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 sales-tax codes 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 sales-tax codes by their name(s), case-insensitive. Like id, name is a unique identifier for a sales-tax code.

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:
["Tax"]
​
limit
integer

The maximum number of objects to return.

IMPORTANT: QuickBooks Desktop does not support cursor-based pagination for sales-tax codes. This parameter will limit the response size, but you cannot fetch subsequent results using a cursor. For pagination, use the name-range parameters instead (e.g., nameFrom=A&nameTo=B).

When this parameter is omitted, the endpoint returns all sales-tax codes without limit, unlike paginated endpoints which default to 150 records. This is acceptable because sales-tax codes typically have low record counts.

Required range: x >= 1
Example:

10

​
status
enum<string>
default:active

Filter for sales-tax codes that are active, inactive, or both.

Available options:
active,
all,
inactive
Example:

"active"

​
updatedAfter
string

Filter for sales-tax codes 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+00:00"

​
updatedBefore
string

Filter for sales-tax codes 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+00:00"

​
nameContains
string

Filter for sales-tax codes 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 sales-tax codes 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 sales-tax codes whose name ends with this substring, case-insensitive.

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