List recurring invoices

List recurring invoice schedules, optionally filtered by lifecycle status, including their next and last invoice dates, automation choices, run count and last failure.

Outcome

List recurring invoice schedules, optionally filtered by lifecycle status, including their next and last invoice dates, automation choices, run count and last failure.

Before you start

Verify the intended environment, authenticated identity and specifically approved organization context.
The published application permission is invoices:read. Discover the exact granted canonical Books workspace and bind it separately from action input.

Discover the target

topolo whoami --json
topolo actions get app_topolo_books.invoices.recurring.list --detail --json
topolo resources topolo-books --json
topolo workspaces list topolo-books --json

Set BOOKS_WORKSPACE_ID to the exact granted workspace returned by discovery.

Request

GET /api/invoices/recurring

Inspect and test this action. Save the reviewed input as payload.json; supply credential/resource context separately.

Input fields

Field	Required	Meaning	Schema and constraints
`status`	Optional	status	{"type":"string","enum":["active","paused","completed","cancelled"]}

Inspect nested fields and the complete input schema.

Effects

Reads recurring invoice schedules without changing them.

Interpret the response

Read $.schedules[].id for the returned recurring_invoice identifier. Empty collections and nullable fields do not discover a target.

No verification is needed for a read.

Inspect the success schema. CLI/MCP add their own transport envelope; CLI --detail requests the full result.

Worked examples

Actual Books route handlers and the exported Worker were exercised against five local SQLite D1 concern databases with all committed migrations, the real posting Durable Object and local R2. Route captures use synthetic verified Auth; Worker captures use synthetic Auth transports. Nexus, Brand, Notify, Pay, Mercury and Xero responses are explicitly simulated at the provider transport boundary. Captures prove local request/response behavior and canonical SDK projection, not live bank access, payment movement, email delivery, provider eligibility, tax compliance, encrypted custody, scheduled execution, deployment or production completion. Fixture identities, credentials, addresses and records authorize no live operation.

Run a reviewed request

Save the input from the selected worked example as payload.json. Validate and inspect the plan before calling the action; refused examples demonstrate errors and are not instructions to execute.

CLI:

topolo actions validate app_topolo_books.invoices.recurring.list --data @payload.json --json
topolo actions plan app_topolo_books.invoices.recurring.list --resource-type workspace --resource-id "$BOOKS_WORKSPACE_ID" --data @payload.json --json
topolo actions call app_topolo_books.invoices.recurring.list --resource-type workspace --resource-id "$BOOKS_WORKSPACE_ID" --data @payload.json --detail --json

Verify the result

No verification is needed for a read.

Errors and recovery

auth_error (HTTP 401): Authenticate in the intended organization again. Verify whoami and the exact Books application/workspace binding before retrying; do not switch identity to work around a refusal.

These are observed local refusals. Shared authentication, schema validation and resource authorization can also refuse before the route. Preserve the actual error, details and request id.

Recovery boundary

Repeat a read in the same authorized context; no state is changed.

Get recurring invoice: Read one recurring invoice schedule, its template id, cadence, end conditions, automation, run history and last failure.
List invoices: List invoices newest first. Filter by status, contact or issue date, search the number, reference and notes, and sort by issue date, due date, number, total or status. The response carries the outstanding total for the filtered set.
