Hi harvey1916,

 

Thanks for reaching out, Yes API vs the front-end importing option is very different. You would need to build an integration or use an existing app to integrate with AccountRight or Essentials. 

 

From the file you have attached this looks like you are importing a new card file. When using the API if we wanted to POST a new card file we would want to use the endpoint `/{cf_uri}/Contact/Customer` 

 

We have required and read-only fields which you can view on our endpoint documentation HERE.

Thanks for the reply Han-Solo .

When checking the Customer End Point API, i see that the data used are for creating/Updating/Deleting Customer Info, however my Uploaded file has Item Description and Item Lines info like Qty of Items(included in description), Unit Price per Item, Tax code of Item, and so on., 

Looking for something else?
