Enable the IRIS KashFlow REST API
The images and steps in this topic are based on our new design (which you can currently switch on and off). If you haven't switched the new design on, the images may look different.
The REST API allowsIRIS KashFlow and a third party program to talk to each other and exchange data. To make API calls toIRIS KashFlow, you must embed an access token into the header of each call.
Our API tokes are generated using oAuth2 in line with the The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework.
