python-freshbooks

Not officaily supported

The goal of this project is to provide a python wrapper for FreshBooks API for now it only supports get and post

Usage.

This Library is assuming that we are using a webapplication oauth login flow.

Ie a user will authorize the application using the library through FreshBooks U.I and then they'll be redirected to your domain with that code.

Get your first access token and refresh token

from freshbooks.client import Client

# This code has to be obtained after a user authorizes your app through FreshBooks U.I.
code = "<my_user_code>"

# Generated by FreshBooks after registering your integration with them
client_id = "<client_id>"
client_secret = "<client_secret>"
redirect_uri = "<redirectt_uri"

client = Client(
	client_id,
	client_secret,
	redirect_uri
)

client.fetch_access_token(code)

me = client.get('/auth/api/v1/users/me')

# save client.bearer_token and client.refresh_token for future use

Assuming you've already saved a bearer token and refresh token

from freshbooks.client import Client

access_token = 'abcdef'
refresh_token = 'jhijkl'

client_id = "<client_id>"
client_secret = "<client_secret>"

client = Client(
	client_id,
	client_secret,
	bearer_token=access_token,
	refresh_token=refresh_token
)

client.refresh_access_token()
# save client.bearer_token and client.refresh_token for future use

me = client.get('/auth/api/v1/users/me')
