Myob

MYOB (via Apideck)

Access MYOB through Apideck's Accounting unified API — one of 34 Accounting connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to Access Financials, Acumatica, banqUP and 30 other Accounting connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant MYOB plumbing.

Quick facts

• Apideck serviceId: myob
• Unified API: Accounting
• Auth type: oauth2
• Gotchas: page
• MYOB docs: https://developer.myob.com
• Homepage: https://myob.com

At a glance

• Implementation difficulty: moderate — Sandbox access is tied to the paid Developer Program — there is no free self-service sandbox
• Vendor partnership required: no (MYOB Developer Program) — No partner program gates API access; the optional Developer Program adds software entitlements and an App Marketplace listing.
• Apideck-managed credentials: Available for testing — the OAuth consent screen shows "Apideck". Use your own registered MYOB app for production.
• Account type required: Active MYOB Business subscription (formerly Essentials); AccountRight is also supported.
• Consumer access level: Account holder, or any user with access to the company file.
• Sandbox: available (signup) — Shared sandbox company file, included with Developer Program membership.
• Costs: API access is free. The optional Developer Program costs AUD $110, $220, or $630 per month incl. GST (2026 pricing).
• Rate limits: 8 requests/second and 1,000,000 requests/day per API key.
• Authentication: OAuth 2.0 (Authorization Code)
• Webhooks: No webhooks — MYOB Business exposes no native webhook API and virtual webhooks are not enabled for this connector; sync by polling.

Important to know:

• One connection covers one company file — consumers running several MYOB company files need a separate connection for each.
• MYOB Business fits Australian and New Zealand entities — each MYOB company file is AU/NZ-based, and the ledger's local currency is AUD or NZD.

When to use this skill

Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with MYOB — for example, "create an invoice in MYOB" or "reconcile payments in MYOB". This skill teaches the agent:

1. Which Apideck unified API covers MYOB (Accounting)
2. The correct serviceId to pass on every call (myob)
3. MYOB-specific auth and coverage caveats

For the full method surface (parameters, pagination, filtering), use your language SDK skill:

• apideck-node, apideck-python, apideck-dotnet, apideck-java, apideck-go, apideck-php, or apideck-rest

For the raw OpenAPI spec:

• Accounting: https://specs.apideck.com/accounting.yml · API Explorer

Minimal example (TypeScript)

import { Apideck } from "@apideck/unify";

const apideck = new Apideck({
  apiKey: process.env.APIDECK_API_KEY,
  appId: process.env.APIDECK_APP_ID,
  consumerId: "your-consumer-id",
});

// List invoices in MYOB
const { data } = await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({
  serviceId: "myob",
});

Portable across 34 Accounting connectors

The Apideck Accounting unified API exposes the same methods for every connector in its catalog. Switching from MYOB to another Accounting connector is a one-string change — no rewrite, no new SDK.

// Today — MYOB
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "myob" });

// Tomorrow — same code, different connector
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "access-financials" });
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "acumatica" });

This is the compounding advantage of using Apideck over integrating MYOB directly: code against the unified Accounting API once, gain access to every connector in it. New connectors Apideck adds become available to your app without code changes.

MYOB via Apideck Accounting

MYOB is a major Australian/New Zealand accounting platform for SMB and mid-market. Apideck coverage focuses on invoicing and sales, with limited AP coverage currently.

Entity mapping

Coverage highlights

• ✅ Invoices (CRUD)
• ✅ Customers
• ✅ Items / products
• ✅ Chart of accounts
• ✅ Tax codes (GST handling for AU/NZ)
• ✅ Customer payments
• ⚠️ Bills / supplier invoices — not in current Apideck mapping; use Proxy
• ⚠️ Journal entries — use Proxy
• ❌ Payroll — MYOB Payroll is a separate product surface
• ❌ Inventory management — use Proxy

Auth notes

• Type: OAuth 2.0, managed by Apideck Vault
• Company file binding: MYOB uses "company files" as the multi-tenant boundary. Each connection is bound to one company file. Multi-file access = multi-connection.
• Cloud vs desktop: Apideck targets MYOB AccountRight Live (cloud) and MYOB Business. Desktop-only company files aren't accessible.
• API rate limit: MYOB applies per-file rate limits; Apideck handles 429s with backoff.

Example: create an invoice for an AU customer

const { data } = await apideck.accounting.invoices.create({
  serviceId: "myob",
  invoice: {
    customer_id: "cust_abc",
    invoice_date: "2026-04-18",
    line_items: [
      { description: "Consulting", quantity: 10, unit_price: 220, tax_rate: { id: "GST" } },
    ],
    currency: "AUD",
  },
});

Example: reach bills via Proxy

curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/proxy' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
  -H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}" \
  -H "x-apideck-consumer-id: ${CONSUMER_ID}" \
  -H "x-apideck-service-id: myob" \
  -H "x-apideck-downstream-url: /{company-file-id}/Purchase/Bill" \
  -H "x-apideck-downstream-method: GET"
