# API Import

Use Asset’s [Create Transactions](/api-reference/transaction/create-transactions) endpoint to quickly add one or more new [Transactions](/getstarted/CoreConcepts#transactions) for a [Business](/getstarted/CoreConcepts#businesses-your-smb-customers). This is especially useful when you need to capture Transactions that aren’t automatically retrieved via [Plaid](/importingdata/plaid), ensuring a complete record of money flowing in and out of accounts on a daily basis.

**How to Import Transactions**

**Call the [Create Transactions](/api-reference/transaction/create-transactions) Endpoint:** Make a POST request to the Create Transactions endpoint, including an array of Transaction objects and the Business ID. Each Transaction object should have:

* Description
* Transaction datetime (UTC ISO-8601)
* Amount
* transaction\_id
* linked\_account\_id
* Metadata (optional)

**Automatic Journal Entries and [Categorization](/bookkeeping/categorization)**\
After submission, Asset automatically:

1. Converts each Transaction into a [Journal Entry](/getstarted/CoreConcepts#journal-entry).
2. Passes the Journal Entry through our Categorization Pipeline.
