Minor versions of our API

The QuickBooks Online Accounting API supports past versions of our API.

We also maintain “minor versions” of our APIs to make incremental changes.

You can use minor version queries when to access a specific version of an API entity that’s stable with your app. Using minor versions is optional. Whenever we update the API schema, you can update your code to match the latest version, or keep your existing code with a minor version.

How minor versions work

You can use the minor version of any API entity. We recommend working with only one minor version at a time, not multiple versions, to avoid schema conflicts.

You can access minor versions on a per resource basis. You don’t need to use minor versions for all resources unless you want to.

How to use minor versions with SDKs

The SDK version automatically gives you the latest features of our APIs and all prior versions.

When we update our SDKs, you can update your code to take advantage of new features and version support. Apps using older versions of SDKs will continue to run.

If you’re using an SDK, you need to set the minor version parameter as a part of the serviceContext object. You can set this in your config file so your app appends the correct minor version to request base URLs.

For the .Net SDK

1
2
3
ServiceContext context = new ServiceContext(appToken, realmId, intuitServiceType, reqvalidator);

context.IppConfiguration.MinorVersion.Qbo = "28";

For the Java SDK

1
2
context = new Context(oauth, appToken, ServiceType.QBO, realmID);
context.setMinorVersion("8");

Note

Important: We update our SDKs to support the latest API version by default. Unless you’re referencing a specific minor version, you’ll use the latest version associated with the SDK.
How to use minor versions without an SDK

If you want to use a minor version of an API, use the minor version query parameter: https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/<realmId>/<apiEntity>/entityId?minorversion=<#>

Replace the following in the parameter:

Here’s an example minor version query for minor version 1 of the journalEntry entity:

https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/<123456789>/journalentry/entityId?minorversion=1
