Using external billing system with monetization.

[#1]

Hi, as a proof of concept theory.

The customer needs to integrate monetization reports (Invoices) with their existing invoicing system.

How can we generate invoices in a machine readable format and send them (via api-call) to their existing billing system?
I've tried pouring over the documentation but can't find any mention of external integration of billing.
Thanks!

Hi Mikael,

Monetization reports provides an api to pull developer specific usages for a given date range, This api can be used to generate usage and feed it to customer's invoicing system.

http://docs.apigee.com/monetization/content/create-reports#revreport

Report data can be fed to external invoicing system, Currently this api provides the csv response. It has to be parse outside the monetization system. There is also billing doc in monetization but that provides the response in html format and not suitable for direct integration with external system - for reference billing docs

You can use http://docs.apigee.com/monetization/content/create-reports#genreportapi that gives CSV file.
