# BILL v3 API recipes

## What are BILL v3 API recipes?

BILL v3 API recipes enables interactive walkthroughs for different workflows available with the BILL v3 API. These recipes showcase the power of the BILL Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), and Spend & Expense (S\&E) products.

In each recipe, you enter your sandbox account credentials and learn how the output of an API endpoint forms the input of another endpoint. You can use this orchestration and assemble API endpoints in your complete business processes.
