Push data to Intuit (QuickBooks)

Many thanks to Manuel Lemos for a very useful class. I am successfully connecting to QuickBooks Online using its OAuth facilities and pulling the list of Customers. I now need to add a new customer and add invoices.

If I read the Intuit API documents correctly I need to use

quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/compan ...

and pass the following for a new customer (in the Sandbox at present)

{
"BillAddr": {
"Line1": "123 Main Street",
"City": "Mountain View",
"Country": "USA",
"CountrySubDivisionCode": "CA",
"PostalCode": "94042"
},
"Notes": "Here are other details.",
"Title": "Mr",
"GivenName": "James",
"MiddleName": "B",
"FamilyName": "King",
"Suffix": "Jr",
"FullyQualifiedName": "King Groceries",
"CompanyName": "King Groceries",
"DisplayName": "King's Groceries",
"PrimaryPhone": {
"FreeFormNumber": "(555) 555-5555"
},
"PrimaryEmailAddr": {
"Address": "jdrew@myemail.com"
}
}

but cannot see how to pass these details using CallAPI.

If anyone has successfully done this, could they please let me know how they did it.

You need to set the ResponseContentType option to application/json and pass an object of stdClass as parameters. Something like:

$parameters = new stdClass;
$parameters->DisplayName = "King's Groceries";
// ..
$success = $client->CallAPI(
'https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/%3Crealmid%3E/customer',
'POST',
$parameters,
array(
'FailOnAccessError'=>true,
'RequestContentType'=>'application/json'
), $customer);

Many thanks indeed. Fundamentally that worked. I have a few wrinkles to iron out like how to portray child data

"PrimaryEmailAddr": {
"Address": "jdrew@myemail.com"

in $parameters.

Where the item is first level, it works fine. Once again, thank you for your assistance.

You need to create separate objects for each of those object entries because PHP does not have a way to define constant objects like there is for arrays.

$email = new stdClass;
$email->Address = "jdrew@myemail.com";
$parameters->PrimaryEmailAddr = $email;
