--- title: "List all item groups" method: GET path: "/quickbooks-desktop/item-groups" --- # List all item groups `GET /quickbooks-desktop/item-groups` Returns a list of item groups. Use the `cursor` parameter to paginate through the results. ## Query parameters - `ids` string[] — Filter for specific item groups by their QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier(s). **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. - `names` string[] — Filter for specific item groups by their name(s), case-insensitive. Like `id`, `name` is a unique identifier for an item group. **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. - `limit` integer — The maximum number of objects to return. Accepts values ranging from 1 to 150, defaults to 150. When used with cursor-based pagination, this parameter controls how many results are returned per page. To paginate through results, combine this with the `cursor` parameter. Each response will include a `nextCursor` value that can be passed to subsequent requests to retrieve the next page of results. - `cursor` string — The pagination token to fetch the next set of results when paginating with the `limit` parameter. Do not include this parameter on the first call. Use the `nextCursor` value returned in the previous response to request subsequent results. - `status` 'active' | 'all' | 'inactive' — Filter for item groups that are active, inactive, or both. - `updatedAfter` string — Filter for item groups updated on or after this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats: - **date-only** (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the **start of the specified day** in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., `2025-01-01` → `2025-01-01T00:00:00`). - **datetime without timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - **datetime with timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone. - `updatedBefore` string — Filter for item groups updated on or before this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats: - **date-only** (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the **end of the specified day** in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., `2025-01-01` → `2025-01-01T23:59:59`). - **datetime without timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - **datetime with timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone. - `nameContains` string — Filter for item groups whose `name` contains this substring, case-insensitive. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `nameStartsWith` or `nameEndsWith`. - `nameStartsWith` string — Filter for item groups whose `name` starts with this substring, case-insensitive. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `nameContains` or `nameEndsWith`. - `nameEndsWith` string — Filter for item groups whose `name` ends with this substring, case-insensitive. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `nameContains` or `nameStartsWith`. - `nameFrom` string — Filter for item groups whose `name` is alphabetically greater than or equal to this value. - `nameTo` string — Filter for item groups whose `name` is alphabetically less than or equal to this value. ## Headers - `Conductor-End-User-Id` string, required — The ID of the End-User to receive this request. ## Response `200` Returns a list of item groups. - object - `objectType` 'list', required — The type of object. This value is always `"list"`. - `url` string, required — The endpoint URL where this list can be accessed. - `data` QbdItemGroup[], required — The array of item groups. - `id` string, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this item group. This ID is unique across all item groups but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `objectType` 'qbd_item_group', required — The type of object. This value is always `"qbd_item_group"`. - `createdAt` string, required — The date and time when this item group was created, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - `updatedAt` string, required — The date and time when this item group was last updated, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - `revisionNumber` string, required — The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of this item group object, which changes each time the object is modified. When updating this object, you must provide the most recent `revisionNumber` to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error. - `name` string, required — The case-insensitive unique name of this item group, unique across all item groups. **NOTE**: Item groups do not have a `fullName` field because they are not hierarchical objects, which is why `name` is unique for them but not for objects that have parents. - `barcode` string, nullable, required — The item group's barcode. - `isActive` boolean, required — Indicates whether this item group is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`. - `description` string, nullable, required — The item group's description that will appear on sales forms that include this item. - `unitOfMeasureSet` object, nullable, required — The unit-of-measure set associated with this item group, which consists of a base unit and related units. - `id` string, nullable, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive. - `shouldPrintItemsInGroup` boolean, required — Indicates whether the individual items in this item group and their separate amounts appear on printed forms. - `specialItemType` 'finance_charge' | 'reimbursable_expense_group' | 'reimbursable_expense_subtotal', nullable, required — The type of special item for this item group. - `externalId` string, nullable, required — A globally unique identifier (GUID) you, the developer, can provide for tracking this object in your external system. This field is immutable and can only be set during object creation. - `lines` QbdItemGroupLine[], required — The item lines in this item group. - `item` object, nullable, required — The item associated with this item group line. This can refer to any good or service that the business buys or sells, including item types such as a service item, inventory item, or special calculation item like a discount item or sales-tax item. - `id` string, nullable, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive. - `quantity` number, nullable, required — The quantity of the item group associated with this item group line. This field cannot be cleared. **NOTE**: Do not use this field if the associated item group is a discount item group. - `unitOfMeasure` string, nullable, required — The unit-of-measure used for the `quantity` in this item group line. Must be a valid unit within the item's available units of measure. - `customFields` QbdCustomField[], required — The custom fields for the item group object, added as user-defined data extensions, not included in the standard QuickBooks object. - `ownerId` string, required — The identifier of the owner of the custom field, which QuickBooks internally calls a "data extension". For public custom fields visible in the UI, such as those added by the QuickBooks user, this is always "0". For private custom fields that are only visible to the application that created them, this is a valid GUID identifying the owning application. Internally, Conductor always fetches all public custom fields (those with an `ownerId` of "0") for all objects. - `name` string, required — The name of the custom field, unique for the specified `ownerId`. For public custom fields, this name is visible as a label in the QuickBooks UI. - `type` 'amount_type' | 'date_time_type' | 'integer_type' | 'percent_type' | 'price_type' | 'quantity_type' | 'string_1024_type' | 'string_255_type', required — The data type of this custom field. - `value` string, required — The value of this custom field. The maximum length depends on the field's data type. - `nextCursor` string, nullable, required — The `nextCursor` is a pagination token returned in the response when you use the `limit` parameter in your request. To retrieve subsequent pages of results, include this token as the value of the `cursor` request parameter in your following API calls. **NOTE**: The `nextCursor` value remains constant throughout the pagination process for a specific list instance; continue to use the same `nextCursor` token in each request to fetch additional pages. - `remainingCount` number, nullable, required — The number of objects remaining to be fetched. - `hasMore` boolean, required — Indicates whether there are more objects to be fetched. --- [API](https://skmtc.net/conductor-is/apis/conductor-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.net/conductor-is/apis/conductor-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc-service-staging.skmtc.workers.dev/v1/apis/conductor-is/conductor-api/revisions/0b07b3ebe160/schema)
