Server to server token

[matll42]

Hi, I have a project to interconnect my CRM with quickbook, but I don't want to do any human action to do this sync.

From what I saw, everytime I want to make an action, I have to go through the auhentication process (stored in session).
But in my case I want all action to run server side without human to log in.

Is there a way to achieve it with API Key or something else?

You can try accessing through QBWC plugin:

I personally created a robot using Python that posts transactions from a spreadsheet at lightning speed

Isn't the token supposed to be good for 100 days?

I'm building a plugin on WP to create a form that will create a customer in QB and having to make the handshake between the website and QB for authentification is a pain.

What's the point to have and API with ids and secrets keys that need a modal to make an authentifation on QB each time you need a new token

yes, we lost all the interest of the API in case of a server side usage (like me). I had to recreate a manual trigger by user to authenticate him/her so the server can do its process. For that intuit is not that _intuit_ive 😢
My project is still halfway done, on hold because of that painful authentication
