Moneybird uses strict OAuth 2.0 for API authentication. Truto handles the full OAuth flow — token exchange, refresh, and secure storage — so your end users simply authorize access through a consent screen without your team managing credentials. ### Are there rate limits on the Moneybird API? Yes. Moneybird enforces rate limits on API requests. Truto manages request pacing and retries on your behalf so you don't have to build throttling logic into your application. ### Does the Moneybird API support webhooks? Yes. Moneybird offers reliable webhook subscriptions for events like sales_invoice_saved, contact_created, and more. This enables event-driven architectures where your SaaS reacts to changes in Moneybird in real time instead of polling. ### What are the API quirks Truto abstracts away? Moneybird's API requires .json suffixes on all endpoint URLs and does not return total record counts on paginated responses, making cursor management tricky. Truto normalizes these behaviors so you interact with a clean, consistent interface. ### Is the Moneybird integration available as a pre-built Unified API? Moneybird is currently supported through Truto's Unified User Directory API for user/contact data. Full accounting-specific tools and additional unified API coverage are built on request — reach out to the Truto team to prioritize the endpoints your product needs. ### Which Moneybird API objects are most important for integrations? Contacts are foundational — nearly every financial transaction requires a contact_id. Beyond that, sales_invoices, purchase_invoices, documents (for receipt attachments), and time_entries are the most commonly used objects in SaaS integration scenarios.
