A booked document drops out of the queue. ## Request 1 field. | Field | In | Type | Required | Description | | --------- | ----- | ------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `sandbox` | query | string | — | Sandbox reads the org's SANDBOX ledger when it is exactly "true"; anything else reads the live one. | ## Response | Status | Body | Meaning | | --------- | --------------- | ------- | | `200` | books.inboxOut | ok | | `default` | problem-details | refused | `200` body — 19 fields. | Field | In | Type | Always | Description | | ------------------------------------------- | ---- | ------------------ | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `items` | body | books.InboxItem\[] | — | Items is every document still unsorted or in draft, newest first. | | `items[].category` | body | string | — | Category is the expense account the scanner proposed, as a chart number — a PROPOSAL, not a posting: nothing is booked until it is accepted. | | `items[].confidence` | body | string | — | Confidence is how sure the scanner is of that reading, and is the signal for whether a person needs to check it before it is booked. | | `items[].createdAt` | body | string | — | CreatedAt is when the document was uploaded. | | `items[].extracted` | body | books.Extracted | — | | | `items[].extracted.category` | body | string | — | Category is the expense bucket the SCANNER guessed, as a slug — a hint only. | | `items[].extracted.currency` | body | string | — | Currency is the ISO code the document is denominated in. | | `items[].extracted.issuedAt` | body | string | — | IssuedAt is the document's OWN date as YYYY-MM-DD — when the bill was issued, which is not when it was uploaded or when it will post. | | `items[].extracted.lineItems` | body | books.LineItem\[] | — | LineItems are the individual lines read off the document, where it had any. | | `items[].extracted.lineItems[].amountCents` | body | integer (int64) | — | AmountCents is that line's amount in whole cents. | | `items[].extracted.lineItems[].description` | body | string | — | Description is the line as it appears on the document. | | `items[].extracted.merchant` | body | string | — | Merchant is the supplier as printed on the document. | | `items[].extracted.note` | body | string | — | Note is anything else worth carrying from the document that has no field of its own. | | `items[].extracted.taxCents` | body | integer (int64) | — | TaxCents is how much of that total is tax, in cents. | | `items[].extracted.totalCents` | body | integer (int64) | — | TotalCents is the document total in whole cents, tax INCLUDED. | | `items[].filename` | body | string | — | Filename is the name the document was uploaded under, for a person to recognise it by. | | `items[].id` | body | string | — | ID is the CONTENT HASH of the uploaded bytes, which is what makes the queue idempotent: re-uploading the same document returns this item rather than adding a second one. | | `items[].status` | body | string | — | Status is where the document is in the queue — unsorted until the scanner has read it, and thereafter whether it is waiting on a person or has been booked. | | `items[].vendor` | body | string | — | Vendor is the supplier the scanner identified, surfaced beside the item so a queue renders without opening each document. | Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors). ## Examples **CLI** ```bash hanzo books inbox get ``` **SDK** **.ts** ```ts import { Configuration, BooksApi } from 'hanzoai'; const api = new BooksApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY })); const { data } = await api.getBooksInbox(); ``` **.py** ```python from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration from hanzoai.cloud.api import BooksApi client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"])) result = BooksApi(client).get_books_inbox() ``` **.go** ```go cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration() cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY")) client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg) resp, _, err := client.BooksAPI.GetBooksInbox(context.Background()).Execute() if err != nil { return err } ``` **.rs** ```rust use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, books_api}; let mut cfg = Configuration::new(); cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok(); let result = books_api::get_books_inbox(&cfg, Default::default()).await?; ``` **.java** ```java import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient; import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.BooksApi; ApiClient client = new ApiClient(); client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY")); var result = new BooksApi(client).getBooksInbox(); ``` **HTTP** ```bash curl https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/books/inbox \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" ``` **MCP** MCP reaches **books** through the `books` tool, which names its 20 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them: ```bash curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "describe", "arguments": { "op": "list_book_accounts" } } }' ``` --- [Books API](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi/books) · [All Hanzo APIs](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi) · [Interactive reference](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi/reference)
