API response format

All BILL API responses follow a set of rules.

Sample response: Sign in to your sandbox developer account

When you sign in with the Login API, your API session is created in response and a sessionId is generated. Use the sessionId value in all subsequent calls to confirm that you are in a signed in session.

{
   "response_status" : 0,
   "response_message" : "Success",
   "response_data" : {
      "sessionId" : "{session_id}",
      "orgId" : "{organization_id}",
      "apiEndPoint" : "https://api-sandbox.bill.com/api/v2",
      "usersId" : "{user_ID}"
   }
}
