Setup
Getting a token
- Sign in to Pennylane and open Paramètres → Intégrations → API (Settings → Integrations → API).
- Create a personal access token and put it in
PENNYLANE_API_TOKEN. The token is scoped to one company (entreprise); an accountant handling several clients needs one connector per client.
This adapter targets API v2 at https://app.pennylane.com/api/external/v2. Pennylane's v1 is still served but is being wound down, and its pagination and field names differ — if you find a v1 example online, it will not work here.
