qbo-oauth2.psgi

Purpose: Demonstrates accessing Intuit API via OAuth2 and perl.

License: Use at your own risk. If you like it maybe buy me a beer sometime.

Notes:

• This code tries to minimize the use of libraries.
• This code tries to maximize readability to better convey concepts.
• This code looks nothing like my production code.
• This code does not show the disconnect endpoint, which you should implement.
• Plack is used because I am most familiar with it.
• If you try to contact me I may not help you or even reply.

General Gotchas:

• Ensure the authentication values do not contain newlines.
• If you POST then you need to submit the parameters in the body.
• When accessing the API the URL changes for production VS sandbox.
• You can only use localhost for the redirect URL in the sandbox.

To install and run:

• apt-get install libplack-perl libplack-middleware-session-perl
• Add redirect URI on QBO app keys tab.
• Update $Params from QBO app keys tab.
• plackup -r qbo-oauth2.psgi
• http://localhost:5000/
