description: >-
Endpoints for executing pre-built queries against QuickBooks data. These
endpoints simplify common data retrieval operations by providing a
higher-level interface than the raw queued requests API. Each query is
executed asynchronously and returns a queued request ID that can be used
to check the status and retrieve results.
