Get an Invoice

The Get invoice endpoint can be used to retrieve a single invoice object from the Helcim system based on the invoiceId value. The invoiceId is returned in the response from the Create invoice endpoint.

Get Invoice Requests

The Get invoice endpoint takes a single path parameter value of the invoiceId, in order to return the relevant invoice object in the Helcim system.

Using an invoiceNumber to retrieve an invoice
Approved Helcim payment responses will return the invoiceNumber value, rather than an invoiceId. This should be passed as a query parameter to the Get invoices endpoint to retrieve the associated invoice object.

// Example Get invoice request

const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    accept: 'application/json',
    'api-token': 'YOUR_API_TOKEN'
  }
};

fetch('https://api.helcim.com/v2/invoices/39549794', options)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(response => console.log(response))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
