# Sage Business Cloud Accounting — Accounting API: overview > Canonical URL: https://developers.apideck.com/apis/accounting/sage-business-cloud-accounting/overview Take control of your business finances with Sage Business Cloud Accounting software. Find out about our online business solution for managing cash flow. - Status: live - Authentication: oauth2 - **account type required:** Active Sage Business Cloud Accounting subscription in Canada, the United Kingdom or Ireland. - **apideck credentials available:** false - **apideck credentials note:** Apideck credentials cover evaluation and testing only; going live means registering your own Sage app. - **authentication note:** Authorization Code flow. - **consumer access level:** Sage account holder, or any user with permission to authorise applications. - **costs:** Free — Sage charges nothing for API access or developer registration. Your consumers pay for their own Sage Accounting subscription. - **difficulty:** moderate - **difficulty reason:** Self-Service OAuth Signup + Manual Sage Account Authorization Required for Production - **environment notes:** - **description:** Testing and production share the same credentials and the same base URL — Sage has no separate sandbox host. Test against a free trial Accounting business created from the developer portal, using a separate trial per country you target, and take the usual care before pointing an integration at a live business's books. - **environment:** Single environment - **important to know:** The connector's country setting lists seven options, but only Sage Accounting's three supported countries authenticate — choosing France, Germany, Spain or the United States fails at authorization. Every connection needs a Default Company selected before it can be used, even when the consumer's Sage login can reach only one business — the connection stays incomplete until it is set. Refresh tokens expire after 31 days and rotate on every use, so a consumer whose integration sits unused for over a month has to re-authorise. Feature and endpoint availability depends on your consumer's Sage subscription tier, so a workflow that succeeds for one consumer can fail for another on a cheaper plan. - **partnership note:** Trial businesses and API access need no enrollment; Sage Partner Central adds a Sage Marketplace listing for your integration. - **partnership portal name:** Sage Partner Central - **partnership required:** false - **partnership url:** https://partnercentral.sage.com/prm/English/s/applicant - **rate limits:** 1,296,000 requests per app per day;
