Your API First Request

To make an API call, you need to direct your HTTP request to the relevant endpoint. Your request must include the required headers and body parameters where applicable.

Your request may also include any relevant URL query parameters.

Endpoints

You must direct your request to the relevant endpoint with the required HTTP verb. For example, to get a list of contacts for a Sage Accounting UK user, you would make an HTTP GET request to https://api.columbus.sage.com/uki/sageone/accounts/v3/contacts.

More information about each endpoint and the optional / required body parameters is available in the resource specific documentation accessible from the menu on the left.
