Adam is the AI accounting agent for small businesses on useadam.io. It automates bookkeeping workflows, understands natural language, and keeps financial data consistent with what business owners see in the product. The Developer API is a REST surface on a single base URL so you can integrate Adam into your own stack, marketplaces, or automation tools (Zapier, Make, internal ETL, partner onboarding flows, and more).
The Developer API is available when your business meets Adam’s Developer API subscription rules. Without an active qualifying subscription, protected routes return 403 Forbidden.

Who this documentation is for

Business integrators

Product and engineering teams connecting their Adam business to internal tools, billing systems, or workflows. You use the business secret key (tyms_sk_...) from Settings → API.

Partners

Referral business partners (distributors) who onboard new Adam businesses and may integrate on the owner’s behalf. You use a partner key for Register business only, then each business’s secret key for all other endpoints.

What you can build

  • AI-assisted creates — Invoices, bills, expenses, income, journals, contacts, chart-of-accounts lines, and bank statement lines from prompts plus optional files (see Attachments).
  • CRUD and reads — List, get, update, and delete the same record types the app manages, scoped to one business per key.
  • Banking — List banks and bank transactions; upload and categorize activity through the same AI-assisted pipeline as the app.
  • Financial reports — Income statement, balance sheet, trial balance, and cash flow aligned with in-app Adam reports (Income statement and sibling endpoints under Reports).
