APICost type

Get cost types

GET
/public/v1/cost-types

List cost types for the authenticated company. A cost type is a reusable, company-scoped category of cost accounting figure (e.g. freight, labor) with a default per-unit amount and a unit of measure. Cost types are configuration, not transactions — they are the templates you draw from when applying a cost to a plant, a package or batch, an assembly or breakdown output, a purchase item, or a product. Each applied cost snapshots its own amount and quantity at apply time, so a cost type's values here only seed future applications and never restate historical costs.

Results are scoped to your company and ordered oldest-first by creation time. Both active and inactive cost types are returned; soft-deleted ones are excluded. The response is paginated — follow the next_page URL to page through the full set.

Required permission: costs_permissions_manage_cost_types.

Authorization

Bearer
headerAuthorizationBearer <token>

API token generated in Distru (Settings → Distru API). Send it on every request as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN.

Query Parameters

ids[]?array<string>

Restrict the result to specific cost types by ID (the same ID returned as each cost type's id). Repeat the bracketed key once per ID. Unknown IDs simply match nothing; an empty list is treated as no filter. At most 200 IDs may be given.

inserted_datetime?string

Filter to cost types by their creation datetime, given as a comma-separated start,end pair of ISO8601 datetimes (inclusive). Either bound may be omitted for an open-ended range: 2022-07-10T00:00:00Z, matches on or after that instant, ,2022-07-10T00:00:00Z matches on or before it.

updated_datetime?string

Filter to cost types by their last-updated datetime, given as a comma-separated start,end pair of ISO8601 datetimes (inclusive). Either bound may be omitted for an open-ended range.

page?string

Page selector. Page size is fixed by the server; paginate by following the next_page URL in each response rather than building page selectors yourself — it is null on the last page. next_page uses page[after]=<cursor>, an opaque token marking where the next page resumes; pass it back exactly as given, and only to the endpoint that issued it. This is seek-based, so every page stays fast no matter how deep you page.

next_page?string
