## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `Api-Version` | header | `"v1"` | yes | The API version this request targets, named by its public identifier. Required on every request; omitting it, or naming a version this company does not have, is answered with 400. This document describes version `v1`. |

## Response

`200` Success

Under `data` (getChartOfAccountsOutput):

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | yes | The unique identifier for the chart of accounts. |
| `name` | string | yes | The display name of the chart of accounts. |
| `accountNumbering` | string | yes | How account numbers are assigned within this chart of accounts. Possible values: 'hierarchical' (numbers follow the account's position in the hierarchy), 'manual' (numbers are assigned by hand). |
| `accountNumberingDigits` | string | no | The total width of an account number, which caps how deep the hierarchy can go. Possible values: 'sixDigits' (up to 4 levels), 'sevenDigits' (5), 'eightDigits' (6), 'nineDigits' (7), 'tenDigits' (8). Absent when no width was set. A width and the numbering strategy are independent, so check this field directly rather than inferring it from accountNumbering. |
| `description` | string | no | A free-form description of the chart of accounts. Absent when none was set. |
| `lastModifiedDate` | string (date-time) | yes | The date and time the chart-of-accounts record last changed, in UTC. Format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ. |
