## Filters

#### `status`
External transfers can be filtered by status. The `status` query parameter accepts an array of statuses as value. The possible values are: `pending`, `processing`, `canceled`, `declined` and `settled`.

For example, if you want to retrieve several External Transfers statuses, you can use the following filter: `status[]=processing&status[]=declined&status[]=settled`

#### `beneficiary_ids`
Allows filtering on a list of beneficiary IDs


#### `updated_at` / `scheduled_date`
External transfers can be filtered according to both `updated_at` and `scheduled_date` fields.
This is particularly useful to retrieve only the latest external transfers in your application.
Two filters are available :

- **updated_at**
  - `updated_at_from`: Minimum value (e.g: `2019-01-10T11:47:53.123Z`)
  - `updated_at_to`: Maximum value
- **scheduled_date**
  - `scheduled_date_from`: Minimum value
  - `scheduled_date_to`: Maximum value

**Do note**:

- *You can use one or the other `updated_at` filter (same for `scheduled_date`), or use them in combination if you want external transfers updated within a specific timeframe.*
- *`updated_at` / `scheduled_date` filters should have a valid date time format (**ISO 8601** for instance)*

## Sorting

External transfers can be sorted by a specific field and order. The `sort_by` query parameter accepts a string defining these two items with the `field:order` format.

#### Field

- `scheduled_date` and `updated_at` values are available.

#### Order

- Two values are available : `asc` (Ascending) / `desc` (Descending)
- By default the order used to sort external transfers is `desc`

**Do note**: You can use a combination of field and order to define how to sort external transfers:
- Only field (e.g `updated_at`, order will have default value `desc`)
- Only order (e.g `:asc`, field will have default value `updated_at`)
- Both (e.g `updated_at:asc`)


List external transfers

OAuth scope: `payment.write`

Automated creation of a standard external transfer with no user interaction involved once the beneficiary is trusted.

> **Only standard transfers** are supported by this endpoint for now 👉 instant transfers are **not** supported by this endpoint.

---
This endpoint allows you to execute transfers for a given beneficiary. The beneficiary must be trusted for the transfer to be created. The beneficiary can **only** be trusted through the [Qonto web-app](https://app.qonto.com/) (for more details, please refer to [this article](https://support-fr.qonto.com/hc/en-us/articles/23947644174993-How-can-I-mark-a-payee-as-trustworthy#h_925061f25d)).

The API supports idempotency for safely retrying requests without accidentally performing the same operation twice. The idempotency key must be a unique string. We recommend using a UUID.

## Request parameter details

#### `X-Qonto-Idempotency-Key` header

This is a unique string (we advise to use a `uuid`) that identifies a transfer. This is used by Qonto to prevent "double spending" by accidentaly replaying the same API call.

##### Amount and Currency
* The `amount` corresponds to the amount of the transaction in the `currency` of the bank account. Amounts must be https://www.w3.org/TR/payment-request/#dfn-valid-decimal-monetary-value
* The `currency` should be EUR.

##### Reference
* Transfer reference that can be used to enter transfer details to further describe the transfer
* Maximum `reference` length is `99` characters

##### Debit iban
* `debit_iban`: IBAN of account to debit

##### Attachments
You can link up to 5 attachments per transfer by passing the `attachment_ids` parameter. You can upload your attachments using our [POST /v2/attachments](https://qonto-next.stoplight.io/docs/business-api/branches/create-attachments/b3A6MzU2NjMxMzU-upload-attachment) endpoint. **Note: For SEPA transfers above 30,000 EUR at least one attachment is required**

**Solo basic plans**

- Create a single standard external transfer with creditor data.
- **Solo basic** plans are not allowed to do bulk transfers. If a bulk transfer is attempted, it will fail and an error will be returned.

**Rest of plans**

Create a maximum of 400 standard external transfers with creditor data.
This API requires user interaction both for creation and approval of the external transfers. If you are interested in machine-to-machine communication without **Strong Customer Authentication**, check our [external transfer with trusted beneficiaries](https://api-doc.qonto.com/docs/business-api/47280509cae8c-create-an-external-transfer) endpoint.

