QuickBooks Online APIs & oauth
Hey all, I'm in the very beginning stages of setting up a couple of API calls (send via "make request" step in pipelines) to QuickBooks Online. I have searched for an example of a successful implemen...

Ok update on our Quickbase to Quickbooks integration saga. After working with Support, there is no way we can do an OAUTH token workflow with Pipelines as it currently stands. We cannot make an OAuth Request, have it callback to Quickbase to give us the token, to then use in subsequent API calls. This is an overview what we had to do
- We created a FastAPI instance
- We created routes to do the OAuth and then be the callback to get the token
- Make functions to then post to the Estimates Model that we defined in pydantic
- Make functions to accept a Post request from a Pipeline, that will then do the whole POST to Quickbooks to create the Estimate object we need
- We are currently in process of building the models to other Quickbooks objects and are building out our workflow now
So our solution, was to build one ourselves, since it would be faster than waiting for QuickBase to support additional Quickbooks object.

Hi Jamelle,
I hope you're doing well! I'm continuing to try and get this API call working. I've been building it out as a FastAPI instance, and I am struggling to get it formatted properly. I'm wondering if you'd be willing to share an example of how you configured your FastAPI instance?
I'm attempting (we'll see) to figure out a way to handle everything in a single FastAPI instance that I can call from a pipeline, since all I need is one piece of data queried from an Invoice object (the share link) and I'm thinking I might be able to set up a single FastAPI to navigate the Oauth flow and pass back that url to QB via my pipeline.
