Accounting Runs on
Disconnected Systems

At Bluebook, we've spent years building integrations with accounting systems. The work is expensive, slow, and you rebuild every time. That's why we're exploring open-sourcing our integrations. We believe solving this takes a community, not just one team.

Existing unified API providers don't go far enough. Teams still face endless maintenance and a growing backlog of integration requests. We're building something better:

  • Attachments, reporting endpoints, and custom dimensions in a standardized format
  • Agent-native integrations with tool calling, agent skills, and MCP
  • Production-ready performance that handles rate limits and real-world complexity

If you've felt this pain, join us. Let's connect accounting systems together.

The Problem

Integrations are the bottleneck
For agentic accounting

Building and maintaining accounting integrations drains resources and slows down innovation. The current landscape is fragmented, unreliable, and expensive.

Every API is a new nightmare

QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero etc. each requires unique knowledge. Building and maintaining integrations one-by-one is a resource black hole.

Context is the bottleneck

Unified APIs often strip away critical data like attachments and custom fields, leaving your AI agents with only surface-level context.

Vendor Lock-in

Closed platforms limit your flexibility. You're stuck with their roadmap and pricing, and breaking free means rewriting from scratch.

PRODUCT

One API for all your accounting needs

The tools you need to connect your systems and make them work together at scale

Unified API with escape hatches

Start with simplicity, drop down to native APIs when you need full control

Real-time webhooks

Event-driven architecture with a unified taxonomy. Build agents that react, not poll

Query with SQL

Get exactly the data you need. No more learning dozens of REST endpoints

First-class attachments

Download, upload, and leverage files for compliance and source documents, not an afterthought

Open source

Auditable, transparent, and extensible. No vendor lock-in. Build your own integrations

SDK built for agents

Purpose-built for AI agents. Process massive datasets beyond LLM context limits

CODE EXAMPLE

Simple, powerful API

A unified interface for all your accounting integrations. Write once, integrate everywhere.

fetch-bills.ts
// Fetch bills with attachments using unified API
import { Bluebook } from '@bluebook/sdk';

// Connect to QuickBooks (or NetSuite, Xero, etc.)
const bluebook = new Bluebook({
  apiKey: process.env.BLUEBOOK_API_KEY,
  connectionId: 'conn_quickbooks_abc123' // User's connected accounting system
});

// Query bills with attachments
const bills = await bluebook.bills.list({
  status: 'pending',
  includeAttachments: true,
  dateFrom: '2024-01-01',
  dateTo: '2024-12-31'
});

// Download all attachments in parallel
for (const bill of bills) {
  console.log(`Bill: ${bill.vendorName} - ${bill.amount}`);
  
  // Download all attachments for this bill in parallel
  const files = await Promise.all(
    bill.attachments.map(async (attachment) => {
      const file = await bluebook.attachments.download(attachment.id);
      console.log(`Downloaded: ${attachment.filename}`);
      return file;
    })
  );
}

Unified API

One consistent interface across QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, and more.

First-class Attachments

Download and upload files with native support for compliance documents.

Batch Operations

Process multiple transactions efficiently with built-in batch support.
