It seems a lot of people have troubles getting the account and API key information correct so here's how to do it.

1) The account name is your company account name, the one you type into your browser when you to go freshbooks. For instance, if your Freshbook URL is: mycompany.freshbooks.com, you would enter mycompany. It should NOT include "freshbooks.com". 

2) Your API key/Authentication Token can by found after logging into freshbooks by clicking on "My Account", then "Freshbooks API". This is NOT the same as the password you use to login to Freshbooks.
