CUSTOMER CHOICE
Third-party accessibility
Wave documents an OAuth authorization-code flow for applications. The applicable approval and distribution conditions for a chosen third party remain unresolved; no mobile-money Wave credentials are relevant to this product.
Confirm who can connect, who owns the credentials and which uses are permitted. Customer consent and provider approval can be separate requirements; the selected plan and contract still matter.
READ / INTEGRATE
API and export routes
Invoice queries select fields and page through a business’s invoices, including line items, amounts and modifiedAt. Customer and product relationships can be selected; this is not evidence that every bank transaction or file is exposed.
| Access route | Authentication | Credential owner | Provider approval | Access requirement | Last checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wave scoped API access | OAuth 2.0 | Customer | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | 2026-10-16 |
Availability depends on your product, plan and agreement. See the documentation below for the requirements of each route.
ECONOMIC ACCESS
Cost, authentication and limits
Minimum-plan API entitlement, access fees and production quotas were not established in the reviewed accounting developer pages. Free accounting availability alone does not establish free API access.
Check API entitlement, credential ownership and rate limits for the route you intend to use. Include review fees, customer-plan upgrades and ongoing access charges in the total.
ACT FROM OUTSIDE
External action
The public mutation example documents customerCreate. Invoice editing, journal posting and payment capture are not inferred from that customer operation.
Validate the supported operation, acting identity and permission scope (read access does not imply write permission). Ambiguous retries and revoked credentials also affect whether an external workflow can run safely.
KEEP ACCESS USEFUL
Continuity
Current invoice pages expose modifiedAt, but the reviewed example does not establish a server-side updated-since filter or complete deletion feed. Repeat snapshots remain the supported recovery basis within this scope.
CDC, deletions and recovery
| Question | Answer / applicable route | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Can ongoing extraction identify updates and deleted records on the declared route? | Full snapshots permit customer reconciliation; native deltas unverifiedWave accounting GraphQL public API / OAuth-authorized business invoices and customer creation; Wave mobile-money APIs are unrelated and excluded. Paged current invoice records support comparison; no native deletion feed established | Query: List invoices ↗Paged current invoice records support comparison; no native deletion feed establishedChecked 2026-10-16 |
| How can extraction recover after missed events or an interrupted consumer? | Rebuild from a fresh snapshot; no historical replay establishedWave accounting GraphQL public API / OAuth-authorized business invoices and customer creation; Wave mobile-money APIs are unrelated and excluded. Rebuild current invoice selection; retained earlier versions not established | Query: List invoices ↗Rebuild current invoice selection; retained earlier versions not establishedChecked 2026-10-16 |
Useful ongoing access includes corrections and deletions, not only the first export. A failed request, changed filter or lost resource permission should not be interpreted as a deleted record.
LEAVE WITH YOUR DATA
Data exit and portability
Structured invoices and their line items can be copied before cancellation. Linked PDF URLs, complete bank feeds and historical configurations require separate retrieval checks; cancellation rights remain unresolved.
Test the output against the destination’s required fields and history. Check stable identifiers, relationships, attachments and extraction time; a sample file proves only the coverage of that sample.
BUILD / INSPECT / REUSE
Business logic and customization
Applications can run external GraphQL client logic. Native workflow rights and independent execution remain unresolved (GraphQL field selection is not portable native automation).
Custom API access, ownership of workflows and the right to export their definitions are separate questions. A custom-app capability alone does not establish that business rules can move to another system.
