See more QuickBooks Examples

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.2 or greater.

; To further clarify, see OAuth 2.0 Authorization Flow

; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; IMPORTANT: You first need to define an App in the Quickbooks Developer Dashboard.
; See How to Create an App in QuickBooks Developer Dashboard
; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; This example is for desktop applicatons (it is not for code that runs on a web server).
; You'll need to add a line (or a few lines of code) to popup a web browser that navigates to a URL.

; This is the way to initially obtain the OAuth2 access token.  Afterwards it can be 
; repeatedly refreshed without user interaction, as shown in this example: Refresh Quickbooks OAuth2 Access Token.

$oOauth2 = ObjCreate("Chilkat.OAuth2")

; QuickBooks OAuth2 allows for an "http://localhost:<portNumber>/" callback URL for sandbox testing,
; but not for production.

; In production, your applicaton must use your own public web server as an intermediate
; to receive and forward the redirect to localhost.
; See Using Your Web Server as an Intermediary for OAuth2 Redirect to localhost

; 3: Success – OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the successful response is in AccessTokenResponse.

; 5: Failure – OAuth2 flow failed before completion, the background thread exited, and error details are in FailureInfo.
