Step 3: Explore
Gain immediate insight into the finances of the linked company by:
- Checking data freshness
- Accessing synchronised data
- Pushing data (creating/updating records)
Check data freshness
- Go to Codat's Swagger page.
- Under Companies, use the GET /companies/{companyId}/dataStatus endpoint to check the last time a data type was synchronised.
- The status for the last time each data type was synced successfully:
lastSuccessfulSync.

},
Access synchronised data
Codat exposes endpoints for easily querying each of the supported data types; each of these endpoints is detailed in our Swagger documentation.
For example, when querying invoices, you can use the GET /companies/{companyId}/data/invoices endpoint, with query string parameters as below:
companyId – ID of the company you wish to view a data type record (see GET /companies endpoint to get companyId)
pageSize – the size of page you wish to retrieve
page – which page number you wish to retrieve
orderBy – the property you wish to order the response by
query – any filter you wish to perform on the returned data (see Querying for details)
Sample request
{

{
"id": "0736c578-3e50-458a-881a-f4326c88bd85",

Push data (creating/updating records)
Codat supports two types of push to a company's data source:
- operations to create a record in a company's accounting software (POST) and
- operations to update an existing record (PUT).
Create new data
The endpoint for pushing a record is as follows:
POST /companies/{companyId}/connections/{connectionId}/push/{dataType}.
An example would be posting a new invoice to an accounting package for your company.
Required parameters
companyId – ID of company you wish to create new data type record (see GET /companies endpoint to get companyId)
connectionId – ID of linked platform you wish to create new data type record (see GET /companies/{companyid}/connections endpoint to get connectionId)

Update existing data
In addition to POST type of push operation, Codat supports push operations to update an existing record - PUT.
The endpoint for pushing a record is as follows: PUT/companies/{companyId}/connections/{connectionId}/push/{dataType}.
An example would be updating the status of an invoice in an accounting package for your company.
Required parameters
companyId – ID of company you wish to update existing data type record (see GET /companies endpoint to get companyId)
connectionId – ID of linked platform you wish to update existing data type record (see GET /companies/{companyid}/connections) endpoint to get connectionId
invoiceId – ID of existing invoice data you wish to update (see GET /companies/{companyId}/data/invoices endpoint to get invoiceId)
