Hackathon [Feature]: Add QuickBooks data-source connector

Problem Statement

cognee has five data-source connectors today (confluence, gmail, google-drive, notion, slack) against roughly 120 planned. Data sources are the thinnest surface in the project.

QuickBooks is on the roadmap and has no connector.

Proposed Solution

Add a quickbooks connector under packages/connector/quickbooks/ in cognee-community, following the shape of the five existing connectors.

  • Auth: OAuth 2.0 + Intuit app
  • Ingest: invoices, bills, and memos
  • Incremental sync: Metadata.LastUpdatedTime via query
  • Forget-on-delete: deleting upstream must remove the record from the graph on the next sync

Watch out for

Intuit developer app plus a sandbox company. Setup is most of the work.

Package layout to follow

packages/connector/quickbooks/
├── README.md
├── cognee_community_connector_quickbooks/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── quickbooks.py
├── examples/
├── tests/
└── pyproject.toml

Read packages/connector/notion/ first — it is the closest working reference.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A user connects via OAuth 2.0 + Intuit app and selects what to ingest
  • Selected content is ingested and searchable in cognee
  • Incremental sync picks up only what changed since the last run
  • Deleting the source upstream removes it from the graph on the next sync
  • README with setup steps and a runnable example under examples/
  • Tests covering the ingest path and the incremental cursor

Context

Part of the cognee hackathon connector push. Difficulty: Advanced (H) — enterprise-gated account or a legacy API — claim only if you already have access
