Fetch billable sales items

1. Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.

   The following variables should be available now:

   >>> base_url  # the base URL of the API
   '<the Acronis data center URL>/api/advanced-automation/v1'
   >>> auth  # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token
   {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'}
   >>> tenant_id # the ID of the partner tenant that can be accessed with the token
   'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
   

2. Fetch a billing entity that will be issuing the invoice by following the Fetch information about billing entities procedure.

   As a result, you should have a billing entity ID that you will use in the following steps:

   >>> billing_entity_id
   'c4666cb7-ca5f-401d-8ebc-bf58a142b9f1'
   

3. Define a variable named params, and then assign an object with the parameters for the request to this variable:

   >>> params = {
   ...     "billingEntity": billing_entity_id,
   ...     "invoiceDate": "2024-09-26T14:02:31.917Z" # filters sales items that are past the specified invoice date
   ... }
   

4. Send a GET request to the /Billing endpoint:

   >>> response = requests.get(f'{base_url}/Billing', headers=auth, params=params)
   

5. Check the status code of the response:

   >>> response.status_code
   200
   

   Status code 200 means that the request was successful.

   Also, the response body contains the list of billable sales items formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look as follows:

   >>> pprint.pprint(response.json())
   {
       "SalesItems": [
           {
               "Id": "c3e238b0-dd86-4cef-9d88-17b0570f51e7",

               "Ledger": "402"
           },

               "Ledger": "402"
           },

           }
       ],

       "NonIncassoContractTerms": []
   }
