Pulling Employees from QBO
Learn how to poll QBO for employee changes using timestamps.
In this exercise, we'll implement a polling mechanism that retrieves all employee records that have been modified since a specific timestamp. This approach ensures comprehensive data capture regardless of how old the changes are.
Key Concepts
- Using modification timestamps to filter API results
- Processing batches of records efficiently
- Tracking synchronization state for incremental updates
Implementation Approach
- We'll use the QBO Query API to filter employees by their
MetaData.LastUpdatedTime - The timestamp from the last successful sync will be stored and used for subsequent polls
- Results will be processed as they arrive to ensure efficient memory usage
