No public API. Tallie connects only through Emburse-built sync connectors (QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Xero, Bill.com) plus CSV import and export. There is no developer portal, OAuth, webhook product, or sandbox; the parent's Emburse API targets Chrome River and Cards, not Tallie.
Tallie scores D on the API Report Card. No public API. Tallie connects only through Emburse-built sync connectors (QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Xero, Bill.com) plus CSV import and export. There is no developer portal, OAuth, webhook product, or sandbox; the parent's Emburse API targets Chrome River and Cards, not Tallie.
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.
Tallie (now branded 'Emburse Tallie') is a cloud expense-report and corporate-card-reconciliation product for small and lower mid-market businesses.
Vertical: Financial Services (expense management, travel & expense, corporate-card reconciliation). Employee captures a receipt via the Tallie mobile app (photo or library upload), drags-and-drops on desktop, or forwards to receipts@usetallie.com.
Low-to-moderate within US SMB T&E.
Expenses: merchant, date, amount, currency, category, tax, project/customer/job, GL account, class/location, billable flag, receipt image, policy violations, approval state, audit history.
Founded 2009 (as SpringAhead); current Tallie product launched 2012; ~17 years old in 2026. Tallie predates the modern fintech-card cohort (Ramp 2019, Brex 2017, Airbase 2017) and the AI-OCR-native generation (Fyle 2016).
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.
