Create an invoice for a company

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>

API Key authentication.

Format: Authorization: Bearer beel_sk_<key>

Scopes: API Keys use the same scopes as OAuth2 tokens. Each key is created with specific scopes that limit which endpoints it can access. The required scope for each endpoint is documented in the operation's security section under OAuth2.

Obtaining Keys: API Keys are managed from the BeeL dashboard

Security: API Keys are secret credentials. Do not share them or store them in source code

In: header

Path Parameters

company_idstring

NIF (company) the operation acts on. It is the only source of context: the account that owns it is derived from it, and the BeeL-Active-Company header plays no part. A NIF you do not reach answers 403, and so does a NIF that does not exist, so the existence of a NIF in another account is never disclosed.

Formatuuid

Query Parameters

wait_for_pdf?boolean

Same flag as options.wait_for_pdf. Only applies when the invoice is issued in this call (options.issue_directly: true).

Defaultfalse

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key?string

Idempotency key to prevent duplicates in sensitive operations.

Any unique client-generated string (e.g. an order id). A UUID also works but is not required
Allowed characters: letters, digits, _ and - (max 255 chars)
If the same key is sent twice, the result of the first operation is returned
Keys expire 24 hours after processing

The key is scoped per user and environment, and bound to the request body, so retrying after a network timeout replays the stored response instead of repeating the operation.

Status	Code	When
`400`	`INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY`	The key breaks the format rules above.
`409`	`IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_PROCESSING`	The first request is still in flight. Wait and retry with the same key.
`409`	`IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISMATCH`	The key was already used with a different body. Use a new key.

Match^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$

Lengthlength <= 255

Request Body

typestring

Value in"STANDARD" | "CORRECTIVE" | "SIMPLIFIED" | "PROFORMA"

series_id?string

Invoicing series ID (if not specified, uses default)

Formatuuid

operation_date?string

Date when the operation actually occurred. Optional.

Use when invoicing for a past operation (e.g., services delivered last month but invoiced this month). Must be today or a past date.

If omitted, the operation date is assumed to be the same as the issue date (today).

The issue_date is always set automatically to today per Spanish anti-fraud law (Ley Antifraude / VeriFactu). To issue an invoice on a future date, create a draft and use POST /v1/invoices/{invoice_id}/schedule.

Formatdate

due_date?string

Payment due date. If not specified, calculated according to payment method. Must be the same as or after the issue date (today).

Formatdate

valid_until?string

Offer validity date. Only rendered on PROFORMA invoices; on any other invoice type the field is inert (accepted and stored, but never shown on the document). Optional and purely informational — nothing is triggered automatically when it passes. Not to be confused with due_date (payment due date).

Formatdate

recipient

lines

Items1 <= items

payment_info?

notes?string

Lengthlength <= 1000

external_ref?string

metadata?

Your own key/value pairs to cross-reference this invoice with records in your system (order ids, tenants, internal codes). Namespace them to avoid clashing with the system keys BeeL adds on payment-generated invoices.

options?

Controls how the invoice is processed after creation. All fields default to false if not specified, except verifactu_enabled, which falls back to the company's declared preference (see its description).

Common combinations:

Draft (default): omit options or set all to false
Issue immediately: { issue_directly: true }
Issue + wait for PDF: { issue_directly: true, wait_for_pdf: true }
Issue + send email: { issue_directly: true, send_automatically: true }
Full automation: { issue_directly: true, wait_for_pdf: true, send_automatically: true, email_config: { ... } }
