Users

This s a documentation page for our shiny new REST API - you weren't meant to find it. This API isn't ready for public use yet. We're chopping and changing it a LOT as we grow it. So if you build something that uses it then it's very likely to break in a future update. Don't say you weren't warned!

URL:

https://api.kashflow.com/v2/users

Method(s):

get,post,put,delete

Response Formats:

JSON, XML

Description:

This method allows you to retrieve, create, update and delete users.
The individual resource is identified by the user number. So /user/123 would return the user with number 123. Similarly a PUT to that URL would update user 123.
