Creating a Custom OAuth Application

Creating a custom OAuth application enables you to generate OAuth credentials that are passed during user authentication.

Procedure

1. Log in to your QuickBooks Time Account.
2. At the left navigation pane, select Feature Add-ons > Manage Add-ons.
3. Select API Add-On.
4. Click Install.
5. Select Add a new application at bottom left. If a followup window does not display, return to the left navigation pane's Feature Add-ons area and select API.
6. Enter a short name and a meaningful description for the new application.
7. Set the Redirect URL to http://localhost:33333 (the component's default) OR set a different port of your choice.
   Record this value; you will supply it as the CallbackURL.
8. Click Save. The admin tool generates the OAuth Client Id and Client Secret.
   Record these values for future use.
9. (Optional:) If you want to generate your access token now and connect with InitiateOAuth set to OFF, click Add Token at the bottom left portion of the display. This generates a token for immediate use.

You can access the custom OAuth application (referred to as the API Add-On) from the left navigation pane's Feature Add-ons section.
