# Getting Started

Refrens Invoices makes it easy for businesses to create, view, print, email, and manage invoices using a simple dashboard and an intuitive API made for developers.

To access Refrens API, you need to have API enabled on your business account. If you have a Refrens Premium account, please contact support (care@refrens.com or on chat) to enable API for you.

The following points are applicable across all API endpoints -

• API follows REST conventions, ie creating a resource is POST, fetching is GET, updates are PATCH
• All API responses and request bodies are in JSON format.
• Any request with the body should include ContentType: application/json
• API response status is indicated as HTTP response code. ie, 200 is a success, 201 is created, 4xx are errors.
• Most of the endpoints require an Authorization header with a JWT token in the following format -
• Authorization: Bearer
  • You can either obtain a token via Authentication API call or Self Sign using privateKey provided by us.
