# REST API

Connect your own software to EenFactuurMaken.nl with REST API v1. Base URL, your first request, what you can do and where to find the full reference.

With the REST API you create customers, products and invoices from your own software: your web shop, CRM, time tracking or a script. It's the same API the web app and the [MCP server](https://eenfactuurmaken.nl/en/docs/mcp) use, so almost everything you can do in the app, you can also do through the API. The API is included in every plan.

## Quick start

1. **Create an API key** under **Settings → API & AI**. See [API keys and apps](https://eenfactuurmaken.nl/en/docs/security/api-keys).
2. **Send it** in the `Authorization: Bearer efm_…` header.
3. **Make your first request**:

```bash
curl https://eenfactuurmaken.nl/api/v1/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EENFACTUURMAKEN_API_KEY"
```

You get back your account, your plan, its limits and your usage this month. If that works, you can do everything.

> **Dutch rules in the API**
>
> The API applies the same rules as the app: [invoice checks](https://eenfactuurmaken.nl/en/docs/invoices/checks) when you issue, sequential [numbering](https://eenfactuurmaken.nl/en/docs/invoices/numbering), the right [VAT treatment](https://eenfactuurmaken.nl/en/docs/vat/treatments) and your [plan limits](https://eenfactuurmaken.nl/en/docs/billing/plans).
