# List invoice events

> Lists one invoice’s history, newest first: created, updated, finalized, emailed, viewed, downloaded, paid, voided. `invoice.viewed` and `invoice.downloaded` mean the customer opened the public link; each is recorded at most once per invoice every 10 minutes.

**Scope:** `invoices:read`

  title: Invoice-AI API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Stripe-shaped invoicing over HTTP: customers, products, prices, invoices and
    invoice items, with `cus_…`, `prod_…`, `price_…`, `in_…` and `ii_…` ids.


    - **Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer inv_live_…`, with per-key scopes.

    - **Envelope:** JSON bodies; responses wrap the resource in `{ "data": … }`;
    lists add `next_cursor`.

    - **Money:** integer minor units of the currency everywhere (`250000` is
    $2,500.00; ¥5,000 is `5000`).

    - **Errors:** RFC 9457 `application/problem+json` — branch on `code`.

    - **Idempotency:** operations that spend an invoice number, email or record
    payment require an `Idempotency-Key`.

    - **Rate limits:** 120 requests/minute per key. Sending email: 10/hour per
    key and 50/hour per account. See the `RateLimit-*` headers.

      The people and companies you bill. Every invoice references a customer by
      `cus_…` id. Customers are archived rather than deleted, so issued invoices
      keep naming who they were billed to.

    description: >-
      The things you sell. A product carries a name and description; amounts
      live on its prices. Archiving sets `active: false` and keeps history
      intact.
  - name: Prices
    x-displayName: Prices
    description: >-
      Ways to charge for a product: an amount in integer minor units and a
      currency, one-time or recurring. Bill a price on an invoice line with
      `price: "price_…"`.

    x-displayName: Invoices
    description: >-
      Invoices move `draft` → `open` (finalize assigns a permanent, consecutive
      number) → `paid`, or `open` → `void`. Drafts are freely editable and
      deletable; finalized invoices are frozen. `overdue` is an open invoice
      past its due date, derived at read time. Operations that spend a number,
      send email or record payment require an `Idempotency-Key`.
  - name: Invoice items
    x-displayName: Invoice items
    description: >-
      Individual lines of an invoice. Add or remove lines on a draft one at a
      time; totals are recomputed server-side and the whole invoice is returned.
  - name: Webhook endpoints
    x-displayName: Webhook endpoints
    description: >-
      Register https endpoints to receive invoice events (`invoice.created`,
      `invoice.finalized`, `invoice.paid`, …). Deliveries are signed per
      [Standard Webhooks](https://www.standardwebhooks.com/) with `webhook-id`,
      `webhook-timestamp` and `webhook-signature` headers (HMAC-SHA256 over
      `{id}.{timestamp}.{body}`); failed deliveries are retried with backoff.

        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 details

        - `clients:read` — List and read your clients

        - `clients:write` — Create, update and archive clients

        - `products:read` — List and read products and prices

        - `products:write` — Create, update and archive products and prices

        - `invoices:read` — List and read invoices, including PDFs

        - `invoices:write` — Create, edit and delete drafts

        - `invoices:finalize` — Finalize invoices and void them

        - `invoices:send` — Email invoices to your clients

        - `payments:write` — Mark invoices as paid

        - `webhooks:manage` — Manage webhook endpoints


        Keys cannot be created or revoked through the API, so a leaked key
        cannot mint more keys.
