add an endpoint for BankStatements so we can read the bank feed through the API
We need to automatically recognize certain payments withing the daily bank feed statements and create overpayments on the respective client accounts.
The information is already available as the lines of the statements are available in the portal so it is just a matter of exposing it through the API.
Currently this is done by our accountant which takes a lot of his time for no good reason as this can easily be automated.2 votes -
IncludeOnline for files API
Currently there is no option to include the files to be sent in email to customer with object e.g. Invoice.
Attachments API has an option includeonline to specify if we want to send the attachments in the email to the customer.
Also there is an issue to include multiple files via the attachments API. I have added 2 files via the attachments API to invoice only one of them is showing as included online but other file need to be manually included via Xero GUI

Add Paging on Repeating Invoices Endpoint
Currently paging is not available on the repeating invoices API call. We have a client who has too many repeating invoices for Xero to return, and without paging there is nothing we can do to get the repeating invoices data out of Xero's API.

Different Contacts under the one company for example - Sales, Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Accounts receivable and the General Manager..
It is frustrating when i send statements or invoices and i have to go in and individually delete the sales emails and other general contact details. I have them all ticked to include in emails though as I need to send my invoices to accounts payable and the salesman but statements go to another accounts person . When we purchase from the same customer we have to send to accounts receivable. It would be great to have different Contacts so when i click send statements i dont have to delete the rest of the contacts.

Add Total Record Count to GET Request Responses
It would be useful to have a total record count in the response when executing GET requests against the Xero Accounting API, especially in those instances where paging is being used.
For example, a GET request for Invoices could return:
{
"Id": "xxx",
"Status": "OK",
"TotalRecords": 6721,
"Invoices": [
....
]
}The use case for this is if I have an application that wants to display invoices to the user (without data replicating into the app), I'd like to display those in a paginated list. But there's no way for the app to know how many pages of Xero…

Webhooks - support for Payments endpoint
Now that the Webhooks for Contacts and Invoices is in open beta please add support for the Payments endpoint as the next endpoint to be supported. Many of our customers need to be notified when a customer has paid an invoice and update their internal CRM systems. Would love to be able to do this without having to poll for new payments.

Allow case insensitive search on Item codes
Apparently there is an unique index on Item codes which is case insensitive, i.e. you can not create a different item with the same code with a different case. However the API doesn't allow case-insensitive search on item codes, which is really awkward. This is a big problem when you get an error when inserting a new item because of an earlier item with the same code but different case. It's very hard to find the original item in this case.

Be Able to get Contact Usual Payment Days
It would be good to be able to get the usual payment days number which is shown in Xero's contacts page through the API in order for displaying that data in in house software used to rate customers payments against their established payment terms.

Add page size/limit to paging GET requests
It would be useful to be able to specify the page size when executing paging requests for the various API GET resources. Currently, the page size is 100, but can't be changed. The issue is that 100 records can still be a long callout if that includes related information.
Being able to do something like:
/Invoices?page=1&pageSize=50Or similar would be handy!

Bank Statement Query-Click on searched transaction to enter details
'Upon searching for imported/feed bank transaction, to click on said found transaction to enter/create details/transaction & reconcile'.
I have a lot of US Dollars transactions that come through the credit card & bank account - I need to search for the AUD value before I can input it via the bank feed 'bank statement' tab. Many are once off suppliers, so no need to enter bills - esp as I dont get paperwork with AUD only USD. It would be great if I could then click on said found transaction to complete the process and reconcile. Even if it takes…2 votes -

Create an API for the Expenses by supplier report
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.

Add planned date when you create new purchase invoice
Add a 'planned date' box for when you create a new supplier invoice to save having to change screen (e.g payments are made 35 days after receipt of invoice or a particular day each week). Currently you have to change the screen to enter the planned date.

GET attachment from Expense Claims
GET attachment from Expense Claims
The current implementation of Expense claims will not allow you to retrieve any attachments made to a Receipt posted into an Expense Claim. We would like this fixed so we can retrieve attachments from within an Expense Claim based on the Receipt ID.40 votes -
make reporting api developer friendly
The Xero reporting api needs an overhaul to enable to report content in a format that makes it much easier to parse and retrieve data from it. The current way the data is represented requires custom parsers to be created at the consumer's end
