QbXML for Querying for Items

Example qbXML Request

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?qbxml version="7.0"?>
<QBXML>
  <QBXMLMsgsRq onError="stopOnError">
    <ItemQueryRq requestID="SXRlbVF1ZXJ5fDEyMA==" >
      <FullName>your item name</FullName>
    </ItemQueryRq>
  </QBXMLMsgsRq>
</QBXML>
 

Example qbXML Response

If no items matched the search, you'll get something like this back:

 
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<QBXML>
  <QBXMLMsgsRs>
    <ItemQueryRs requestID="SXRlbVF1ZXJ5fDEyMA==" statusCode="500" statusSeverity="Warn" statusMessage="The query request has not been fully completed. There was a required element (&quot;your item name&quot;) that could not be found in QuickBooks." />
  </QBXMLMsgsRs>
</QBXML>
