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
- **Gotchas:** [page](https://developers.apideck.com/apis/accounting/digits/gotchas)
- **Digits docs:** https://digits.com
- **Homepage:** https://www.digits.com/
+
+ ## At a glance
+
+ - **Implementation difficulty:** moderate — Self-service signup and sandbox — app approval required before other organisations can install your app
+ - **Vendor partnership required:** no — No partner programme, certification or marketplace listing to complete — a free developer account is all you need.
+ - **Apideck-managed credentials:** available — OAuth consent shows "Apideck" as the requesting application. Register your own Digits app for production.
+ - **Account type required:** Digits account (the connecting organisation's own Digits ledger)
+ - **Consumer access level:** Any user who can authorise third-party access to the Digits organisation — Digits documents no minimum role.
+ - **Sandbox:** available ([signup](https://developer.digits.com/docs/developer-sandbox-testing-your-app)) — Free, resettable Developer Sandbox with demo data, one per developer account. No live bank connections, and collaborator invites are disabled.
+ - **Costs:** No cost for API access — Digits charges no fees, usage paywalls or marketplace commissions (verified June 2026).
+ - **Rate limits:** 180 requests/minute per client ID and 60 requests/minute per access token. Approved production apps can request higher limits.
+ - **Authentication:** Authorization Code flow.
+ - **Webhooks:** No webhooks — neither native nor virtual; poll for changes. Digits has a webhook contract of its own, but it is in private beta and unused here.
+
+ **Important to know:**
+
+ - Connecting your own Digits businesses works from day one. Installing your app into any organisation outside your own requires Digits to approve it first, requested by email.
+ - The Digits Connect API launched publicly in October 2025 and its surface is still expanding, so expect capability to grow between releases.
+ - Uninstalling your app from an organisation revokes its tokens — that connection stops working until the consumer authorises again.

## 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.
## Digits via Apideck Accounting
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.
### Entity mapping
| 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` |
### Coverage highlights
- ✅ 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
### 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.
