tap-quickbooks

Singer tap that extracts data from a Quickbooks database and produces JSON-formatted data following the Singer spec.

$ mkvirtualenv -p python3 tap-quickbooks
$ pip install tap-quickbooks
$ tap-quickbooks --config config.json --discover
$ tap-quickbooks --config config.json --properties properties.json --state state.json

Quickstart

Install the tap

> pip install tap-quickbooks

Create a Config file

{
  "client_id": "secret_client_id",
  "client_secret": "secret_client_secret",
  "refresh_token": "abc123",
  "realmId": "123456789012345678901234567890"
  "start_date": "2017-11-02T00:00:00Z",
  "api_type": "REST",
  "select_fields_by_default": true
}

The client_id and client_secret keys are your OAuth Quickbooks App secrets. The refresh_token is a secret created during the OAuth flow. For more info on the Quickbooks OAuth flow, visit the Quickbooks documentation.

The start_date is used by the tap as a bound on SOQL queries when searching for records. This should be an RFC3339 formatted date-time, like "2018-01-08T00:00:00Z". For more details, see the Singer best practices for dates.

The api_type should always be set to "REST". When new fields are discovered in Quickbooks objects, the select_fields_by_default key describes whether or not the tap will select those fields by default.

Run Discovery

To run discovery mode, execute the tap with the config file.

> tap-quickbooks --config config.json --discover > properties.json

Sync Data

To sync data, select fields in the properties.json output and run the tap.

> tap-quickbooks --config config.json --properties properties.json [--state state.json]
