It is the double-entry ledger projected to the register a human reads, filterable by posting-time window, category and vendor. Strictly read-only — it restates the books, it never moves them. ## Request 6 fields. | Field | In | Type | Required | Description | | ---------- | ----- | ------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `sandbox` | query | string | — | Sandbox reads the org's SANDBOX ledger when it is exactly "true". | | `from` | query | string | — | From is the RFC3339 start of the posting-time window, inclusive. | | `to` | query | string | — | To is the RFC3339 end of the posting-time window, inclusive. | | `category` | query | string | — | Category filters to one COA account, named by number ("5300") or by category slug ("software"). | | `vendor` | query | string | — | Vendor filters to rows whose vendor or description contains this text, case-insensitively. | | `limit` | query | integer | — | Limit caps how many rows come back; 200 when absent or not positive. | ## Response | Status | Body | Meaning | | --------- | --------------------- | ------- | | `200` | books.transactionsOut | ok | | `default` | problem-details | refused | `200` body — 9 fields. | Field | In | Type | Always | Description | | ----------------------------- | ---- | --------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `transactions` | body | books.Txn\[] | — | Transactions is the matching register rows, newest first. | | `transactions[].amountCents` | body | integer (int64) | — | AmountCents is the voucher's total, in whole cents — its total debit, which equals its total credit because every voucher balances. | | `transactions[].category` | body | string | — | Category is the chart-of-accounts NUMBER of the income or expense account this voucher touched — where it lands on the P\&L, not a free-text label. | | `transactions[].categoryName` | body | string | — | CategoryName is that account's human name, so a caller need not carry the chart to render the row. | | `transactions[].date` | body | string | — | Date is when the voucher POSTED — the accounting date the reports window on, which for an imported bank row is the bank's date and not the day it landed here. | | `transactions[].description` | body | string | — | Description is the line a person reads: the memo carried in from the source. | | `transactions[].source` | body | string | — | Source is where the entry came from: bank\_txn for an imported statement line, scan for a receipt or bill read by the scanner, commerce\_txn for a sale booked by the store. | | `transactions[].vendor` | body | string | — | Vendor is the counterparty, resolved from whatever the source knew — a bank row's merchant, a scanned bill's supplier. | | `transactions[].voucherId` | body | integer (int64) | — | VoucherID identifies the underlying double-entry voucher, so a caller can open the full set of legs behind this single register line. | Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors). ## Examples **CLI** ```bash hanzo books transactions ``` **SDK** **.ts** ```ts import { Configuration, BooksApi } from 'hanzoai'; const api = new BooksApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY })); const { data } = await api.getBooksTransactions(); ``` **.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_transactions() ``` **.go** ```go cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration() cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY")) client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg) resp, _, err := client.BooksAPI.GetBooksTransactions(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_transactions(&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).getBooksTransactions(); ``` **HTTP** ```bash curl https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/books/transactions \ -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)
