Airbase

Airbase is a modern spend management platform for finance teams that combines accounts-payable (AP) automation and bill pay, guided procurement and purchase orders, corporate cards, and expense reimbursements on a single system with real-time general-ledger sync. Airbase Inc. was acquired by Paylocity in a ~$325M deal announced September 4, 2024 and completed October 1, 2024, and now operates as "Airbase by Paylocity," extending Paylocity's HCM suite into the office of the CFO. Airbase exposes a developer platform at developer.airbase.io (REST API reference, OpenAPI/Swagger, Postman and Insomnia collections, a webhooks management API, an OAuth playground, and a sandbox) used to build custom connections for systems not covered by the pre-built integrations. API access is account-gated - credentials are generated inside the customer's Airbase/Paylocity tenant rather than through open self-serve signup - so the logical APIs below are honestly modeled from the documented product surface and developer portal, and the exact endpoint paths and base URL are not publicly reproduced here (endpointsModeled).

Airbase publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Spend Management, Accounts Payable, Bill Pay, Procurement, and Corporate Cards.

Airbase’s developer surface includes documentation and 6 more developer resources.
