Current base URL: /api/external/v1. The legacy unversioned path (/api/external) will be removed on January 1, 2027; migrate to /api/external/v1 (same endpoints, only the base URL changes). The v2 API (/api/external/v2) exposes currencies and exchange rates, sales and purchases in foreign currency, taxes by id, payrolls with branch, and errors with a stable `code`; its operations carry the /v2 prefix in the path. We suggest migrating to the available v2 routes before March 30, 2027. servers: - url: https://api.filexpress.app/api/external/v1 description: Production security: - ApiKey: [] tags: - name: General - name: Billing · Sales - name: Billing · Purchases - name: Billing · Customers - name: Billing · Suppliers - name: Billing · Products - name: Catalogs - name: HR · Employees - name: HR · Attendance - name: HR · Labor rules - name: HR · Schedules - name: HR · Holidays - name: HR · Attendance results - name: HR · Leave requests - name: HR · Payrolls - name: Accounting - name: Inventory - name: Projects - name: Accounts receivable - name: Accounts payable - name: Treasury - name: Pricing and promotions - name: Cash - name: Points of sale - name: API v2 · General - name: API v2 · Currencies and rates - name: API v2 · Countries - name: API v2 · Sales - name: API v2 · Purchases - name: API v2 · Payrolls paths: /branches/{id}/points-of-sale: post: tags: - Points of sale summary: Create point of sale description: >- Creates a point of sale in the branch with its own numbering (starting at 1) for each DTE type of the current year. **Required permission:** `branches.write` parameters: - name: id in: path required: true description: Branch ID schema: type: string format: uuid example: 9d1c5a3e-4b7f-4e2a-9c1d-2f6b8a0e7c11 requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/PointOfSaleCreateRequest' example: code: P002 name: Caja 2 responses: '201': description: Point of sale created content: application/json: schema: type: object required: - status - data properties: status: type: boolean example: true data: $ref: '#/components/schemas/PointOfSale' example: status: true data: id: 9d1c5a3e-4b7f-4e2a-9c1d-2f6b8a0e7c11 business_id: 3b8e2f10-7c4d-4a9e-b1f2-5d6c7e8f9a01 branch_id: 3b8e2f10-7c4d-4a9e-b1f2-5d6c7e8f9a01 code: P002 name: Caja 2 is_default: false is_active: true created_at: '2026-10-08T15:00:00.000000Z' updated_at: '2026-10-08T15:00:00.000000Z' current_session: null last_session: null '401': $ref: '#/components/responses/E401' '403': $ref: '#/components/responses/E403' '404': description: Not found or belongs to another business content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Error' example: status: false message: Branch not found for this integration.
