Source Fortnox

Tell us about the new connector you’d like to have

We need to integrate data from Fortnox which is a Swedish financial software for accounting, stockkeeping et.c.

https://apps.fortnox.se/apidocs

Describe the context around this new connector

• Why do you need this integration? How does your team intend to use the data? This helps us understand the use case.
  The use case is to eventually load this financial data into Snowflake for analysis

One particularly tricky thing with this connector is that the REST API only support a-non standad variant of the OAuth authorization code grant type that will eventually issue an access_token that is valid for an hour, and a refresh token that is valid for 31 days. After this time an admin in fortnox would have to log in again to generate a new access-token and refresh-token.

• How often do you want to run syncs?
  Daily should suffice initially.

• If this is an API source connector, which entities/endpoints do you need supported?
  I still have to figure this out by talking to teh business.

• If the connector is for a paid service, can we name you as a mutual user when we subscribe for an account? Which company should we name?
  I'm not affiliated with Fortnox, just using their existing REST API, so I don't think that .

Describe the alternative you are considering or using

Well a REST API integration not using Airbyte, but that would not be preferrable as we'd like to keep our existing stack homogeneous.

Are you willing to submit a PR?

Yes, working on it already and have got an initial stream finished.

#25556

Saw an update here on this issue, I did create a pull-request that was closed by admins with no proper reason identified other than cleanin up backlog.

The pull request has been verified as working and is in production (at Eletive).

I'm no longer working on it or for that client so if anyone else would like to pick up the ball on this one it would be great just to be able to contribute this to the community.
