List all currencies

Returns a list of currencies.

NOTE: QuickBooks Desktop does not support pagination for currencies; hence, there is no cursor parameter. Users typically have few currencies.

[
  "80000001-1234567890"
]

namesstring[]

Filter for specific currencies by their name(s), case-insensitive. Like id, name is a unique identifier for a currency.

IMPORTANT: If you include this parameter, QuickBooks will ignore all other query parameters for this request.

NOTE: If any of the values you specify in this parameter are not found, the request will return an error.

limitinteger

The maximum number of objects to return.

IMPORTANT: QuickBooks Desktop does not support cursor-based pagination for currencies. This parameter will limit the response size, but you cannot fetch subsequent results using a cursor. For pagination, use the name-range parameters instead (e.g., nameFrom=A&nameTo=B).

When this parameter is omitted, the endpoint returns all currencies without limit, unlike paginated endpoints which default to 150 records. This is acceptable because currencies typically have low record counts.

Example:10

The maximum number of objects to return.

status'active' | 'all' | 'inactive'

Filter for currencies that are active, inactive, or both.

Example:active

Filter for currencies that are active, inactive, or both.

datetime without timezone (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
