--- title: "Get the default series of a company" method: GET path: "/v1/companies/{company_id}/series/defaults" tags: ["CompanySeries"] --- # Get the default series of a company `GET /v1/companies/{company_id}/series/defaults` ## Request - Base URL: `https://app.beel.es/api` - URL: `https://app.beel.es/api/v1/companies/{company_id}/series/defaults` - Auth: HTTP bearer Reports, for each `DocumentType` used by automatic invoicing flows, whether the company (NIF) has a default invoice series and which one: `exists`, plus the `series_id` when there is one. - **No default:** that document type cannot be issued without naming a `series_id` explicitly, and automatic flows skip it with `failure.payment.skip.missing_default_series`. - **Environment:** resolved from the request context; it takes no input. **Closed catalogue.** This collection is fixed and bounded — one entry per `DocumentType`: it carries no `pagination`, it takes no `page`/`limit`, and every response holds the whole set. ## Response `200` Default series status retrieved successfully - object: The envelope every successful JSON response of the BeeL. API is wrapped in. There are no bare resources in v1 and none are planned: the payload always hangs off `data`. - A **single resource** is an object in `data`. - A **collection** hangs off a named key inside `data`, together with its `pagination`, also inside `data` — `data: {invoices: [...], pagination: {...}}`. - A collection carries `pagination` unless its operation declares itself a **closed catalogue**: a fixed, bounded list with nothing to page through. The declaration is explicit in the operation; a missing `pagination` is never something to infer. - `GET /v1/accounts` pages by cursor (`data: {accounts: [...], next_cursor}`). It is a documented variant of pagination, not another envelope. Putting the array straight into `data` with `pagination` as its sibling is the shape a v2 would adopt; v1 is not being flipped to it. - `success` boolean, required - `data` object, required: The payload. An object for a single resource; an object holding the named collection (and its `pagination`) for a listing. Never a bare array at this level in v1. - `defaults` DocumentTypeDefaultStatus[], required - `document_type` 'UNASSIGNED' | 'STANDARD' | 'SIMPLIFIED' | 'CORRECTIVE' | 'SIMPLIFIED_CORRECTIVE' | 'PROFORMA', required: Document type associated with a series. Values mirror `InvoiceType`, so the series a document needs is named exactly like the document: - UNASSIGNED: Legacy value of series created before types existed. A series numbers only documents of its own type, so an `UNASSIGNED` series numbers none (`422 SERIES_INCOMPATIBLE_DOC_TYPE`); give it a type to keep using it. No series can be created with it or moved to it (`422 SERIES_UNASSIGNED_TYPE_NOT_ALLOWED`). The live ones were given the type they numbered most. - STANDARD: Standard invoice - SIMPLIFIED: Simplified invoice - CORRECTIVE: Corrects or cancels a previous standard invoice (R1–R4) - SIMPLIFIED_CORRECTIVE: Corrects a simplified invoice (R5). Spanish law requires R5 to be numbered apart from R1–R4, so they have a series type of their own - PROFORMA: Proforma (commercial document, non-fiscal numbering) - `exists` boolean, required: Whether the user has a default series for this document type. - `series_id` string, uuid, nullable: ID of the configured default series (only when exists=true). - `code` string, nullable: Code of the configured default series (only when exists=true). - `provisional` boolean: Whether the default series is still **provisional**: it exists but has not issued any invoice yet, so its numbering (`initial_number`) can still be changed. The invoice creation screen uses this to warn that numbering will start at 1 before it is too late — once the first invoice is issued the numbering is frozen and `initial_number` can no longer be updated. Always `false` when `exists` is `false`. - `meta` ResponseMeta - `timestamp` string, date-time - `request_id` string ## Other responses - `400`: The request target could not be read as declared, so nothing was looked up. Three causes, all named in `error.details`: a path or query parameter whose value does not parse as its type (`VALIDATION_ERROR` — a UUID that is not a UUID, an unknown enum value, an empty element in a list such as `status=ISSUED,`), a required parameter that was not sent (`MISSING_PARAMETER`), or a header that is meant to carry an identifier and does not (`ACTIVE_COMPANY_HEADER_INVALID`). A list parameter sent entirely empty (`status=`) is not an error: it is the same as omitting it. The fault is in the target, not in the content — which is what `422` is defined over. - `401`: Missing or invalid authentication. Like every other error, `message`/`detail` is localized according to `Accept-Language` (`es`, `en`, `ca`); defaults to English when the header is missing or asks for none of those. - `403`: Your account does not own or manage this company, or does not hold the required access over it. A NIF that does not exist answers the same way. That case answers `error.code` `ACTIVE_COMPANY_NOT_ACCESSIBLE`. - `429`: Rate limit exceeded. `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` when the request rate of your credential is over its limit; `TOO_MANY_REQUESTS` when an email the operation sends is held back because too many went out to that recipient in a short time. Either way, retry after the `Retry-After` seconds. `QUOTA_EXCEEDED` is the other `429`: the operation would go over a quota of your plan for the current period (issued invoices, for instance). Retrying does not help until the quota resets or the plan changes. `error.details` carries `feature_code`, `current_usage`, `quota_limit` and `reset_date`, and `RateLimit-Reset` the seconds until the reset when it is known. - `500`: Internal server error - `default`: Any status code the operation does not list above. Every operation declares it, so a generated client always has a branch to fall into and never loses the cause of a failure it did not anticipate. This is where the transport-level answers land — `405`, `406`, `415` and `429` — together with any status a future version of the API starts returning. All of them carry the same error envelope as the codes listed explicitly, so `error.code` is what tells them apart: switching on the status code alone is not enough. See «Transport-level errors» in the API description for when each one is produced. A `402` carrying `SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED` lands here when the account has no active subscription. `error.details` says why and what to do: `current_status` (absent if it never had one), `required_permission` and `action`. A `503` carrying `SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE` lands here too, with a `Retry-After` header: a dependency of BeeL itself (the database, the email provider) was momentarily unavailable and nothing was done. Retry after those seconds. A `502` carrying `EXTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR` also lands here: an outbound integration the operation depends on failed or did not answer in time. It is a transient condition — retry with the same `Idempotency-Key` where the operation accepts one. One exception to the envelope: a failure of the network edge that never reaches the application (`502`, `503`, `504`, `524`) is generated by Cloudflare and its body is not BeeL's — it may not even be JSON. Treat those as "no answer", and retry. --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/beel/apis/beel-public-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/beel/apis/beel-public-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/beel/apis/beel-public-api/revisions/ffbc0ae31f79?raw)
