Quickstart
This guide walks you through making your first API call — from authentication to creating an invoice.
Prerequisites
- An Storno.ro account (register here)
- At least one company added to your account
- A valid e-invoice provider token (e.g., ANAF for Romania) if you plan to submit electronically
Step 1: Authenticate
curl -X POST https://api.storno.ro/api/auth \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"email": "[email protected]",
"password": "your_password"
}'
Save the token from the response. You'll use it in all subsequent requests.
Step 2: List Your Companies
curl https://api.storno.ro/api/v1/companies \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {token}"
Response:
[
{
"uuid": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"name": "SC Firma Mea SRL",
"cif": "RO12345678",
"syncEnabled": true
}
]
Save the company uuid — you'll use it as the X-Company header.
Step 3: Get Invoice Defaults
Before creating an invoice, fetch the available options (VAT rates, currencies, payment methods, etc.):
curl https://api.storno.ro/api/v1/invoice-defaults \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
-H "X-Company: {company_uuid}"
This returns VAT rates, currencies, units of measure, payment terms, and payment methods configured for your company.
Step 4: Create an Invoice
curl -X POST https://api.storno.ro/api/v1/invoices \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
-H "X-Company: {company_uuid}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"clientId": "{client_uuid}",
"seriesId": "{series_uuid}",
"issueDate": "2026-01-15",
"dueDate": "2026-02-15",
"currency": "RON",
"lines": [
{
"name": "Servicii consultanță IT",
"quantity": 10,
"unitPrice": 500,
"vatRateId": "{vat_rate_uuid}",
"unit": "ore"
}
]
}'
Response:
{
"uuid": "7a1b2c3d-4e5f-6789-abcd-ef0123456789",
"number": "FACT-001",
"status": "draft",
"totalWithoutVat": 5000,
"totalVat": 950,
"totalWithVat": 5950,
"currency": "RON"
}
Step 5: Issue the Invoice
Issuing validates the invoice, generates the XML, and optionally schedules e-invoice submission:
curl -X POST https://api.storno.ro/api/v1/invoices/{uuid}/issue \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
-H "X-Company: {company_uuid}"
Step 6: Check Invoice Status
curl https://api.storno.ro/api/v1/invoices/{uuid} \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
-H "X-Company: {company_uuid}"
The invoice status will progress through: draft → issued → sent → delivered (or error).
