Get Started with the Project API

The following information, with links to more detailed pages, will get you started developing your own project management apps.

For detailed information on how to develop using the GraphQL query language, including endpoints, authentication, required headers, and testing, see Learn about GraphQL. For information on how to develop QuickBooks Online apps using GraphQL, including best practices and an FAQ, see Develop with GraphQL.

Authorize your app as described here.

Scopes limit what data your app can read and update. Instead of getting broad permissions for everything, set granular permissions so your app only focuses on what’s necessary.

Here are the scopes for the QuickBooks Online Project API:

• project-management.project: Allows access to read and write project data.
• com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting: For Accounting REST API access.

To develop your app using Project you will use both the Project API, which is based on GraphQL and uses a single endpoint, and also the QuickBooks Online REST API.

• Production endpoint: https://qb.api.intuit.com/graphql
• Sandbox endpoint: https://qb-sandbox.api.intuit.com/graphql
• Accounting REST API: https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/entityname/

• Content-type: application/json
• Authorization: Bearer access_token
