Quickbooks Online Configuration

To configure Quickbooks Online in DataZen, you must first have authorized DataZen to access your Quickbooks Online environment.

HTTP Endpoint

Production Endpoint

The default endpoint provided by DataZen points to your Quickbooks Online API endpoint, where {COMPANY_ID} represents the unique identifier of your company (an integer): 

https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/{COMPANY_ID}
After you replace the parameters, a sample HTTP Endpoint would look like this: 
https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/1234567891234567890

Sandbox Endpoint

You can also choose to configure DataZen to access your sandbox environment. Use the following template for accessing your sandbox: 

https://sandbox-quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/{COMPANY_ID}

Authentication

Quickbooks Online uses Bearer authentication. When creating a new connection, or if you need to obtain a new bearer token, click on Obtain OAuth Token....

Once configured, DataZen will automatically generate new Bearer Tokens using the Refresh Token obtained by the Token service. If the connection is not activelly used for a long period of time, the Refresh Token may expire; if the Refresh Token expires you will need to obtain a new Bearer Token using the OAuth Wizard again.

For more information on how to generate an OAuth token, see the OAuth Wizard documentation.

Rate Limit

Quickbooks Online enforces rate limiting on its service. It is recommended to use the following settings to avoid running into these limits:

Call Rate Limit: 120 calls per minute

DataZen rate limiting applies to each individual connection. When creating multiple connections to the same service, the aggregated values of all the rate limits configured on these connections should remain below the Quickbooks Online rate limit thresholds.
