Authorization

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.

Duplicate an invoice as a draft (deprecated) POST

Creates a copy of an existing invoice as a new draft. - **Deprecated:** use `POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/derivations`, which creates the same draft. - **Difference:** the source invoice travels there in the body as `from_invoice_id` instead of in the path, and `mode` is required. - **What is copied:** recipient, lines, payment method, series and observations. Number, status, dates, VeriFactu data and PDF are reset. **Retires on 9 December 2026.** See the [migration guide](https://docs.beel.es/changelog/resources-under-the-nif) for what moved where and what changes when you switch.

Delete an invoice (deprecated) DELETE

Deletes a draft invoice. The record is marked as deleted rather than removed. - **Deprecated:** use `DELETE /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}`, which behaves identically. - **Proformas:** if the draft came from converting a proforma, deleting it returns that proforma to `ACTIVE`. **Retires on 9 December 2026.** See the [migration guide](https://docs.beel.es/changelog/resources-under-the-nif) for what moved where and what changes when you switch.
