Thanks for your help. I finally got it. It turns out the method account I was using didn't have the right permissions, but for some reason I didn't get the right error message for this web service. But now that the admin of my company gave me the right permissions, it works!

It's still very unfortunate that you don't support returning JSON instead of XML, because parsing the XML will be a time-consuming process that is unnecessary. JSON is the industry standard at this point and I know the .NET server you are using supports it!

The MethodAPITableListV2 endpoint will return a list of all tables within your account - including any new custom tables you've created, and standard QuickBooks tables like Customer and Inoivce.

To verify - you tried using the tool available HERE and still did not receive a valid response? You only need to input your Method company account name, login email, and password to receive a response.

If you send me an email with your Method account name, I can try running a request from my side to validate everything is working correctly.

I'm still getting an empty response, I don't know why. Does this method only list custom tables? Should I see tables like Customers, Invoices, etc.?

Hi Otto,

You should expect to see a list of tables in the response from MethodAPITableListV2. Please verify the parameters being passed to the endpoint. You can verify the required parameters and also perform a test from your browser HERE.

Thanks,

Hi vonwao,

Can you please provide more details as to which API endpoint you are calling? That will help us compare the results being returned to what is expected.

Cheers

When I call a web service I don't get any data back, I only get this response

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?><MethodAPI response = "Success" ><MethodIntegration /></MethodAPI>

</string>

What is thsi MethodIntegration tag and how do I get the data?
