Get started with dimensions

The following information, with links to more detailed pages, will get you started creating and managing dimensions in your own apps.

For detailed information on how to develop using the GraphQL query language, including endpoints, authentication, required headers, and testing, see Learn about GraphQL. For information on how to develop apps using GraphQL, including best practices and an FAQ, see Develop with GraphQL.

Authorize your app as described here.

Scopes limit what data your app can read and update. Instead of getting broad permissions for everything, set granular permissions so your app only focuses on what’s necessary. Here are the scopes for the Intuit Enterprise Suite Dimensions API:

• app-foundations.custom-dimensions.read: Allows access to read dimensions.
• com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting: For Accounting REST API access.

To develop your app using dimensions you will use both the dimensions API, which is based on GraphQL and uses a single endpoint, and also the QuickBooks Online REST APIs.

• Production endpoint: https://qb.api.intuit.com/graphql
• Accounting REST API: https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/entityname/

• Content-type: application/json
• Authorization: Bearer access_token
