> **This method is not served on the public API.** `api.sylphx.com` does not route this call: its backend is not deployed behind the public API, or does not implement the call. This page documents the contract. It is kept out of the sidebar and of search engines.

The `billing_accounts` commands of Sylphx Billing, as the CLI spells them: the same
calls as [the `billing_accounts` API page](/docs/api/billing_accounts), typed for the
shell. [Install, sign in and the grammar](/docs/cli) are on the CLI index.

**Not available yet.** Sylphx Billing is declared in the registry but no backend serves it: every command answers `501` with the problem code `UNIMPLEMENTED`.

## get

Gets a billing account.

**`NAME`** — the resource's name; a bare id is enough below the linked
project.

**CLI**

```bash
sylphx billing billing-accounts get orgs/acme/billing_accounts/billing-account
```

`GET https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/billing_accounts/billing-account` · scope `billing:read` · effect `read` · [Request, response and examples](/docs/api/billing_accounts/get)

## list

Lists an org's billing accounts: exactly one, `default`.

**`PARENT`** — optional: the CLI fills it from the linked project or the
key's scope when it is left out.

**CLI**

```bash
sylphx billing billing-accounts list orgs/acme
```

`GET https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/billing_accounts` · scope `billing:read` · effect `read` · [Request, response and examples](/docs/api/billing_accounts/list)

**Flags**

| Flag | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--page-size` | `int` | At most this many; default 50, clamped to 1000. |
| `--page-token` | `string` | `next_page_token` of the previous page. |
| `--filter` | `string` | AIP-160 filter over labels and filterable fields. |
| `--order-by` | `string` | AIP-132 ordering over filterable fields. |

## update

Updates a billing account: changes plan, spend limit, or billing email.

**`NAME`** — the resource's name; a bare id is enough below the linked
project.

**CLI**

```bash
sylphx billing billing-accounts update orgs/acme/billing_accounts/billing-account --spec.plan …
```

`PATCH https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/billing_accounts/billing-account` · scope `billing:admin` · effect `write` · [Request, response and examples](/docs/api/billing_accounts/update)

**Flags**

| Flag | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--meta.labels` | `key=value` | Caller-writable, indexed labels (AIP-122 label rules). Repeat the flag for each value. |
| `--meta.annotations` | `key=value` | Caller-writable, unindexed annotations. Repeat the flag for each value. |
| `--meta.display-name` | `string` | Caller-writable human-readable name. |
| `--spec.plan` | `string` | The public plan, for example `plans/pro`. Card accounts activate Pro by payment; approved invoice accounts may select it without a card. Required. |
| `--spec.spend-limit.currency-code` | `string` | ISO 4217 currency, for example `USD`. |
| `--spec.spend-limit.units-minor` | `int` | The amount in the currency's minor unit (cents for USD). |
| `--spec.unlimited-spend` | `bool` | Clears the self spend cap; never lifts a tier or reviewed credit limit. |
| `--spec.billing-email` | `string` | Where invoices and payment notices are sent. |
| `--spec.payment-method` | `string` | Collection choice: `card` (default), or `invoice` with approved net terms. |
| `--spec.invoice-terms-days` | `int` | Net days from finalization, 1..365. Changes require billing:terms:approve and affect only newly finalized invoices, never frozen history. |
| `--spec.invoice-terms-approved` | `bool` | Credit approval is an ordinary account setting, not a company flag. Writing this field requires billing:terms:approve in addition to admin. |
| `--spec.credit-limit.currency-code` | `string` | ISO 4217 currency, for example `USD`. |
| `--spec.credit-limit.units-minor` | `int` | The amount in the currency's minor unit (cents for USD). |
| `--dry-run` | `bool` | Validate and print the result without writing (validate_only). |

## setup-payment-method

Starts saving a payment method for the org: returns a client secret the console confirms with Stripe.js, so card data never reaches Sylphx. The saved method becomes the account's default and is charged off-session for each finalized invoice.

**`NAME`** — the resource's name; a bare id is enough below the linked
project.

**CLI**

```bash
sylphx billing billing-accounts setup-payment-method orgs/acme/billing_accounts/billing-account
```

`POST https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/billing_accounts/billing-account:setupPaymentMethod` · scope `billing:admin` · effect `write` · [Request, response and examples](/docs/api/billing_accounts/setup_payment_method)
