QuickBooks Tokens API is one of 82 APIs that [QuickBooks](https://apis.io/providers/quickbooks/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification and an AsyncAPI event-driven specification. This API exposes 12 JSON Schema definitions. Tagged areas include Tokens. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, a getting-started guide, authentication docs, an AsyncAPI specification, and 12 JSON Schemas.

The token entity lets you create opaque containers to mask cardholder's credit card or bank account info. Your app can use the token to make API calls and process payments without reading or exposing any private info. Tokens aren't a customer-facing feature in QuickBooks Online. Instead, they're references that let apps anonymize and securely utilize payment info for transactions. Learn more about how to implement tokens. Note: As a best practice, use token entities to create a charge. This is the preferred way to send credit card information and maintain PCI compliance. Using the card endpoint directly may require you to get your app PCI-certified. Note: This entity can only be used for US-based QuickBooks Online companies. Available operations:POST/Create GET/Read Delete
