Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Your Conductor secret key using Bearer auth (e.g., "Authorization: Bearer {{YOUR_SECRET_KEY}}").

Headers

Conductor-End-User-Id

string

required

The ID of the End-User to receive this request.

Example:

"end_usr_1234567abcdefg"

Query Parameters

ids

string[]

Filter for specific employees by their QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier(s).

IMPORTANT: If you include this parameter, QuickBooks will ignore all other query parameters for this request.

NOTE: If any of the values you specify in this parameter are not found, the request will return an error.

Example:

["80000001-1234567890"]

names

string[]

Filter for specific employees by their name(s), case-insensitive. Like id, name is a unique identifier for an employee.

IMPORTANT: If you include this parameter, QuickBooks will ignore all other query parameters for this request.

NOTE: If any of the values you specify in this parameter are not found, the request will return an error.

Example:

["John Doe"]

limit

integer

The maximum number of objects to return.

IMPORTANT: QuickBooks Desktop does not support cursor-based pagination for employees, so this parameter only limits the response size. To page through employees by name, see Paging by name.

When this parameter is omitted, the endpoint returns all employees without limit, unlike paginated endpoints which default to 150 records.

Required range: x >= 1

Example:

10

status

enum<string>

default:active

Filter for employees that are active, inactive, or both.

Available options:

active,

all,

inactive

Example:

"active"

updatedAfter

string

Filter for employees updated on or after this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats:

date-only (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the start of the specified day in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., 2025-01-01 → 2025-01-01T00:00:00).
datetime without timezone (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
datetime with timezone (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone.

Example:

"2025-01-01T12:34:56.000Z"

updatedBefore

string

Filter for employees updated on or before this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats:

date-only (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the end of the specified day in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., 2025-01-01 → 2025-01-01T23:59:59).
datetime without timezone (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
datetime with timezone (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone.

Example:

"2025-02-01T12:34:56.000Z"

nameContains

string

Filter for employees whose name contains this substring, case-insensitive.

NOTE: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use nameStartsWith or nameEndsWith.

Example:

"ABC"

nameStartsWith

string

Filter for employees whose name starts with this substring, case-insensitive.

NOTE: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use nameContains or nameEndsWith.

Example:

"ABC"

nameEndsWith

string

Filter for employees whose name ends with this substring, case-insensitive.

NOTE: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use nameContains or nameStartsWith.

Example:

"ABC"

nameFrom

string

Filter for employees whose name sorts at or after this value (inclusive), compared case-insensitively in QuickBooks' sort order: punctuation first, then digits, then letters.

When you set nameFrom or nameTo, QuickBooks returns employees sorted by name in that order; without either, the order is not guaranteed. To page through employees by name, see Paging by name.

NOTE: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use nameContains, nameStartsWith, or nameEndsWith.

Example:

"A"

nameTo

string

Filter for employees whose name sorts at or before this value (inclusive), compared case-insensitively in QuickBooks' sort order: punctuation first, then digits, then letters. If you also set nameFrom, it must not sort after this value, or QuickBooks returns an error.

When you set nameFrom or nameTo, QuickBooks returns employees sorted by name in that order; without either, the order is not guaranteed.

NOTE: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use nameContains, nameStartsWith, or nameEndsWith.

Example:

"Z"

Response

200 - application/json

Returns a list of employees.

objectType

string

required

The type of object. This value is always "list".

Allowed value: "list"

Example:
