API gotchas

  • QuickBooks requires a company ID/realmId for each API request. To obtain this when creating a new connection on Nango, go to Settings and select Your Account and Settings. On the Your Account page, your Company ID (found under the Billing & Subscription tab) will be displayed at the top. Nango can automatically retrieve this for you, or you can manually override it by specifying the realmId when creating a new connection.
  • You can use getConnection in your integration scripts to retrieve it, or when you fetch the Connection credentials with the REST API or SDK
  • For sandbox testing, use the quickbooks-sandbox integration in Nango instead of the regular quickbooks integration.
  • QuickBooks access tokens expire after 1 hour, but Nango automatically handles token refresh for you.
