for the purpose of knowing if a customer have overdue balances - so would need to return current balance and overdue amount.

Store supplier invoices with the invoice transaction in xero. Doubles as a storage system and makes retrieval much easier. Worth paying the upper price plan for

I'm requesting "web hooks" for the Xero API.

Here's how they work: Customer provides a URL (http://myserver.com/xero/changed) to Xero, and when something is changed, Xero notifies that URL, perhaps indicating which records have changed.

The Xero API provides methods that you can query and compare with previous results to see what has changed. However, this is not performant for large data sets, and detecting changes involves a lot of code.

The competition has it - web hooks are supported by QuickBooks. Let's get them in Xero - it's a superior product in every other way.

Store encrypted credit cards for customers and be able to initiate (through the invoice API) credit card payment via any credit card processor's API. Paypal Web Payments Pro would be good out of the box but ideally would be set up to work with most standard APIs.

I have an internal system that handles all the other metrics for our business, but the financial data is missing.

We could either hand-enter the necessary data or build some sort of import functionality, but it would be best to query Xero directly so I can use that data in my internal system.

Thanks for listening!

Be able to create and manage repeating invoices (http://help.xero.com/#Accounts_RepeatingInvoice) via the API.

For customers who's payment gateway settles the days total takings into your bank account in one lump sum at the end of the day, making single payment against single invoices via API is no good. It would be great to be able to recieve a payment to a bank account and split that payment to be applied against multiple invoices.

It is a must have for global companies whose banks' transaction info doesn't yet feed into xero

Have the ability get get payments via the PaymentID and also create payments via POST

Retrieve reports such as P&L, trial balance & budget by tracking category.

Our customers have requested for the ability to import their tracking categories from Xero into our program for reporting purposes. Any idea when the API will support this?

If the Xero interface could be configured to display data from and interact with the apps third party developers are creating similar to the way Facebook applications work inside their platform

Expose invoice History & Notes through the API

there are some situations where it's useful to add a note to an invoice that's include in the invoice PDF. e.g a message about the reverse charge VAT treatment for EC customers. I would guess there's more exceptions like this where a note would be useful.

E-mailing updates to receivable accounts about their payments via the API would be very useful. Via the web interface, this is possible by sending a statement.

It would be great to have api access to payroll functions so that we can calculate PAYE and then create payroll entries automatically.

Add the ability to mark invoices as sent via the API.

GET invoices currently only shows AmountCredited but not the specific detail. GET CreditNotes doesn't show which invoice the credit was applied to
