RSS feed for invoices

Using the Glesys API, you can get an RSS feed for your invoices.

---

The Glesys API can be used for many purposes—for example, you can retrieve all invoices associated with the customer number linked to an account.

The PHP example below fetches a list of all invoices and formats them as an RSS feed. Deploy the script on your own server and create an API key that has permission to use the invoice/list function from your server’s IP address. Then add the feed to an RSS reader to receive notifications whenever a new invoice is sent to you.

More information about the API is available on GitHub.
