# List all time tracking activities

`GET /quickbooks-desktop/time-tracking-activities`

Returns a list of time tracking activities. Use the `cursor` parameter to paginate through the results.

## Query parameters

- `ids` string[] — Filter for specific time tracking activities 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.
- `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.
- `updatedAfter` string — Filter for time tracking activities 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 time tracking activities 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.
- `transactionDateFrom` string, date — Filter for time tracking activities whose `date` field is on or after this date, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). **NOTE:** QuickBooks Desktop interprets this 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`).
- `transactionDateTo` string, date — Filter for time tracking activities whose `date` field is on or before this date, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). **NOTE:** QuickBooks Desktop interprets this 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`).
- `entityIds` string[] — Filter for time tracking activities tracking the time of these employees, vendors, or persons on QuickBooks's "Other Names" list.

## Response `200`

Returns a list of time tracking activities.

- 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` QbdTimeTrackingActivity[], required — The array of time tracking activities.
    - `id` string, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this time tracking activity. This ID is unique across all transaction types.
    - `objectType` 'qbd_time_tracking_activity', required — The type of object. This value is always `"qbd_time_tracking_activity"`.
    - `createdAt` string, required — The date and time when this time tracking activity 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 time tracking activity 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 time tracking activity 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.
    - `transactionDate` string, date, required — The date of this time tracking activity, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD).
    - `entity` object, required — The employee, vendor, or person on QuickBooks's "Other Names" list whose time is being tracked in this time tracking activity. This cannot refer to a customer - use the `customer` field to associate a customer or customer-job with this time tracking activity.
      - `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.
    - `customer` object, nullable, required — The customer or customer-job to which this time tracking activity could be billed. If `billingStatus` is set to "billable", this field is required.
      - `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.
    - `serviceItem` object, nullable, required — The type of service performed during this time tracking activity, referring to billable or purchasable services such as specialized labor, consulting hours, and professional fees. **NOTE**: This field is not required if no `customer` is specified. However, if `billingStatus` is set to "billable", both this field and `customer` are required.
      - `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.
    - `duration` string, required — The time spent performing the service during this time tracking activity, in ISO 8601 format for time intervals (PTnHnMnS). For example, 1 hour and 30 minutes is represented as PT1H30M. **NOTE**: Although seconds can be specified when creating a time tracking activity, they are not returned in responses since QuickBooks Desktop's UI does not display seconds. **IMPORTANT**: This field is required for updating time tracking activities, even if the field is not being modified, because of a bug in QuickBooks itself.
    - `class` object, nullable, required — The time tracking activity's class. Classes can be used to categorize objects into meaningful segments, such as department, location, or type of work. In QuickBooks, class tracking is off by default.
      - `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.
    - `payrollWageItem` object, nullable, required — The payroll wage item (e.g., Regular Pay, Overtime Pay) to use for this time tracking activity. This field can only be used for time tracking if: (1) the person specified in `entity` is an employee in QuickBooks, and (2) the "Use time data to create paychecks" preference is enabled in their payroll settings.
      - `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.

    - `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.
    - `isBilled` boolean, nullable, required — Indicates whether this time tracking activity has been billed.
  - `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.
