Quickbooks Desktop REST API

Let's find an application that works best with QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @mcperr3.

There are lots of apps that work perfectly with QBDT. You can look for a third-party app from our Apps for QuickBooks Desktop. Just choose the right application that suits your business.

After looking for that application, you can check with their Customer Support on how to sync or integrate it with QBDT. 

In the meantime, here are different ways on how you can track transactions in QBDT: Get started with customer transaction workflows in QuickBooks Desktop. 

I'm always here if you need more help looking for the perfect app that suits your needs. Take care and have a wonderful day!

Hi Mary - 

Thank you for your reply. I took a look at the apps in your link and filtered by the 'data sync' category but it looks like a lot of these are for Quickbooks Online and not Quickbooks Desktop. Is there any way to filter down to just QBDT apps?

It seems that what Method CRM is doing is pretty rare. I can't seem to find another app that does the same thing. Specifically, I'm looking for an app that syncs all of our transaction tables from QBDT (Invoice, InvoiceLine, Salesorder, SalesorderLine, etc) and also provides us a REST API interface in order to work with those transactions. 

Instead of clicking through each of those apps in your link, I figured it'd be quicker to ask if someone had experience with an app that does what we're looking for.

Thanks for getting back with the Community, mcperr3.

I've reviewed the link provided by MaryJoyD and can confirm all apps available there are for QuickBooks Desktop.

While you're researching them to find one that may work for your business, I'd recommend reading their features, reviews, questions, etc. This will help you to better understand how each application works.

You'll also be able to find many detailed resources about using QuickBooks in our help article archives.

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a lovely day!

Zack - 

Thanks for pointing that out. I must have navigated away from the Desktop-specific app page somehow. 

Bumping this thread. Are there really no other apps that sync your QB data that provide a REST API? Because I can't find one.

@mcperr3 

What kind of 3rd party app do you need to integrate with QBD? 

I was told that Qucikbooks Desktop 2021 has a REST API interface like Cloud Quickbooks.  But I cannot find any document references to it.  Can someone help?

Hi @Minh-FreeAgent 

Did you ever find anything here? We're looking for the same.. some kind of Rest API on top of Quickbooks Desktop.

Has anyone found a solution here? I'm looking to do something similar as well

I appreciate you joining the thread, @guyfriedman. I'll join this thread to help you find a solution that can seamlessly work with QuickBooks Desktop. 

As provided by my colleague MJoy_D above, we're unable to provide a specific app here in QuickBooks Community. There are several third-party applications integrated with QuickBooks Desktop. I can guide you on how to find one that suits your business needs.

I'll show you how:

1. Go to Help from the menu and choose App Center: Find more Business Solutions.
2. Use the search bar and enter the keyword to look for an app.
3. Choose an app from the list.
   
   

You can also go to this link: Apps for QuickBooks Desktop, and select which application best meets your needs from the list. 

Moreover, check out this page that contains resources as your guide while working with your transactions in the future: QuickBooks Desktop help articles.

@guyfriedman 

Are you an app developer or looking for a 3rd party app to integrate with QBD?

Hello! We are looking for the same thing (REST API integration on top of Quickbooks Desktop). Did you find any solution?

Hey @Carneil_C 

We are looking for the same solution as others (REST API to read/write data to Quickbooks Desktop database).
Maybe you can suggest something or suggest a third-party app for this functionality?

@emils_flashpoint 

Do you need to integrate QB Desktop with any third-party applications?

We thought maybe there was an app from "Apps for QuickBooks Desktop " that would allow us to use REST API (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) calls to work with Quickbooks Desktop 2019 database data. For example, we could use Node.js to read/write/delete data with simple REST API calls

Hi there, emils_flashpoint.

I understand the need to have a third-party application that would allow you to use REST API (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) calls to work with Quickbooks Desktop 2019 database data. 

At this time, we're unable to provide a specific app that you can integrate with QuickBooks. However, you can browse our QuickBooks Apps Store page to search for software that suits your needs.

In addition to that, our resident ambassador, @Fiat Lux, might have an idea of what specific app you can use.
