}Create a draft invoice
Creates a draft invoice for an existing customer. Each line is either a catalog price (its name, amount and tax rate fill in) or an ad-hoc description + unit_amount. Totals are computed server-side; currency defaults to your business currency.
A draft has no number until you finalize or send it. Emits invoice.created.
Scope: invoices:write + business:read + clients:read
Idempotency: Idempotency-Key required (428 without it). A retry with the same key and body replays the first response (Idempotent-Replayed: true); the same key with a different body is a 422 idempotency_mismatch.

}Authorizations
An Invoice-AI API key sent as Authorization: Bearer inv_live_….
Create keys in Settings → API keys; the secret is shown once. Each key carries scopes, and every operation lists the scope it needs (x-required-scope):
business:read— Read your business profile, tax ID and bank detailsclients:read— List and read your clientsclients:write— Create, update and archive clientsproducts:read— List and read products and pricesproducts:write— Create, update and archive products and pricesinvoices:read— List and read invoices, including PDFsinvoices:write— Create, edit and delete draftsinvoices:finalize— Finalize invoices and void theminvoices:send— Email invoices to your clientspayments:write— Mark invoices as paidwebhooks:manage— Manage webhook endpoints
Keys cannot be created or revoked through the API, so a leaked key cannot mint more keys.
Headers
A unique key per distinct operation (a UUID works), reused only when retrying that same request. Up to 255 characters; stored for 24 hours.
