Steps
Authenticate with the existing Hostaway client-credentials token.
List expenses with the expenses list endpoint, paginating with a limit (max 500) and offset, or exporting as CSV with a format parameter.
Create an expense with a POST call, supplying a listing or reservation id, expense date, concept, and amount.
Create expense categories inline via a category-names field when no matching category id exists yet, since there is no standalone category-management endpoint.
Update or delete expenses as records are corrected.
Known gotchas
The expense type (extra vs. expense) is derived automatically from the sign of the amount - do not send it directly on create or update.
There is no standalone endpoint to list or manage expense categories independently; categories are created inline through the expense's category-names field.
Expenses can be linked to one or more owner statements - confirm how that linkage behaves against an already-published statement before editing.
