FreeAgent provides online administration and accounting software for small businesses. For users with a FreeAgent account, these Schematiq functions provide the ability to retrieve data directly from FreeAgent.

​

Schematiq will allow you to create live data links, custom reports and reconciliations from FreeAgent into Excel.

​

The Schematiq functions listed below largely mirror the functions available through the FreeAgent API (Application Programming Interface), which provides a mechanism for accessing FreeAgent data via a standard web request. Please see the API documentation for full details (click on a link below to be taken straight to the relevant page)

Some of the functions listed above return some columns of their result table as a list of FreeAgent "short IDs" for the retrieved items. A FreeAgent short ID comprises the FreeAgent element name and item ID separated by an underscore, for example 'project_123'. Whenever another Schematiq FreeAgent function takes as a parameter another FreeAgent element, for example for a project or contact, the value for the parameter must be a FreeAgent short ID. This facilitates passing the results of one FreeAgent call as the input values to another, while also ensuring that the IDs remain meaningful and are not confused with numbers.
