I am currently working on this small-scale finance tool that automates invoice tracking for a student-led startup (yes, we somehow managed to make an actual mess of Google Sheets and needed a real solution lol). I decided to give Regate a try after hearing good things from a classmate who interned at an accounting firm. The UI is clean, but honestly, it’s the API that caught my attention mostly because I’d rather script stuff than manually upload CSVs every week.

Anyway, I am running into a couple of roadblocks trying to do bulk invoice imports through the API. I can post a single invoice just fine, that part works. But when I try to loop through a batch of them (I’ve got like 40 test invoices from the past month), it gets weird. Some go through, others fail with a vague error like “invalid request format” even though I literally copied the same object format. It’s driving me a bit nuts.

I checked the docs honestly pretty solid overall but it’s not super clear on whether there’s a recommended way to handle batching. Should I be rate-limiting my requests? Or is there actually a batch endpoint I missed somehow? Would love to hear how others are doing this, especially if you’re pulling from external systems like QuickBooks or something similar.

Also, totally unrelated but I was procrastinating this whole setup last week while trying to finish a report for one of my HR modules. Ended up googling CIPD assignment help just to survive that one. So if you’re also a student balancing dev work and trying to write coherent academic papers at 2AM… I see you.

Back to the main thing if anyone has sample code or a basic working flow for bulk uploads (in Python or even just a Postman collection), please send it my way. Would seriously appreciate it. I’d rather not babysit the API one invoice at a time.

Thanks in advance!
