Authentication (OAuth 2.0)

Sync transactions, bills, and accounting data from Ramp to your accounting platform (QuickBooks, NetSuite, etc.) to maintain accurate financial records and simplify month-end close.API Gotchas
- OAuth scope planning: Ramp has granular OAuth scopes for read and write access to different resource types. Plan your scope requirements carefully before development to avoid needing to re-authorize users.
- Rate limiting: The API enforces rate limits to protect system performance. Implement exponential backoff retry logic when you receive rate limit responses.
- Webhook availability: While the API supports polling, Ramp also offers webhooks for real-time transaction and event notifications. Consider using webhooks for more efficient integrations.
- Business context required: Most API operations require a business context. Ensure you’re properly handling multi-business scenarios if your integration supports users with access to multiple Ramp businesses.
- Receipt matching: Transactions and receipts are separate objects in Ramp. Implement logic to match receipts to transactions based on amount, date, and merchant for complete expense records.
