# What is Conductor?

> The best QuickBooks Desktop integration on the planet.

Conductor is a real-time, fully-typed API for QuickBooks Desktop (sometimes called QuickBooks Enterprise), available via Python, Node.js, TypeScript, and REST. In just a few lines, get real-time access to fetch, create, or update [*any* QuickBooks Desktop object type](/api-ref) and receive a fully-typed response.

We put a ridiculous amount of effort into making Conductor as amazing as possible. Seriously.
