List Nominal Codes (Dropdown)
GET/api/nominal-codes/list
Returns a lightweight list of all nominal codes (id, code, name, type), ordered by code. Intended for dropdown/combo-box lookups.
This endpoint currently requires session authentication; Personal Access Token scope support is in progress.
Every nominal code record is returned independently — no deduplication. Integration re-syncs (e.g. QuickBooks Online) can legitimately create multiple rows sharing the same code + name; each appears as its own entry with its own id.
Pass used_by_transactions=1 to restrict the list to nominal codes referenced by at least one accounting transaction line — used by the Accounting Transactions filter dropdown so unused codes don't appear as dead filter options.
Archived nominal codes are excluded automatically.
The type field is the account type (Revenue, Expense, Asset, Liability, Equity, Bank, Current) and can be used for client-side filtering (e.g. asset-only dropdowns).
Authentication: Requires Bearer token.

Response Headers
Unauthenticated — the bearer token is missing, revoked, expired, or malformed. Never retry automatically; fix the credential. See the Errors guide.
Forbidden — the token lacks a required scope, the endpoint is not available to API tokens, or the user behind the token lacks the permission. A human must adjust the token scopes or user permissions; do not retry.
Rate limited — platform limit is 1,000 requests/min; individual tokens may carry lower limits. Honor the Retry-After header before retrying. See the Rate Limits guide.
