I am looking at ways to make it easier for my client to bill for un-
billed time. This is related to my post:

https://groups.google.com/group/freshbooks-api/browse_thread/thread/97903641f50422c5

In addition to wishing I could create invoices from time entries,
which the FreshBooks API does not provide, it would be nice to be able
to FIND unbilled time a little more easily. As far as I can tell, the
only way to find unbilled time is to iterate over all time entries for
all projects.

Wish#1: project.list could have a filter for finding projects that
have unbilled time

Wish#2: time_entry.list could have a filter for finding unbilled time

Once my program finds the unbilled time (since I cannot create
invoices for time entries from the API) it would be great if:

Wish#3: project.get and project.list returned links that were direct
URLs to the project page, like client.get and invoice.get do.

At least then I could give my client a list of projects with unbilled
time and a quick way to get to each of those projects in the
FreshBooks user interface so that he could create the invoices
manually.

thanks!

Amazing. I really like your suggestions Peter. As I mentioned in my
last message, I cannot make any promises; however, I will share your
suggestions with the team.

Best,
Jamaal

Any progress on getting Peter's suggestion's into the API? I was just perusing the API docs for his Wishes #1 and #2:
 
Wish#1: project.list could have a filter for finding projects that have unbilled time
Wish#2: time_entry.list could have a filter for finding unbilled time

Those would both come in really handy for an app I'm planning!

Thanks,

Michael
