Minor versions

The QuickBooks Online API supports minor versions in order to provide a way for you to access incremental changes without breaking existing apps.

Working with minor versions

Use the minorversion query parameter in REST API requests to access a version of the API other than the generally available version. For example, to invoke minor version 1 of the JournalEntry entity, issue the following request:
https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/<realmID>/journalentry/entityId?minorversion=1
XSD download available when generating your own deserialized classes. See table below for links.
Minor version changes can be accessed on a per-resource basis. There is no need to apply a minor version to all resources unless you wish to do so.

Using the SDK with minor versions

The SDK version noted in the Minimum SDK Version column of the table below automatically accesses the features of the given minor version and all prior versions.
Once a newer version of SDK is released, update your code to take advantage of new features and new minor version support. Apps using older version of the SDK will continue to run, however.
