Quickbooks API + Jupyter Notebook

0
votes

I am creating a Jupyter Notebook (http://jupyter.org/) in order to pull financial data from our current accounting software (Quickbooks Online).

I've worked through Quickbook's API explorer, but cannot find any documentation related to authorization for Quickbooks API; each request that I submit via the Jupyter Notebook is an authentication error.

I was wondering if there is a simple command (e.g quickbooks.apikey = [API KEY]) that I can use to pass my API key and authenticate properly.

NOTE: I do not need this to be a production-server so I do not think OAuth is necessary - just need to pass along my API key so that I can pull down a Report locally.

Thanks!

Authentication is via OAuth. You need to use OAuth.

OAuth is necessary.
