  title: SimpleLegal Cost Codes Invoices API
  description: The SimpleLegal API is organized around REST. The API has predictable, resource-oriented URLs and uses HTTP response codes to indicate API errors. It uses built-in HTTP features like HTTP authentication and HTTP verbs. JSON is returned by all API responses, including errors. The API supports PATCH methods throughout; POST can be used instead of PATCH for systems that cannot use PATCH. Pagination defaults to 25 items per page and can be configured with the page_size query parameter.
