Instructions for getting started with the example app no longer work about qbo_api HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for this...

I've been having similar discrepancies based on the supplied example (and YouTube video)

What's even worse is my end goal is a simple command line utility to export AR invoice and reformat it for posting into another legacy accounting system. OAUTH2 with QBO redirect is messing with my mind. :-(

Thanks @JohnSmall for posting that. Glad it is already helping. If you can fix up the README that would great too.

Ok, I think the most important part of the fix in the README would be to change

Part 1: Learn how to spin up the example app.

to

Part: Learn how to spin up the example app with OAuth (link to the OAuth section) or If you signed 
 up for a Intuit developer account after July 17th, 2017 follow this example (link to OAuth 2 section)

After spending ages working out how to get the example to work using the instructions for OAuth, linked at the top of the page, I found the complete instructions for OAuth2 at the bottom of the page.

What do you think? I'll fork, change and make a PR if that's how you'd like it.

Question following on from that. The specs require setting Consumer Key and Consumer Secret, which aren't available if you've got a recent QBO account and can't use OAuth. So how do I run the specs? I'm about to find out.

re: README. Yes, send in a PR.

Yeah, specs aren't OAuth2 ready but it shouldn't be too much work to support them.

Something in spec/support/credentials.rb => creds() to use the oauth2_creds() hash instead based on what vars you have set in the .env file.

That'll be great if you could work on that too.

Yes, I can see the issue with specs and OAuth2. I'll do that as well while I'm at it. Separate PRs though.
