Dualentry (via Apideck)

Access Dualentry through Apideck's Accounting unified API — one of 34 Accounting connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to Access Financials, Acumatica, banqUP and 30 other Accounting connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant Dualentry plumbing.

At a glance

Implementation difficulty: moderate — API Key Authentication — Credential Generated by the Consumer's DualEntry Administrator
Vendor partnership required: no — Apideck holds an approved partnership with DualEntry, so no application or certification is required from you.
Apideck-managed credentials: not available — Each consumer supplies their own API key; there is no shared Apideck credential.
Account type required: Any DualEntry plan. Multi-company tenants supported; scope to a Default Company or the whole tenant.
Consumer access level: Organisation administrator — only an admin can generate the API key, via Settings > Organization > Developer access.
Sandbox: available (signup) — A separate Development environment at api-dev.dualentry.com with its own organisations and API keys; a production key will not authenticate there.
Costs: No separate API fee — bundled into the DualEntry subscription, which lists Open API as a plan feature.
Rate limits: 300 requests/min per API key across all endpoints; 60 requests/min per endpoint; invoice create/update capped at 2/min.
Authentication: Sent in the X-API-KEY header, not OAuth. The key is a long-lived organisation credential with no expiry.
Webhooks: No webhooks — not supported by DualEntry's API.

Important to know:

The API key is not self-service for you: the consumer's own DualEntry administrator must generate it, and DualEntry shows it only once at creation — if it is lost, a new key must be issued and the old one revoked.
On a multi-company tenant, a read that does not name a company returns records from every company in the tenant. Set a Default Company on the connection, or send an x-apideck-company-id header per request.
DualEntry offers no free trial. Every plan includes accountant-led implementation instead, so evaluating the platform means going through their onboarding rather than self-serving.

When to use this skill

Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with Dualentry — for example, "create an invoice in Dualentry" or "reconcile payments in Dualentry". This skill teaches the agent:

Which Apideck unified API covers Dualentry (Accounting)
The correct serviceId to pass on every call (dualentry)
Dualentry-specific auth and coverage caveats

For the full method surface (parameters, pagination, filtering), use your language SDK skill:

apideck-node, apideck-python, apideck-dotnet, apideck-java, apideck-go, apideck-php, or apideck-rest

Minimal example (TypeScript)

import { Apideck } from "@apideck/unify";

const apideck = new Apideck({
  apiKey: process.env.APIDECK_API_KEY,
  appId: process.env.APIDECK_APP_ID,
  consumerId: "your-consumer-id",
});

// List invoices in Dualentry
const { data } = await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({
  serviceId: "dualentry",
});

Portable across 34 Accounting connectors

The Apideck Accounting unified API exposes the same methods for every connector in its catalog. Switching from Dualentry to another Accounting connector is a one-string change — no rewrite, no new SDK.

// Today — Dualentry
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "dualentry" });

// Tomorrow — same code, different connector
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "access-financials" });
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "acumatica" });

This is the compounding advantage of using Apideck over integrating Dualentry directly: code against the unified Accounting API once, gain access to every connector in it. New connectors Apideck adds become available to your app without code changes.
