# List Klara master chart-of-account rows.

`GET /core/latest/accounting/accounts`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.klara.ch`
- URL: `https://api.klara.ch/core/latest/accounting/accounts`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-KEY`
  - HTTP bearer

> **Deprecated.**

This operation remains available until <b>2027-08-14</b> and is removed after that date. Use <code>GET /core/v1/accounting/accounts</code> instead.<br/><br/>Returns the canonical debit/credit accounts maintained by Klara as the seed of any company's bookkeeping. The data is global — the same chart of accounts is returned for every tenant, so there are no tenant or company path parameters. When the optional <code>legal-form</code> query parameter is supplied, only accounts that carry a translation for that legal form are returned, and the <code>name</code> field is resolved from the legal-form-specific translation column. The <code>Accept-Language</code> header selects which translation is used; if absent or unsupported the platform default applies. The endpoint is a pure read — idempotent, no side effects. Any authenticated bearer token is accepted; the downstream service declares no role or permission requirement on this endpoint.

## Query parameters

- `legal-form` 'LIMITED_LIABILITY' | 'CORPORATION' | 'OR' | 'INDIVIDUALLY_OWNED_COMPANY' | 'ASSOCIATION' | 'SIMPLE_PARTNERSHIP' | 'GENERAL_PARTNERSHIP' | 'LIMITED_PARTNERSHIP' | 'COOPERATIVE_COMPANY' | 'FOUNDATION'
