MYOB (via Apideck)
Access MYOB 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 MYOB plumbing.
Quick facts
- Apideck serviceId:
myob - Unified API: Accounting
- Auth type: oauth2
- Gotchas: page

When to use this skill
Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with MYOB — for example, "create an invoice in MYOB" or "reconcile payments in MYOB". This skill teaches the agent:
- Which Apideck unified API covers MYOB (Accounting)
- The correct
serviceIdto pass on every call (myob) - MYOB-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, orapideck-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 MYOB
const { data } = await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({
serviceId: "myob",
});
Portable across 34 Accounting connectors
The Apideck Accounting unified API exposes the same methods for every connector in its catalog. Switching from MYOB to another Accounting connector is a one-string change — no rewrite, no new SDK.
// Today — MYOB
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "myob" });
// 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 MYOB 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.
MYOB via Apideck Accounting
MYOB is a major Australian/New Zealand accounting platform for SMB and mid-market. Apideck coverage focuses on invoicing and sales, with limited AP coverage currently.
Entity mapping
| MYOB entity | Apideck Accounting resource |
|---|---|
| Sale Invoice | invoices |
| Item Invoice | invoices |
| Customer | customers |
| Item | invoice-items |
| Account | ledger-accounts |
| TaxCode | tax-rates |
| Payment | payments |
| Company File | company-info |
Coverage highlights
- ✅ Invoices (CRUD)
- ✅ Customers
- ✅ Items / products
- ✅ Chart of accounts
- ✅ Tax codes (GST handling for AU/NZ)
- ✅ Customer payments
- ⚠️ Bills / supplier invoices — not in current Apideck mapping; use Proxy
- ⚠️ Journal entries — use Proxy
- ❌ Payroll — MYOB Payroll is a separate product surface
- ❌ Inventory management — use Proxy
Auth notes
- Type: OAuth 2.0, managed by Apideck Vault
- Company file binding: MYOB uses "company files" as the multi-tenant boundary. Each connection is bound to one company file. Multi-file access = multi-connection.
- Cloud vs desktop: Apideck targets MYOB AccountRight Live (cloud) and MYOB Business. Desktop-only company files aren't accessible.
- API rate limit: MYOB applies per-file rate limits; Apideck handles 429s with backoff.
Example: create an invoice for an AU customer
const { data } = await apideck.accounting.invoices.create({
serviceId: "myob",
invoice: {
customer_id: "cust_abc",
invoice_date: "2026-04-18",
line_items: [
{ description: "Consulting", quantity: 10, unit_price: 220, tax_rate: { id: "GST" } },
],
currency: "AUD",
},
});
Example: reach bills via Proxy
curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/proxy' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
-H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}" \
-H "x-apideck-consumer-id: ${CONSUMER_ID}" \
-H "x-apideck-service-id: myob" \
-H "x-apideck-downstream-url: /{company-file-id}/Purchase/Bill" \
-H "x-apideck-downstream-method: GET"
