Set up the QuickBooks Web Connector

The Web Connector should come pre-installed with QuickBooks, and allows QuickBooks to communicate with web applications.

Check the checkbox next to your app in the Web Connector and click “Update Selected”. You should see it authenticate and then finish with “No data exchange required” in green if everything has gone according to plan!

Make a Test Request

From that same connection screen, you can click “Create Test Request” to fire off a Customer Query - click “Update selected” in your Web Connector to expedite the response and check out the results! Create Test Request Pn

…or make a custom request

In the “My Applications” tab, click into the sandbox app. We’ve generated an API key for you - click to copy it, and have it ready to use in your environment (e.g. export QUBE_API_KEY="foo..." )
QuBe Sync gives you the full power of any QBXML request, but also has some prebuilt endpoints for common use cases. Here we’ll ask for a list of customers
export QUBE_API_KEY="..." # get this from My Applications tab
export CONN_ID="..." # get this from the Connections tab

curl https://qubesync.com/api/v1/connections/$CONN_ID/customers?max_returned=10 \
     --user $QUBE_API_KEY:
The response has a link to the request in the UI (data.links.ui ) to watch the request as it’s processed by the web connector. Hit “Update Selected” on the Web Connector and see your customers!
