Bookkeeping with FreshBooks API in Python

# Overview
In this lesson, we’ll add some items to our FreshBooks account so we can create invoices and payments to the client. We’ll see the following endpoints:
- Create an item: `{base_url}/accounting/account/{ACCOUNT_ID}/items/items`
- Update an item: `{base_url}/accounting/account/{ACCOUNT_ID}/items/items/{ITEM_ID}`


To perform different operations on items using FreshBooks API, our application needs to have `user:billable_items:read` and `user:billable_items:write` permissions.

# Create an item
This section describes how to create a new item in our FreshBooks account. To create a new item, we use the  `{base_url}/accounting/account/{ACCOUNT_ID}/items/items`. endpoint. This endpoint uses an HTTP `POST` request.
## Request parameters
The `payload` object takes an `item` object that has information associated with that item. Let's see some of the fields of the `item` object in the table below:
