# AFAS Software — Accounting API: overview > Canonical URL: https://developers.apideck.com/apis/accounting/afas/overview AFAS Software provides comprehensive business software solutions including ERP, HR, and payroll management for small to medium-sized businesses. - Status: live - Authentication: apiKey - **sandbox available:** false - **partnership portal name:** AFAS Partner Program - **partnership required:** false - **apideck credentials note:** Every consumer connects with their own AFAS environment name and App Connector token. - **sandbox url:** https://connect.afas.nl/ - **responsibility matrix:** - **area:** Enable Connector & Configure Vault - **apideck:** Docs provided - **customer:** ✓ - **apideck:** Specifies required connectors - **consumer:** ✓ (AFAS Administrator) - **customer:** Share required connector list - **area:** Create App Connector in AFAS - **area:** Publish required GetConnectors & UpdateConnectors - **customer:** Share specifications - **consumer:** ✓ - **apideck:** Connector specs provided - **area:** Generate Token & Provide Environment Name - **consumer:** ✓ - **apideck:** Handles connection - **area:** Authorize Connection (Vault) - **consumer:** ✓ Enters environment name + token - **customer:** Implement Vault - **area:** Build via Unified API - **customer:** ✓ - **apideck:** Maintains connector - **area:** Connection Sync - **apideck:** ✓ Polls via virtual webhooks - **customer:** ✓ Via Dashboard - **area:** Monitor Connections - **apideck:** Logs & alerts - **consumer:** ✓ Can revoke the token in AFAS - **difficulty:** highly_complex - **webhooks:** Virtual webhooks — polling-based created/updated events for 14 HRIS and accounting resource families (employees, customers, invoices, bills, and 10 more). - **authentication note:** An AFAS App Connector token sent in the Authorization header, prefixed with AfasToken. Not OAuth. - **partnership url:** https://partner.afas.nl/koppeling-registreren - **apideck credentials available:** false - **important to know:** One AFAS environment and token serves two unified APIs: HRIS (live) and Accounting (beta). Employees and departments are HRIS-only — those operations are disabled on the Accounting API — so which resources you get depends on the API you build against. A connection can authorize and still return no data: each consumer's AFAS administrator must first publish the named GetConnectors (and UpdateConnectors for writes) to the App Connector. Credit notes, payments and aged debtors/creditors need one the tenant authors itself. AFAS is retiring classic token authentication: tokens receive automatic end-dates on 15 February 2027 and stop working on 31 August 2027, when OAuth 2.1 replaces them. An administrator can also time-limit or revoke a token at any point, which silently breaks the connection. - **supported resource categories:** - **resources:** employees departments - **name:** HRIS — People & Organization - **name:** Accounting — Company & Structure - **resources:** company-info subsidiaries locations - **resources:** customers suppliers - **name:** Accounting — Contacts - **name:** Accounting — General Ledger - **resources:** ledger-accounts journal-entries tax-rates tracking-categories bank-accounts - **name:** Accounting — Sales & Receivables - **resources:** invoices credit-notes quotes payments aged-debtors - **name:** Accounting — Purchasing & Payables - **resources:** bills purchase-orders bill-payments aged-creditors - **resources:** invoice-items categories - **name:** Accounting — Products & Catalog - **name:** Accounting — Projects & Documents - **resources:** projects attachments - **difficulty reason:** Non-OAuth Token Auth + Multi-Step Per-Consumer App Connector Setup - **account type required:** A licensed AFAS Profit or AFAS Online environment with the modules you need (HRM for HRIS; Financieel, Facturering and Inkoop for accounting). - **environment notes:** - **description:** For development and testing against non-production data. The environment name is the company number plus its type, e.g. 12345.resttest (Test) or 12345.restaccept (Acceptance), each with its own separately issued App Connector token. - **environment:** Test / Acceptance - **environment:** Production - **description:** For live consumer data. The environment name is the company number plus rest, e.g. 12345.rest, with its own App Connector token. A Test or Acceptance token cannot be used against a production environment. - **sandbox note:** Every AFAS environment is licensed; customers clone a Test copy. AFAS Connect (connect.afas.nl) freely builds and tests connector calls. - **rate limits:** No published per-minute or per-day limit — AFAS applies a fair-use policy. - **consumer access level:** AFAS administrator, to create the App Connector and issue the token. - **costs:** No separate API or connector fee — REST access is included in an AFAS Profit or AFAS Online license. No free trial for non-customers. - **partnership note:** Certifying your integration through the optional Partner Program adds 1-2 AFAS test environments on the Accept platform. ## Supported resources [Accounting data model](/guides/accounting-data-model.md) -
