API reference

Categories

POST /v1/categories/get — the platform category taxonomy: 14 primary categories with detailed subcategories.

All endpoints are POST with a JSON body, authenticated with your secret key (Authentication). Errors use the standard envelope; money is in major units with an iso_currency_code; dates are YYYY-MM-DD strings.

Get categories

POST/v1/categories/get

Returns the full, static category taxonomy used everywhere: transaction category / category_detailed, recurring streams, and the AI categorizer. The taxonomy is versioned with the API — treat it as an enum, not free text. The body is an empty JSON object.
