Introduction

Welcome to the documentation for the Expensify Integration Server. This is designed to give you all the information you need to integrate with Expensify. You will find information on how to programmatically download expense report data for analysis or insertion into your accounting package, provision accounts for new hires, and much more.

While the API is a self-serve tool, there is a great place to discuss API usage on our community forum.

Authentication

To use the API, you will need to generate API credentials.

  1. Create an Expensify account at https://www.expensify.com/
  2. Go to https://www.expensify.com/tools/integrations/
  3. A pair of credentials: partnerUserID and partnerUserSecret will be generated and shown on the page.

Request format

API call format

curl -X POST 'https://integrations.expensify.com/Integration-Server/ExpensifyIntegrations' \
    -d 'requestJobDescription={...}'

Every request to the Expensify API follows the same pattern: a JSON payload that identifies the job to execute is passed as a parameter called requestJobDescription. Additionally, other parameters may be needed based on the type of job.

Finally, there is a general rate limit of 50 jobs started per minute. Exceeding this limit will result in the following error message: You have been rate-limited. Please try again later or contact help@expensify.com for assistance.

Every request has to be made against the endpoint https://integrations.expensify.com/Integration-Server/ExpensifyIntegrations.

requestJobDescription format

curl -X POST 'https://integrations.expensify.com/Integration-Server/ExpensifyIntegrations' \
    -d 'requestJobDescription={
        "type":"...",
        "credentials":{
            "partnerUserID":"_REPLACE_",
            "partnerUserSecret":"_REPLACE_"
        },
        "inputSettings":{
            ...
        }
    }'

For every request, the requestJobDescription JSON parameter will need to contain the following data:

Parameter Type Description
type String The type of job to execute
credentials JSON object An object containing two key/values used to authenticate you: partnerUserID and partnerUserSecret.
inputSettings JSON Object Additional information about the job to execute

Export

Report Exporter

The following examples assume the template is stored in the file 'expensify_template.ftl'

  • Export reports by ID, to a CSV file
curl -X POST 'https://integrations.expensify.com/Integration-Server/ExpensifyIntegrations' \
    -d 'requestJobDescription={
        "type":"file",
        "credentials":{
            "partnerUserID":"_REPLACE_",
            "partnerUserSecret":"_REPLACE_"
        },
        "onReceive":{
            "immediateResponse":["returnRandomFileName"]
        },
        "inputSettings":{
            "type":"combinedReportData",
            "filters":{
                "reportIDList": "R00bCluvcO4T,R006AseGxMka"
            }
        },
        "outputSettings":{
            "fileExtension":"csv"
        }
    }' \
    --data-urlencode 'template@expensify_template.ftl'
  • Export at most 10 Approved and Reimbursed reports generated between 2016-01-01 and 2016-02-01 to an xlsx file named myExport.xlsx. The exported reports are then marked as exported with the label "Expensify Export" (markAsExported action), and an email with a link to the output is sent. Reports that have already been marked with the label "Expensify Export" are ignored (markedAsExported filter)
curl -X POST 'https://integrations.expensify.com/Integration-Server/ExpensifyIntegrations' \
    -d 'requestJobDescription={

     </#list>
</#list>
  • Template sample for a JSON array output.
[<#lt>
<#list cards as card, reports>
  <#list reports as report>
      <#list report.transactionList as expense>
        {<#lt>
              "Original Merchant": "${expense.originalMerchant}",<#lt>
              "Posted date": "${expense.posted}",<#lt>
              "Sales date": "${expense.originalCreated}",<#lt>

        }<#sep>,</#sep><#lt>
      </#list>
    </#list>
</#list>
]
  • Note: To output a .json file, one would change the fileExtension parameter of outputSettings to "json".

The template parameter is used to format the Expensify data as you wish. It is based on the Freemarker language's syntax.

Update tags 

Tags can be specified in two ways:

Tag levels dependency

For multi-level tagging, Expensify has the notion of tag level dependency. This means each tag level is dependent on the parent tag level above it. For more information and examples about multi-tagging, please refer to our help site.

