wefact-python 1.0.1

A Python wrapper for the WeFact API

WeFact Python Wrapper

An unofficial, batteries-included Python client for the WeFact API. Pragmatic, typed where it counts, and intentionally minimal on magic.

What is WeFact? WeFact is a Dutch invoicing and accounting platform. Create invoices and quotes, process supplier invoices, and maintain real-time insight into your administration.

Maintained by zzinnovate. Open source, community-friendly, and actively maintained. Not affiliated with WeFact. For the upstream API, see the official WeFact API documentation.