> **Only standard transfers** are supported by this endpoint for now 👉 instant transfers are **not** supported by this endpoint.

The API supports idempotency for safely retrying requests without accidentally performing the same operation twice. The idempotency key must be a unique string. We recommend using a UUID.

When there is a `422` error, the easiest way to identify the invalid external transfer in the list, look at the `errors[x].source.pointer`. The structure of the pointer will be the root key which will always be `external_transfers`, followed by the index of the ID in the list. For example, `/external_transfers/1/amount` indicates that the second entry in the external transfers array is unprocessable due to its amount.

## Max number of transfers : 400

## Attributes details

##### Initiator ID
ID of the membership that initiated the external transfer.
<br/>When the external transfer is initiated through the API, the initiator is the authenticated membership.

#### Timestamps

Each external transfer contains three timestamps:

* `created_at`, UTC, the time at which the external transfer was first recorded.
* `processed_at`, UTC, when the external transfer has been started to be processed by Qonto.
* `completed_at`, UTC, when the external transfer is in its final state, either settled or declined.
* `scheduled_date`, YYYY-MM-DD, indicates when the external transfer was scheduled to be sent by Qonto.

##### Status
`status` can contain the following values

* `pending`: External transfer is created and has not been processed yet. If transfer is not processed within next minute, it means either execution date may not been reached yet or we are running some compliance checks on this transfer.
* `processing`: External transfer processing means account balance is debited and a transaction has been created. Processing status can last up to multiple hours until transfer is sent in the network to the beneficiary.
* `canceled`: When the external transfer is canceled by a user in the interface. This is a permanent status.

This is a permanent status.
* `settled`: When the external transfer is sent to the network, transfer is settled. This is a permanent status.

## Request parameter details

##### Idempotency_key

This is a unique string (we advise to use a `uuid`) that identifies a transfer. This is used by Qonto to prevent "double spending" by accidentaly replaying the same API call.

The `idempotency_key` must be the same for all the call sequence used during the SCA flow :

- For each transfer, The `idempotency_key` is first set on the initial call, which will trigger the SCA flow.
- The **same** `idempotency_key` **must** be used on the final call that includes the SCA token.

This is so because the two calls are actually related to the **same transfer**.

##### Amount and Currency
* The `amount` corresponds to the amount of the transaction in the `currency` of the bank account. Amounts must be https://www.w3.org/TR/payment-request/#dfn-valid-decimal-monetary-value
* The `currency` should be EUR.

##### Reference

- **to_pay**: Deprecated: This status will no longer be assigned to **new** supplier-invoices. Any invoices already in the `to_pay` status can be marked as paid or be scheduled for transfer.
- **pending**: The invoice is waiting for approval or declining by one of the authorized members (only accessible by organizations in a Business or Enterprise plan).
- **scheduled**: The invoice is scheduled to be paid. This status is managed by Qonto as it tracks the updates of the transfer.
- **paid**: The invoice is paid.

### Filters
#### `status`
Supplier invoices can be filter by available status.

### `created_at_from` and `created_at_to`
Supplier invoices can be filtered by created date time interval using `created_at_from` and `created_at_to` where:
- created_at_from represents the min date.
- created_at_to represents the max date.

Note that if the created_at_from and created_at_to are not specified in the query parameters, the response will contain all the invoices of that particular organization.

### Sorting
Supplier invoices can be sorted by a specific field and order. The `sort_by` query parameter accepts a string defining these two items with the field:order format.

#### Field
`created_at`, `file_name`, `supplier_name`, `payment_date`, `due_date`, `scheduled_date` and `total_amount` values are available.
By default the field used to sort invoices is `created_at:desc` for the `To Review` section and `payment_date:asc` for the `To Pay` and `Processed` `payment_date:desc`

#### Order
Two values are available : asc (Ascending) / desc (Descending)
By default the order used to sort supplier invoices is `desc`

### Pagination
Default number of items per page is 1, max items per page is 100. Pagination data is returned in the response : [See Schema here](https://api-doc.qonto.com/docs/business-api/c2NoOjI3NTA2MjA3-pagination).
