Timesheets API v1

Reckon One API v2 is now available.
Time Entries API v2 endpoints provides you with more information about your Timesheets/Time Entries.

Supported Endpoints and Methods 

The endpoint can be found at: https://api.reckon.com/R1/{BOOKID}/timesheets

Methods supported:   GET, POST, DELETE

The Book ID represents the unique GUID of the Book the user wants to write data to. For example c1b3da90-e9df-4d57-8cfb-71a1d7bfe401 

Note: Reckon One supports both timesheets in a daily and weekly format. The API is able to support both of these requirements for posting but please note that when you retrieve a weekly timesheet, it will be returned as a series of single timesheets to provide all data required. 

The customer must have Reckon One Time and Expenses module for this API to be available. If the user does not have access to this module, the response of ‘user does not have access’ with a 401 HTTP response will be returned.
