## Description

**As** a advanced user/power user  
**I want to** build custom format time & cost exports including the actual cost of labor

Right now, the hourly rates cannot be accessed through the API and therefore cannot be used in process automation/low-code tools to build custom reports.

Alternative solution: Use the XLS export and reformat that - but that isn't fully automated.

**Acceptance criteria**

  - Every time\_entry has a \_link to the hourly rate

  - the linked hourly rate is the currently active one

**Technical notes**

  - 
    <br>

**Permissions and visibility considerations**

  - Needs to respect the permissions behind the API-Key

  - Maybe needs to respect the project's settings (Time & Costs can be disabled as a module - I don't know if that has any effect regarding the API outputs)

**Translation considerations**

none

**Out of scope**

  - creation of hourly rates

  - view all (historic and future) hourly rates