Passing tag data in JSON (independent levels only)

Templates for Reconciliation

Introduction

Templates for reconciliation do not follow the same format as templates for the report exporter. The syntax rules are the same, as they both are based on Freemarker. However the data that you can access and how you access it are very different.

For more information beyond this documentation, please reach out to our Customer Community. Enjoy!

Basic format

Basic reconciliation template skeleton

<#-- Header Line -->
<#if addHeader>
  <#-- Print header information here -->
</#if>
<#list cards as card, reports>
  <#-- Print information on a per card basis here -->
  <#list reports as report>
    <#-- Print information on a per report basis here -->
    <#list report.transactionList as expense>
      <#-- Print information on a per expense basis here -->
    </#list>
  </#list>
</#list>
<#if addHeader>
  <#-- Print footer information here -->
</#if>

Reconciliation templates hold a map of cards to reports (cards) as their basic reference data structure. Reports contain transactions, held in the report's transactionList. Any transaction that is not reported, but still from a card, will be placed on a report with an id of 0 in that card's set of reports.

In the archetypical example to the right, we iterate over each entry of the cards map. For each card, we iterate over the reports mapped to that card. For each report we iterate over each expense that belongs to the report. Again, any expenses on a card that are unreported will show up under the report with id=0. At any point during each iteration we can print information on a per-card, per-report, or per-expense basis.

Object Reference

Default reconciliation template - When you run a reconciliation report in Expensify via Loading Dock in Domain Control, this is the template that we use to generate your reconciliation report:

Imports

You can import extra information using import statements like so:

<!-- use _REPLACE_ -->

The bundles currently accessible right now are:

<!-- use cardOwnerData -->
<!-- use reportPolicyData -->
<!-- use categoryGLCodeMap -->
<!-- use repordFieldData[reportFieldName1, reportFieldName2] -->

In addition to all the data in the cards map, you can use import statements in your template to bring in extra data.

Accessible data packages are:

Card Owner Data

You can access your Employee Data under the cardOwnerData object:

<!-- use cardOwnerData -->
...
<#assign individualEmployeeObject = cardOwnerData[card.owner]!{}>
<#assign individualEmployeeData = individualEmployeeObject.mapData!{}>
EmployeeID: ${individualEmployeeObject.employeeID}
First name: ${individualEmployeeData.firstName}
Last name: ${individualEmployeeData.lastName}
Some Custom Field: ${individualEmployeeData["customFieldName1"]}

This is for companies that have enterprise employee import set up. With this enabled you can bring in your custom employee information to be used in your reconciliation report.

All custom employee information is stored in a map: cardOwnerData. The key-value pairs in the map are the custom field names mapped to their values.

Report Policy Data

You can access your relevant Policy Data under the reportPolicyData object:

<!-- use reportPolicyData -->
...
<#assign policy = reportPolicyData[report.policyID]!{}>
${policy.name!""}
${policy.approver!""}

You can load information about the relevant policies of reports included in your reconciliation report. The policy information will be stored in a map: reportPolicyData. The map will be keyed by the policyID - which can be accessed by referencing report.policyID. The value will contain an object with relevant policy information:

Name Description
approver The final approver of the policy, if set.
name The name of the policy.
owner The owner of the policy.
outputCurrency The default currency of the policy.
technicalContact The technical contact of the policy.

Category GL Codes

You can access GL Codes for Categories under the categoryGLCodeMap object:

<!-- use categoryGLCodeMap -->
...
<#assign categoryGlCode = categoryGLCodeMap[expense.category]!"">
${expense.category} : ${categoryGlCode}

You can access the GL codes of expense categories. They will be stored in a map: categoryGLCodeMap. The map will be keyed by the category name, which is accessed normally through expense.category. The value will be the GL code for that category name.

Report Field Data

You need to include the name of each Report Field you want to bring in via the import like so:

<!-- use repordFieldData[reportFieldName1, reportFieldName2] -->

Then, you can access the report field per report via:

<#assign reportID = report.ID?c>
reportFieldData.reportFieldName1[reportID]

You can access the report fields for reports. The import statement works a bit differently from the regular report information. You need to specify each report field that you want to bring in directly in the import. The reportFieldData will contain a map, with each report field name as a key pointing to a map of reportIDs to report field values on those reports.
