I am looking for a simple way (web service, API call, etc.) to simply get all upcoming invoices from Quickbooks Online Edition. Any easy way to achieve? I’m looking for a relatively high level abstraction.

Note: I am willing to disable authentication to avoid having to deal with certificates, etc. Just looking for a simple solution.

    Register your application with Intuit here: https://appreg.intuit.com/

    Register with:

    • Target Application: QBOE
    • Environment: Production
    • Application Type: desktop

    Go to this URL in a browser (substitute your own application ID into the URL):
    https://login.quickbooks.com/j/qbn/sdkapp/confirm?appid=YOUR-APPLICATION-ID-HERE&serviceid=2004&appdata=1

    When prompted, make sure you TURN LOGIN SECURITY OFF by choosing the “No. Anyone who can log into [Application Name] can use the connection.” option.

    You’ll get a connection ticket at the end of the process. Save it somewhere safe.

    Write a program to send this HTTP body: 

    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?qbxml version="6.0"?> 
<QBXML>
    <SignonMsgsRq>
        <SignonDesktopRq>
            <ClientDateTime>2009-10-09T07:10:10</ClientDateTime> 
            <ApplicationLogin>application login goes here</ApplicationLogin> 
            <ConnectionTicket>connection ticket goes here</ConnectionTicket> 
            <Language>English</Language> 
            <AppID>application id goes here</AppID> 
            <AppVer>1</AppVer> 
        </SignonDesktopRq> 
    </SignonMsgsRq> 
</QBXML>

    To Intuit’s server at:
    https://webapps.quickbooks.com/j/AppGateway

    You’ll get back a session ticket.

    Write a program to send this HTTP request:

    <?xml version="1.0" ?> 
<?qbxml version="6.0"?> 
<QBXML> 
    <SignonMsgsRq>
        <SignonTicketRq> 
            <ClientDateTime>2006-09-20T15:49:26</ClientDateTime> 
            <SessionTicket>session ticket goes here</SessionTicket>
            <Language>English</Language> 
            <AppID>application id goes here</AppID>
            <AppVer>1</AppVer> 
        </SignonTicketRq> 
    </SignonMsgsRq> 
    <QBXMLMsgsRq onError="continueOnError"> 
        <InvoiceQueryRq requestID="2"> 
            <MaxReturned>10</MaxReturned>
        </InvoiceQueryRq>
    </QBXMLMsgsRq> 
</QBXML>

    To that same URL.

    The response will be a bunch of invoice data, in XML format.

    Refer to the OSR when you need more details on syntax for qbXML requests:
    http://developer.intuit.com/qbsdk-current/common/newosr/index.html

    You can find some C# sample code here:
    http://wiki.consolibyte.com/wiki/doku.php/quickbooks_integration_csharp#c_net_sample_code_for_quickbooks_online_edition

    IMPORTANT NOTE FOR OTHER PEOPLE READING THIS POST: This should only be used for one-off/custom type applications. IF YOU’RE BUILDING A SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE APPLICATION and trying to allow your end-users to sync their own QuickBooks data with your application, then you should look at IPP/IDS instead of the above qbXML example. http://developer.intuit.com/
