I know QBO doesn't natively support PHP, but If I can get authenticated requests working, I can just use their API directly.
I've got the following pieces of data
appid
oAuth consumer key
oAuth secret key
I'm making an API call to this endpoint
https://qb.sbfinance.intuit.com/v3/company/<<my company id>>/item
I'm using googles oauth-php library to try to make this work. Here is the result
message=Exception authenticating OAuth; errorCode=003200; statusCode=401
I'm obviously missing details on what to do here, ex: how to send the app id along with this. Does anyone have any experience or examples of getting a signature using PHP?
Thanks!
We have a complete QuickBooks PHP library that has a working OAuth implementation.
You can download it here:
There's an authentication example at:
- docs/example_ipp_oauth.php
And data access examples at:
- docs/example_ipp_ids_5.php
- docs/example_ipp_ids_6.php
- docs/example_ipp_ids_7.php
The Google OAuth libs should work also- it's a standard OAuth implementation and we've used the Google OAuth libs successfully in the past.
Error 401 suggests some authentication issues.
So, please verify your tokens using ApiExplorer tool(or any other RestClient) and verify the request header.
Using V2 ApiExplorer, you can get the API endpoint.
- V2 - https://developer.intuit.com/apiexplorer?apiname=V2QBO
Apiexplorer donsn't show the OAuth tokens. So, I would suggest you to use the following link to generate OAuth tokens. You can call the endpoint which you got from the Apiexplorer using the newly generated OAuth tokens. If it works, then use those tokens in you PHP application.
[PN - OAuth tokens don't depend upon API version ]
- https://appcenter.intuit.com/playground/oauth [ It works with V2 ]
Thanks
Since, this question is for v3 API access, you need to access- developer.intuit.com/apiexplorer?apiname=V3QBO
Refer to the ouath 1.0 docs to generate the signature as mentioned below:
http://oauth.net/core/1.0a/
http://oauth.net/core/1.0/#signing_process
Twitter example for generating signature-
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/creating-signature
