Lightspeed Financial API

V1 endpoints (`/f/finance/...`) for retrieving sales and financial data.For the newer V2 versions of these endpoints see FinancialV2### V1 behaviour- **Sorting**: No guaranteed sorting order; internal transformations may alter order unpredictably- **Transitory Accounts / Unsettled Sales**: Returns closed transactions only- **Pagination**: `pageSize` max of 1000. Uses HATEOAS `_links` with `self` and `nextPage` URLs- **Daily endpoints** (`getDailyFinancials`): No pagination, no hard cap on results. May have slower response times for larger data sets- **Backoffice transactions**: Historical dating supported. Transactions will be dated to a past date if the action impacts past reports. Can query transactions by original business date- **Backoffice modifications** (payment method change and canceling): Modifications appear on the original transaction date

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Lightspeed Financial API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
