books.export
Owner or office: one month (or from and to) of the shop's money as a ZIP for a bookkeeper or for QuickBooks Online by hand: a ledger CSV of every invoice, void, payment, refund, fee and payout, QuickBooks Online invoice import files, and QuickBooks Online bank upload files for a clearing account. Use this only when the shop has no agent QuickBooks sync; the sync (sync.changes) is the main way. The same period gives the same file and sha256 every time. You get download_url (60 minutes, 5 downloads; anyone with the link can download, so do not share it) or, with delivery inline, zip_base64 up to 5 MB.

When to use it
If your agent syncs QuickBooks, use the sync above; it keeps every invoice, payment and fee matched. books.export is the fallback for a bookkeeper or for a shop that imports by hand: pick a month (or from and to) and you get one ZIP with a ledger CSV of every invoice, void, payment, refund, fee and payout, QuickBooks Online invoice import files and QuickBooks Online bank upload files for a clearing account, plus a README that says how to import each one.
