  title: Fortnox REST API (Representative Subset) Accounts Invoices 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.'

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Fortnox Invoices API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
