How can I pull historical invoice or payment information all at once?

While this feature is not something currently avaialable in the Cloud Manager, you can actually export and parse this data using the Linode-CLI.

The link above will walk you through the setup and configuration of the Linode-CLI if you aren’t already using it, but to get started you will wanted to install it using the following:

pip3 install linode-cli —upgrade

You will need to create a Personal Access Token to complete the setup, which can be generated from within your Cloud Manager - here.

To display a list of all invoices on your account, you can run the following command:

linode-cli account invoices-list

This will then generate an output similar to:

┌──────────┬─────────────────────┬───────────────────┬──────────┬─────┬───────┐
│ id       │ date                │ label             │ subtotal │ tax │ total │
├──────────┼─────────────────────┼───────────────────┼──────────┼─────┼───────┤
│ 12345678 │ 2020-09-01T04:16:19 │ Invoice #12345678 │ 20.0      │ 0.0 │ 20.0   │
│ 12345679 │ 2020-10-01T04:36:21 │ Invoice #12345679 │ 20.0      │ 0.0 │ 20.0   │
│ 12345680 │ 2020-11-01T04:14:43 │ Invoice #12345680 │ 20.0      │ 0.0 │ 20.0   │
│ 12345681 │ 2020-12-01T05:24:45 │ Invoice #12345682 │ 40.0      │ 0.0 │ 40.0   │
│ 12345683 │ 2021-01-01T05:19:12 │ Invoice #12345683 │ 40.0      │ 0.0 │ 40.0   │
│ 12345684 │ 2021-02-01T05:18:57 │ Invoice #12345684 │ 40.0      │ 0.0 │ 40.0   │
│ 12345685 │ 2021-03-01T05:16:05 │ Invoice #12345685 │ 40.0      │ 0.0 │ 40.0   │
└──────────┴─────────────────────┴───────────────────┴──────────┴─────┴───────┘

Let’s say you only wanted invoices from the year 2020. You could use grep to filter your results:

linode-cli account invoices-list | grep '2020'

For this example, the above command would produce the following output:

┌──────────┬─────────────────────┬───────────────────┬──────────┬─────┬───────┐
│ id       │ date                │ label             │ subtotal │ tax │ total │
├──────────┼─────────────────────┼───────────────────┼──────────┼─────┼───────┤
│ 12345678 │ 2020-09-01T04:16:19 │ Invoice #12345678 │ 20.0      │ 0.0 │ 20.0   │
│ 12345679 │ 2020-10-01T04:36:21 │ Invoice #12345679 │ 20.0      │ 0.0 │ 20.0   │
│ 12345680 │ 2020-11-01T04:14:43 │ Invoice #12345680 │ 20.0      │ 0.0 │ 20.0   │
│ 12345681 │ 2020-12-01T05:24:45 │ Invoice #12345682 │ 40.0      │ 0.0 │ 40.0   │
└──────────┴─────────────────────┴───────────────────┴──────────┴─────┴───────┘

You could also use other sorting options such as AWK, or even export to specific file formats such as CSV or JSON. A full overview of Linode-CLI and API account commands can be viewed here.

It's ridiculous that there isn't a simple way to download a CSV file with invoice information.
