fullNamesstring[]

Filter for specific accounts by their full-name(s), case-insensitive. Like id, fullName is a unique identifier for an account, formed by by combining the names of its parent objects with its own name, separated by colons. For example, if an account is under "Corporate" and has the name "Accounts-Payable", its fullName would be "Corporate:Accounts-Payable".

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

limitinteger

The maximum number of objects to return.

IMPORTANT: QuickBooks Desktop does not support cursor-based pagination for accounts. 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 accounts without limit, unlike paginated endpoints which default to 150 records. This is acceptable because accounts typically have low record counts.

Example:10
