  • Create a moneybird developer account
  • Create an oauth2 application

  1. Go to your account, connectors menu and activate Moneybird in one click. Then, you will be asked to provide your Moneybird client ID & secret.
  2. Most of the scopes are mandatory. The β€œbank” scope can be added as well depending on your use case (using bank endpoints).

Test Moneybird

To test the software integration, you can use the sandbox account you created during the configuration process (step 2). You can create multiple sandbox accounts for free if needed.

Connect Moneybird

To activate a connection with Moneybird, users will have to go through the following steps.

Rate limits

The Moneybird API throttles requests on a per IP-address basis:
  • 150 requests per 5 minutes across all endpoints.
  • 50 requests per 5 minutes for the stricter /reports/ endpoints.
When the limit is exceeded, the API responds with a 429 Too many requests error. For short-term rate limits, Chift automatically retries the request to maximize the success rate. More details: https://docs.chift.eu/developer-guides/rate-limits Partners with popular OAuth applications can request a per-administration limit instead of IP-based limits, and volume-based agreements are possible for high-volume accounts β€” both require contacting Moneybird support directly.
