  Dualentry 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 Dualentry. Routes through Apideck with serviceId "dualentry".

# Dualentry (via Apideck)

Access Dualentry 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 Dualentry plumbing.

## Quick facts

- **Apideck serviceId:** `dualentry`
- **Unified API:** Accounting
- **Auth type:** apiKey
- **Apideck setup guide:** [Connection guide](https://developers.apideck.com/connectors/dualentry/docs/consumer+connection)
- **Dualentry docs:** https://dualentry.com
- **Homepage:** https://www.dualentry.com/

## When to use this skill

Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with **Dualentry** — for example, "create an invoice in Dualentry" or "reconcile payments in Dualentry". This skill teaches the agent:

1. Which Apideck unified API covers Dualentry (Accounting)
2. The correct `serviceId` to pass on every call (`dualentry`)
3. Dualentry-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 Dualentry
const { data } = await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({
  serviceId: "dualentry",
});
```

## Portable across 34 Accounting connectors

The Apideck **Accounting** unified API exposes the same methods for every connector in its catalog. Switching from Dualentry to another Accounting connector is a one-string change — no rewrite, no new SDK.

```typescript
// Today — Dualentry
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "dualentry" });

// 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 Dualentry 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.

## Dualentry via Apideck Accounting

Dualentry is a cloud accounting platform offering modern, double-entry bookkeeping with comprehensive multi-entity support. Broad Apideck coverage.

### Entity mapping

| Dualentry entity | Apideck Accounting resource |
|---|---|
| Invoice | `invoices` |
| Bill | `bills` |
| Bill Payment | `bill-payments` |
| Credit Note | `credit-notes` |
| Payment | `payments` |
| Journal Entry | `journal-entries` |
| Ledger Account | `ledger-accounts` |
| Customer | `customers` |
| Supplier | `suppliers` |
| Item | `invoice-items` |
| Purchase Order | `purchase-orders` |
| Expense | `expenses` |
| Subsidiary | `subsidiaries` |
| Attachments | `attachments` |

### Coverage highlights

- ✅ Full CRUD on invoices, bills, payments (incl. bill payments)
- ✅ Credit notes
- ✅ Journal entries
- ✅ Purchase orders
- ✅ Expenses
- ✅ Multi-subsidiary support
- ✅ Attachments on transactions
- ⚠️ Financial reports (P&L, Balance Sheet) — not in current mapping; use Proxy
- ❌ Payroll — separate surface

### Auth notes

- **Type:** API key, managed by Apideck Vault
- **Organization binding:** one Dualentry organization per connection.
- **Multi-subsidiary:** subsidiaries are exposed as a first-class resource; use `subsidiaries` to fetch and filter.

### Example: create a multi-line bill

```typescript
const { data } = await apideck.accounting.bills.create({
  serviceId: "dualentry",
  bill: {
    supplier_id: "sup_abc",
    bill_date: "2026-04-18",
    due_date: "2026-05-18",
    line_items: [
      { description: "Service A", quantity: 1, unit_price: 500 },
      { description: "Service B", quantity: 2, unit_price: 250 },
    ],
    currency: "USD",
  },
});
```

## Escape hatch: Proxy API

When an endpoint isn't covered by the Accounting unified API, use Apideck's Proxy to call Dualentry directly — Apideck injects auth headers and handles token refresh. Set `x-apideck-downstream-url` to the target endpoint on Dualentry'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: dualentry" \
  -H "x-apideck-downstream-url: <target endpoint on Dualentry>" \
  -H "x-apideck-downstream-method: GET"
```

See [Dualentry's API docs](https://dualentry.com) for available endpoints.
