  2. Hi there,

    Currently, there is no way to determine via the API if a payment has an attachment. We are able to retrieve any attachments via using the BankTransactions endpoint (using the payment ID).

    For completeness, we need to be able to have the HasAttachment attribute accessible when returning a list of payments - the only way to do this currently is to retrieve the BankStatements/ID/Attachments endpoint for EVERY single payment - which is a pretty big use of resources.

    Alternatively (a breaking change) - can we either be able to retrieve Payments via the BankTransactions end point. Adding "HasAttachments"…

  3. You've already created an app on Zapier, well done. But the app is very limited (Invoices, etc). Please add more object types. If most of your object types were there, we could integrate much easier with Xero. And Xero's technical cred would increase dramatically if the ease of moving Journals, Payments, etc were simply creating new Zaps.

  4. I'm writing to suggest a valuable improvement to the Xero API: the ability to directly identify which invoices are linked to projects.

    While I've explored the existing endpoints for both invoices and projects, I haven't found a clear way to establish this relationship through the API data itself.

    Currently, it's challenging to determine which invoice line items are assigned to specific projects. This functionality would be highly beneficial for streamlining workflows and gaining deeper insights into project profitability.

  5. We would like xero to build an API to extract the report called "Expenses by supplier". Currently to extract spend by supplier we have to extract all payments and bills and build this back up ourselves.

  8. There are currently endpoints for adding time logging to Xero, but not for interacting with the running timers.

    It would be really helpful to be able to do this, so that I (and others) could have external tools (in my case a StreamDeck) able to start and stop timers.

    I would also like to be able to request information on what the timer is currently on in order to get live feedback.

  9. It would be great to have an budget upload API.
    I'm using G-Accon to push data in Xero, it would be great to be able to push budgets too.
    Currently, Xero's budget manager is a bit rigid in its layout. However with G-Accon I could use a custom layout, or for example narrow down for a departmental budget, and then push to Xero.

  10. Provide superannuation payments data through an API - to represent what is available in the superannuation payments report currently.

    This would also need an employee Id - currently only shows the employee name.

  11. I would love to be able to send a remittance advice via API. There are a couple of scenarios where this is would be useful:
    1. Monitoring the bank feed for reconciled payments and sending the Remittance ass appropriate
    2. Generating a payment file from a list of invoices that are being paid and sending the remittance as appropriate

  12. So we collect a lot of prepayments in our work, and those require a customized branding theme to act as a receipt as they are unlike the regular invoice payments.

    Hopefully in future, there will be a way to apply a branding theme to a specific PrepaymentID via the API too.

    Thanks!

  13. I'd like to build an automation to enter various comments (of my choosing) in the discuss tab in Xero depending upon what the AI finds in the transaction. The current APIs don't allow for comments to be entered in the discuss tab in Xero.

  14. This is not a suggestion is a petition.

    The payload of the organisation used to bring the email set up in the organisation itself, until 1 week ago that broke my integration,
    My integration serves invoices to the Costa Rican Government IRS and is broken at the moment, had to set up a default/dummy email on the part of the invoice that says who emits the Invoice and there will be issues with people not accepting Invoices due to the default email.

    The customers of my customer will get their Invoices not accepted and those are >10k Invoices.

  16. Hi Team,
    Can you please provide an API to get Login History of all users.

    The data is already available in Xero's Dashboard but there is no API associated for the same.

    It will help us to track our users in more better way.

  18. Working for an organization currently migrating from MYOB to Xero - their decision.

    Replicating existing custom application is problematic due to apparent glaring deficiencies in the Xero API compared to MYOB, despite Xero's age advantage.

    An example is MYOB's Account Activity Summary End-Point - called AccountRegister - which lists activity by account by month.

    This end-point allows for a fast and simple process to compare Budget values to Actual values, without being forced to trawl through all the transactions, and all of the issues that can cause that to be incorrect.

    It seems inconceivable that such a basic end-point is…
