DigitalOcean Billing, Structured Down to the Droplet.
Connect a read-only API token and Inbox Ledger pulls every billing invoice from the DigitalOcean API — current and historical. AI extraction breaks each invoice into resource-level line items: Droplets, Kubernetes clusters, Managed Databases, Spaces, and bandwidth charges, ready for your accounting workflow.
Key DigitalOcean Invoice Downloader Capabilities
Built-in functionality that eliminates repetitive document tasks
Billing API Sync Each Cycle
Inbox Ledger connects to the DigitalOcean Billing API and retrieves new invoices as soon as they are generated. No portal login or manual download required.
Resource-Level Cost Breakdown
Every invoice is extracted with per-resource detail: Droplets (type, region, hourly rate), Kubernetes clusters, Managed Databases, Spaces, Load Balancers, and bandwidth usage.
Individual and Team Accounts
A single API token covers both individual and team DigitalOcean accounts. Team billing data is retrieved through one connection without per-member logins.
Bandwidth & Overage Visibility
Network transfer charges, API request fees, and overage costs are extracted alongside standard resource charges — giving you complete cloud spend detail.
Read-Only Token, Encrypted
Your DigitalOcean API token is kept encrypted on our servers. It is never included in API responses or accessible from your browser.
Full History on First Sync
The initial connection downloads every historical invoice available through the API. Subsequent syncs fetch only newly generated billing documents.
Invoice Types Retrieved from DigitalOcean
AI identifies and extracts data from every supported format
Monthly Billing Summaries
Complete monthly invoices covering all DigitalOcean charges for the billing period — compute, storage, networking, and platform services.
Droplet Compute Costs
Per-Droplet breakdown with instance type, region, hourly rate, and total charge for each virtual machine running in your account.
Kubernetes Cluster Charges
Managed Kubernetes costs itemized by cluster, including worker node compute, persistent volume storage, and attached load balancer fees.
Spaces Object Storage & CDN
Storage and CDN bandwidth charges from DigitalOcean Spaces, extracted with data transfer volume and storage consumption per billing period.
Managed Database Costs
Charges for managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and MongoDB instances — including instance size, provisioned storage, and automated backup costs.
Bandwidth & Overage Line Items
Network transfer and bandwidth overage fees itemized by resource, identifying which services generate the highest data transfer costs.
How It Works
From connection to first extracted invoice in under five minutes
Generate a Read-Only API Token
Create a personal access token with read-only scope in the DigitalOcean control panel. This limits Inbox Ledger to billing data retrieval — no write access is granted.
Paste the Token into Inbox Ledger
Enter your token in the DigitalOcean connection form. It is encrypted and kept encrypted immediately — never persisted in plaintext.
Historical and Ongoing Invoices Download
All existing invoices are pulled on first sync. New invoices are fetched automatically each billing cycle, with order-ID deduplication applied.
Extracted Data Flows to Your Stack
AI extracts resource-level cost detail from each invoice. Review in the dashboard, then export to QuickBooks, Xero, Google Sheets, or Drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
You provide a read-only personal access token generated from your DigitalOcean control panel. Inbox Ledger uses the DigitalOcean Billing API to retrieve invoices. The token is kept encrypted and never exposed.
Yes. If your account is a team account, the API token provides access to billing data for the entire team. All invoices are downloaded through the single connection without per-member tokens.
The AI extracts resource-level line items: Droplets, Kubernetes clusters, Managed Databases, Spaces, Load Balancers, bandwidth charges, and overage fees — each with cost, region, and resource identifier.
You can configure daily, weekly, or monthly schedules. Since DigitalOcean generates invoices monthly, a monthly sync is standard. Manual sync is available at any time for immediate retrieval.
Yes. The first sync retrieves your complete invoice history from the DigitalOcean API. Historical invoices go through the same AI extraction pipeline as current ones.
The token is kept encrypted on our servers and never leaves them. It is never returned in API responses or accessible from the browser. You can revoke the token from DigitalOcean at any time.
Each invoice processed through AI extraction consumes one credit. The download step is free. For example, 12 months of history would use 12 credits during the initial import.
