QuickBooks Online APIs & oauth

Question

Hey all, I'm in the very beginning stages of setting up a couple of API calls (send via "make request" step in pipelines) to QuickBooks Online. I have searched for an example of a successful implementation somewhere in the forums but can't find one. The article on Base-Books pipelines makes a reference at the very end to more information regarding using API calls to add sub-customers and rates, but I haven't been able to find it.&nbsp;

I've got all the QBO-side API documentation, but I'm a bit stuck and would just love to look through an actual functional API call.&nbsp;

Does anyone have a good example they'd be willing to share with me, or know of an app with an example in the exchange maybe?&nbsp;

Thank you!&nbsp;

Elena Im trying to figure out the Oauth setting too on the POST request.&nbsp;Username is Client IDPassword is Client SecretToken URL is https://oauth.platform.intuit.com/oauth2/v1/tokens/bearerOauth credential placement is bodyURL is https://sandbox-quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/&lt;company_id_here&gt;/estimate?minorversion=1 (make sure you put your company ID in that URL)But where do we set State and Scope?here is a picture of how I got the OAuth working in Postman, I'm just having a hard time translating it to the Quickbase Post Request

Thank you Jamelle!&nbsp;

For scope and state, is there a way to set them in the actual request body in the pipeline? I've been referencing the QBO API explorer, I wonder if they specify.&nbsp;

Here's my very basic question - where are you actually going to get your client id and client secret?&nbsp;

Elena, you get the client ID and secret by logging into the Quickbooks developer portal and creating a test application it's normally herehttps://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/myappsThey when you go there to the development Application, it's under Keys and Credentials. I also remembered to get it to work with Postman I needed a redirect URL to postman, but I think that's just to get the auth token to use in the post request. So hopefully after a Request, we can use the JSONP Response to parse out the Auth Token that is generated to then use in another request later. But right now I am stumped on where I would put State and Scope, because I just don't know.

Ah! I didn't realize I could make it work with a sandbox application, I assumed I'd have to go through the full publication process. Thank you! I'll give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes and if I find anything out about state &amp; scope.&nbsp;------------------------------Elena Larrabee------------------------------
