Dext API
Dext has two real APIs, both gated. The Data Health and Insights API is a documented, read-only practice metrics surface with per-user bearer tokens and a 60 requests/minute limit. The OCR ingest API is sales qualified: docs, auth details, and pricing sit behind partner contact.
Frequently asked questions
Dext scores D+ on the API Report Card. Dext has two real APIs, both gated. The Data Health and Insights API is a documented, read-only practice metrics surface with per-user bearer tokens and a 60 requests/minute limit. The OCR ingest API is sales qualified: docs, auth details, and pricing sit behind partner contact.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Dext is a cloud bookkeeping-automation platform that captures receipts, supplier invoices, customer invoices, bank statements, expense reports, and e-commerce sales documents from multiple ingest channels (mobile photo, mobile app scan, email-to-inbox at a unique address, drag-and-drop web upload, bank feed, direct integration with e-commerce platforms), uses machine-learning OCR to extract header-level and line-item data with a marketed 99.9% accuracy claim, applies supplier rules and categorization (chart-of-accounts code, tax/VAT code, tracking categories, payment method), and then publishes structured transactions plus the source PDF to 30+ downstream accounting systems (Xero, QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Sage Business Cloud Accounting, Sage 50, Sage Intacct, Zoho Books, and others) while archiving the source document in Dext Vault with 10-year encrypted cloud retention.
Vertical: Financial Services, specifically the Accounting/Tax/Audit document-capture and AP-automation sub-segment (Sanity primary: Accounting/Tax/Audit; strong secondary: Document Management Systems and Travel & Expense). SMB owner snaps a photo of a receipt in the Dext mobile app; Dext OCRs supplier, total, tax, currency, date, payment method, and (on higher tiers) line items.
High in its target ICP.
Source documents: receipts, supplier invoices, customer invoices, bank statements, purchase orders, delivery notes, credit notes, expense reports, mileage logs (PDF, JPG, PNG, HEIC, mobile photo, email attachment).

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Dext API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Dext data. See the Dext integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/dext-api.
