This is the answer to your question provided by the Chat bot Virtual Assistant :
Is there a way to connect an excel to sheet to manager.io i want the excel sheet updates as the system update?
A Short answer: Yes—use Excel’s Power Query to pull data from Manager’s API so your sheet refreshes as your Manager data changes.
What you’ll need
-
An access token from Manager (Settings → Access Tokens). (manager.io)
-
Your API2 endpoint:
-
Cloud/Server: https://your-subdomain.manager.io/api2
-
Desktop: http://127.0.0.1:55667/api2 (while Manager is running). Community examples show both working. (forum.manager.io)
-
-
The route you want (for example: receipts, payments, summary-transactions, balance-sheet-view/{key}, etc.). You can see the available routes by opening your /api2 root (it returns the schema). (forum.manager.io)
Basic setup in Excel (Power Query)
-
Excel → Data → Get Data → From Web.
-
URL: https://your-subdomain.manager.io/api2/receipts?pageSize=1000 (example).
-
In Advanced options, add a request header x-api-key with your access token. Set authentication to Anonymous (headers carry the auth). (forum.manager.io)
-
Click OK, then expand the JSON to tables/columns you need.
-
Set Refresh options (Data → Queries & Connections → Properties) to refresh on file open or on a schedule.
Notes and tips
-
There’s a ready-made Power Query connector shared by community members for Excel/Power BI that simplifies navigating API2 and expanding objects. It’s a good starting point if you’re comfortable with Power Query. (forum.manager.io)
-
To discover available endpoints and field names, navigate to /api2 (JSON schema) or enable the in-app Playground to see context-aware API examples. (forum.manager.io)
-
If you don’t need live connections, you can still copy any list/report to the clipboard or export and paste into Excel—but that’s manual, not auto-updating. (forum.manager.io)
If you tell me which Manager edition you use (Cloud, Server, or Desktop) and which data you want in Excel, I can provide a tailored Power Query snippet for your exact routes.
