Delete an invoice

Scopeinvoices:write

Deletes a draft invoice. The record is marked as deleted rather than removed.

DELETE
/v1/invoices/{invoice_id}

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>

Keys are prefixed beel_sk_, and each one carries the scopes it was created with: a key short of the scope an operation needs is answered 403. The scope an operation requires is shown next to its title, and the full catalogue lives in the Scopes reference.

Keys are created from the BeeL dashboard. They are secret credentials: do not share them or commit them to source control.

Header Parameters

BeeL-Active-Company?string

Which company (tax ID) the request operates on.

An API key belongs to an account, and an account may hold several companies. Endpoints that read or write company-owned data — invoices, customers, products, series, tax and VeriFactu settings — resolve their target company from this header when the path does not already name one.

On a path that names the company, such as /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices, the path is the target and this header is not read at all: it neither switches the target nor makes the request fail, so sending one that disagrees with the path is silently ignored rather than rejected. Prefer those paths whenever you need to be explicit about which tax ID you are operating on.

On an account holding a single company the header may be omitted — that company is used. On an account holding several it is required: the request fails with 403 ACTIVE_COMPANY_REQUIRED otherwise. A company-owned record always belongs to one tax ID, so operating on it without saying which one has no meaning.

The company does not have to belong to the API key's own account: one you manage works too, which is what makes the company_id returned by POST /v1/accounts usable here to invoice on a provisioned account's behalf. What you may do with it is then decided by your access level over that account, and issuing also requires a signed fiscal representation.

This header is how you operate on a company, never how you find one: a value you do not reach answers 403, the same as one that does not exist, so guessing reveals nothing. Get the company_id from the response that created the company.

Requires the companies:read scope. Returns 403 if the company is neither yours nor one you manage.

Preview the PDF of a draft invoice GET

Renders the PDF of a draft invoice on the fly, without storing it, and returns it as `application/pdf`. - **Deprecated:** use `GET /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}/pdf/preview`, which behaves identically.

Issue an invoice POST

Finalizes a draft invoice: assigns its definitive number from the configured series and makes it immutable. Irreversible. - **Deprecated:** use `POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}/issue`, which behaves identically. - **PDF:** the PDF is generated asynchronously unless `wait_for_pdf` is `true`, which waits for it and returns its URL.
