Integration with QuickBooks is easy if you know the OAuth flow. QuickBooks uses the OAuth 1.0 specification. They provide libraries for PHP, Java and other popular languages. For ColdFusion/Railo, you can use the OAuth implementation from http://oauth.riaforge.org/.
Usually the error messages from QB are self-explanatory and are mostly related with Signature or the Access token/secret. This one particular error left us a bit embarrassed as there were no help available. But we quickly found it was a data issue.
The error while trying to retrieve data from QB is as follows:
{“warnings”:null,”intuitObject”:null,”fault”:{“error”:[{“message”:”Unauthorized”,”detail”:”Auth ID does not exist -\nauthid: 1234567890 \nException from other package:\n com.intuit.platform.services.qbn.domain.auth.AuthMgrException”,”code”:”EDGE-CR-ERR-8090″,”element”:null}],”type”:”SystemFault”},”report”:null,”queryResponse”:null,”batchItemResponse”:[],”attachableResponse”:[],”syncErrorResponse”:null,”requestId”:null,”time”:null,”status”:null,”cdcresponse”:[],”olbtransaction”:null,”olbstatus”:null}
This error occurs when you pass the wrong Realm ID. The Realm ID (referred as: Company ID) is sent from QB on the previous step of getting request token. This has to be saved in such a way that it can be used on all future requests.
If you pass the wrong Realm ID is the error you will receive.
