tap-quickbooks

This tap is in development.

This is a Singer tap that produces JSON-formatted data following the Singer spec.

Description

This tap:

• Pulls raw data from Quickbooks API

• Extracts from the following sources to produce streams. Below is a list of all the streams available. See the streams file for a list of classes where each one has a constant indiciating if the stream's replication_method is INCREMENTAL or FULL_TABLE and what is the replication_key.

  • Stream
  • Accounts
  • Budgets
  • Classes
  • CreditMemos
  • BillPayments
  • SalesReceipts
  • Purchases
  • Payments
  • PurchaseOrders
  • PaymentMethods
  • JournalEntries
  • Items
  • Invoices
  • Customers
  • RefundReceipts
  • Deposits
  • Departments
  • Employees
  • Estimates
  • Bills
  • TaxAgencies
  • TaxCodes
  • TaxRates
  • Terms
  • TimeActivities
  • Transfers
  • VendorCredits
  • Vendors
  • DeletedObjects

• Includes a schema for each resource reflecting most recent tested data retrieved using the api. See the schema folder for details.

• Incrementally pulls data based on the input state

Authentication

Authentication is handled with oauth v2. In the tap configuration the following fields are required for authentication to work correctly:

• client_id
• client_secret
• refresh_token

These values are all obtained from the oauth steps documented on quickbook's documentation page.

Quick Start

1. Install

   Clone this repository, and then install using setup.py. We recommend using a virtualenv:

   $ virtualenv -p python3 venv
   $ source venv/bin/activate
   $ pip install -e .

2. Create your tap's config.json file. The tap config file for this tap should include these entries:

   • start_date - the default value to use if no bookmark exists for an endpoint (rfc3339 date string)
   • user_agent (string, optional): Process and email for API logging purposes. Example: tap-quickbooks <api_user_email@your_company.com>
   • sandbox (string, optional): Whether to communication with quickbooks's sandbox or prod account for this application. If you're not sure leave out. Defaults to false.

   And the other values mentioned in the authentication section above.

   {
   	"client_id": "<app_id>",
   	"start_date": "2020-08-21T00:00:00Z",
   	"refresh_token": "<refresh_token>",
   	"client_secret": "<app_secret>",
   	"sandbox": "<true|false>",
   	"user_agent": "Stitch Tap ([e-mail])"
   }

3. Run the Tap in Discovery Mode This creates a catalog.json for selecting objects/fields to integrate:

   tap-quickbooks --config config.json --discover > catalog.json

   See the Singer docs on discovery mode here.

4. Run the Tap in Sync Mode (with catalog) and write out to state file

   For Sync mode:

   $ tap-quickbooks --config tap_config.json --catalog catalog.json >> state.json
   $ tail -1 state.json > state.json.tmp && mv state.json.tmp state.json

   To load to json files to verify outputs:

   $ tap-quickbooks --config tap_config.json --catalog catalog.json | target-json >> state.json
   $ tail -1 state.json > state.json.tmp && mv state.json.tmp state.json

   To pseudo-load to Stitch Import API with dry run:

   $ tap-quickbooks --config tap_config.json --catalog catalog.json | target-stitch --config target_config.json --dry-run >> state.json
   $ tail -1 state.json > state.json.tmp && mv state.json.tmp state.json
