Document Templates

Read the PDF design templates a document renders with over the LedgerBee public API (base URL https://api.ledgerbee.com/api/v1). A template's id can be passed as documentTemplateId when creating or sending an invoice, quote, or order confirmation to pick a specific design. Authenticate with the x-api-key header.

Templates are configured in the LedgerBee app; the public API exposes them read-only so a partner can discover an id to reference. There is one scope:

• document-templates-read — list templates.

The public API exposes templates for the four partner document types only: invoice-template, credit-note-template, quote-template, and order-confirmation-template. Choosing a template is optional; a document with no documentTemplateId renders with the customer's or company's default design.

Operations

The list is paginated (page, limit), filterable by documentType and search, and sortable by name, documentType, or createdAt. A type's default template is the one flagged isDefault: true, not the first item in the list; list position follows the requested sort, so rely on the isDefault flag. See the list operation.

Code
curl 'https://api.ledgerbee.com/api/v1/document-templates?documentType=invoice-template' \
  -H 'x-api-key: <your-key>'

Pass a returned id as documentTemplateId on a document create or send to render it with that template:

Code
curl -X POST 'https://api.ledgerbee.com/api/v1/quotes' \
  -H 'x-api-key: <your-key>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "customerId": "0197a943-2325-7829-b835-b6c71a293065",
    "date": "2026-01-15",
    "documentTemplateId": "0197a943-2325-7829-b835-b6c71a293040",
    "lines": [
      { "priceId": "0197a943-2325-7829-b835-b6c71a293099", "quantity": 1 }
    ]
  }'
