FreeAgent API for AI Agents—Integration Guide | Swytchcode
FreeAgent API for AI Agents
Easy-to-use cloud accounting software made specifically for small businesses, freelancers and their accountants. Call the FreeAgent API from the agent stack you already run. Swytchcode supplies the manifest, then handles authentication, retries, idempotency, and validation on every call.

Use cases
What can you build with the FreeAgent API?
- Call FreeAgent directly from an AI agent without writing custom auth, retry, or error-handling code.
- Get the right endpoints and call sequence for the workflow you need, instead of having the agent explore the FreeAgent API surface.
- Chain FreeAgent with other approved integrations in one workflow, each step validated against your policy before it runs.
- Give an agent safe read/write access to FreeAgent in production, with idempotent retries if a call fails.
