In this article, I will provide a clear understanding of the object table and JSON output of the Apideck list credit notes API. As a programmer, it is essential to comprehend the structure of the data that we are working with. Object tables are an efficient way of representing data in a tabular form, while JSON output is a popular data format used to transmit and store data. By clarifying the specifics of these two concepts in the context of the Apideck list credit notes API, readers will have a deeper understanding of how to interact with the data and manipulate it to suit their needs.

The information provided in the table is useful for understanding the structure and contents of the Apideck list credit notes API. As a programmer, having a clear understanding of the objects and their descriptions is essential for effectively interacting with the data and extracting the necessary information. The table provides a concise overview of the different objects that can be found in the API, such as the credit note number, customer, currency, tax information, payment status, and dates. By understanding the different objects and their descriptions, programmers can build more effective integrations, extract relevant information, and troubleshoot issues. Additionally, this information can be useful for non-technical stakeholders who need a high-level understanding of the Apideck list credit notes API and its capabilities.

JSON REST output

The JSON output represents a response from the Apideck list credit notes API that includes information about a credit note. The output contains a total of 21 objects, including metadata and links. The "status_code" and "status" objects indicate the response status of the API call. The "service" and "resource" objects represent the specific service and resource that the API call is related to. The "operation" object describes the type of operation that was performed, which in this case is "all". The "data" object contains an array that includes detailed information about the credit note, such as the unique identifier, credit note number, customer details, currency, tax information, payment status, dates, and line items. The "meta" object includes additional information about the data, such as the number of items on the page and cursors for pagination. Finally, the "links" object contains links to the previous, current, and next pages for the data. Overall, this JSON output provides a comprehensive overview of the credit note data that can be retrieved through the Apideck list credit notes API.
