Digits integration via Apideck's Accounting unified API — same methods work across every connector in Accounting, switch by changing `serviceId`. Use when the user wants to read, write, or reconcile invoices, bills, payments, ledger accounts, and journal entries in Digits. Routes through Apideck with serviceId "digits".

# Digits (via Apideck)
Access Digits through Apideck's **Accounting** unified API — one of 34 Accounting connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to Access Financials, Acumatica, banqUP and 30 other Accounting connectors by changing a single `serviceId` string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant Digits plumbing.
> **Beta connector.** Digits is currently in beta on Apideck. Expect partial resource coverage and occasional mapping gaps. Always verify coverage (see below) and fall back to the Proxy API for unsupported operations.
## Quick facts
- **Apideck serviceId:** `digits`
- **Unified API:** Accounting
- **Auth type:** oauth2
- **Status:** beta
- **Digits docs:** https://digits.com
- **Homepage:** https://www.digits.com/
## When to use this skill
Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with **Digits** — for example, "create an invoice in Digits" or "reconcile payments in Digits". This skill teaches the agent:
1. Which Apideck unified API covers Digits (Accounting)
2. The correct `serviceId` to pass on every call (`digits`)
3. Digits-specific auth and coverage caveats
For the full method surface (parameters, pagination, filtering), use your language SDK skill:
- [`apideck-node`](../../skills/apideck-node/), [`apideck-python`](../../skills/apideck-python/), [`apideck-dotnet`](../../skills/apideck-dotnet/), [`apideck-java`](../../skills/apideck-java/), [`apideck-go`](../../skills/apideck-go/), [`apideck-php`](../../skills/apideck-php/), or [`apideck-rest`](../../skills/apideck-rest/)
For the raw OpenAPI spec:
- **Accounting:** [https://specs.apideck.com/accounting.yml](https://specs.apideck.com/accounting.yml) · [API Explorer](https://developers.apideck.com/api-explorer?id=accounting)
## Minimal example (TypeScript)
```typescript
import { Apideck } from "@apideck/unify";
const apideck = new Apideck({
apiKey: process.env.APIDECK_API_KEY,
appId: process.env.APIDECK_APP_ID,
consumerId: "your-consumer-id",
});
// List invoices in Digits
const { data } = await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({
serviceId: "digits",
});
```
## Portable across 34 Accounting connectors
The Apideck **Accounting** unified API exposes the same methods for every connector in its catalog. Switching from Digits to another Accounting connector is a one-string change — no rewrite, no new SDK.
```typescript
// Today — Digits
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "digits" });
// Tomorrow — same code, different connector
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "access-financials" });
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "acumatica" });
```
This is the compounding advantage of using Apideck over integrating Digits directly: code against the unified Accounting API once, gain access to every connector in it. New connectors Apideck adds become available to your app without code changes.
- ## Authentication
+ ## Digits via Apideck Accounting
- - **Type:** OAuth 2.0
- - **Managed by:** Apideck Vault — Apideck handles the full OAuth dance (authorization code flow, token exchange, refresh). Never ask the user for API keys or tokens directly.
- - **User setup:** Users authorize via the Vault modal. Connection state progresses `available → added → authorized → callable`.
- - **Token refresh:** automatic. Expired tokens are refreshed transparently on the next API call.
+ Digits is a modern US-focused accounting platform built for real-time financial visibility, popular with startups and venture-backed companies. Apideck coverage focuses on reporting and ledger views.
- See [`apideck-best-practices`](../../skills/apideck-best-practices/) for Vault setup, connection lifecycle, and handling re-auth flows.
+ ### Entity mapping
- ## Verifying coverage
+ | Digits entity | Apideck Accounting resource |
+ |---|---|
+ | Account | `ledger-accounts` |
+ | Journal Entry | `journal-entries` |
+ | Customer | `customers` |
+ | Vendor | `suppliers` |
+ | Dimension | `tracking-categories` |
+ | P&L, Balance Sheet | `profit-and-loss`, `balance-sheet` |
- Not every Accounting operation is supported by every connector. Always verify before assuming a method works:
+ ### Coverage highlights
- ```bash
- curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/connector/connectors/digits' \
- -H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
- -H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}"
- ```
+ - ✅ Ledger accounts (chart of accounts)
+ - ✅ Journal entries
+ - ✅ Customers, suppliers
+ - ✅ Financial reports (P&L, Balance Sheet)
+ - ✅ Dimensions (tracking categories)
+ - ❌ Invoices, bills, payments — Digits is primarily a reporting/analytics layer on top of QuickBooks/Xero; transactional writes go through those source systems
+ - ❌ AI-driven insights — Digits' signature feature; proprietary, not exposed
- See [`apideck-connector-coverage`](../../skills/apideck-connector-coverage/) for patterns around `UnsupportedOperationError` and connector-specific fallbacks.
+ ### Auth notes
+
+ - **Type:** OAuth 2.0, managed by Apideck Vault
+ - **Workspace binding:** one Digits workspace per connection.
+ - **Upstream source:** Digits typically syncs from QuickBooks or Xero. For transactional writes, use those connectors directly; use Digits for unified reporting views.
+
+ ### Example: fetch P&L for the quarter
+
+ ```typescript
+ const { data } = await apideck.accounting.profitAndLoss.get({
+ serviceId: "digits",
+ filter: { start_date: "2026-01-01", end_date: "2026-03-31" },
+ });
+ ```
## Escape hatch: Proxy API
When an endpoint isn't covered by the Accounting unified API, use Apideck's Proxy to call Digits directly — Apideck injects auth headers and handles token refresh. Set `x-apideck-downstream-url` to the target endpoint on Digits's own API:
```bash
curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/proxy' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
-H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}" \
-H "x-apideck-consumer-id: ${CONSUMER_ID}" \
-H "x-apideck-service-id: digits" \
-H "x-apideck-downstream-url: <target endpoint on Digits>" \
-H "x-apideck-downstream-method: GET"
```
See [Digits's API docs](https://digits.com) for available endpoints.
