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: /projects: post: tags: - Projects summary: Create project description: |- Creates a project.
