  title: Tyms Developer API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    REST API for Tyms — the AI-Native Accounting Platform for small and
    medium-sized businesses across service, consulting, retail, and
    manufacturing. Paths are appended to the server URL.


    **Business key** (`tyms_sk_...`): all routes except partner distributor
    routes and OAuth authorization steps that document their own auth. **Partner
    key** (`adam_partner_sk_...` or equivalent): `POST /register-business`, `GET
    /referred-businesses`, billing status, and seat/credit grants on referred
    businesses. **OAuth**: integration apps use `tyms_pk_...` / `tyms_sk_...`
    plus user Bearer tokens — see the OAuth guide.


    Financial reports match what you see in the Tyms app. AI create endpoints
    accept optional attachment objects (`name`, `file`, `type`) — see the
    Attachments page in this docs site.
