An expense is a type of bill. To list expenses, use List bills with is_expense=true: 
GET /v1/businesses/{business_id}/bills?is_expense=true
Always include is_expense=true when you want only expenses. Without this filter, the response can include both expenses and standard bills. You can combine is_expense=true with the same filters supported by List bills, including status, date range, vendor, amount, and pagination filters. See the Expense object for more on expenses vs. standard bills.
