortnox REST API - the Swedish cloud accounting/ERP platform for SMBs and accounting bureaus. Base URL is https://api.fortnox.se/3/. Authentication is OAuth2 Authorization Code Flow: each request carries the Access-Token (Bearer JWT, 1h) header plus the Client-Secret header issued to your Fortnox app. The old fixed Access-Token/Client-Secret integration keys were deprecated 2025-04-30.


    SCOPE / FIDELITY NOTE: The Fortnox API exposes 40+ resources. This document ships a solid, representative SUBSET (Invoices, Customers, Articles, Orders, Offers, Vouchers, Accounts, Financial Years, Suppliers, Supplier Invoices, Projects) with pragmatic, partial field-level schemas. Paths, methods, identifiers, the wrapper-object response envelope (e.g. { "Invoice": {...} }, { "Invoices": [...] }), and auth are grounded in Fortnox''s developer documentation. Per-field property coverage is intentionally partial and MODELED/summarized from the docs, not transcribed field-for-field for every resource. Verify exact field sets and validation against https://api.fortnox.se/apidocs before production use.'
