Be able to opt-out of invoice contact summaries
For example, creating invoice payments return invoice contact summaries in responses.
If contact details are required on the client side the result is a subsequent API call to retrieve them.
In this case the overhead of the subsequent call is greater than the cost of returning the information in the invoice payment response. This issue is compounded due to Xero API's rate limiting on requests.
An optional parameter 'enableSummaries=false' would be nice.
I understand that for cases like retrieving multiple invoices that summaries are useful but for single result responses, such as invoice payments the current functionality seems inconsistent. The…

<CurrencyCode> in invoices endpoint is ignoring lower case currency code
When I send "<CurrencyCode>usd</CurrencyCode>" to a CAD base ledger (with USD as a valid currency) the invoice currency becomes CAD. But if I change it to "<CurrencyCode>USD</CurrencyCode>" then it works fine. (data is coming from Stripe, which uses lower case).
Xero should always capitalize the currency code.

Create Batch Deposits -
https://help.xero.com/au/BatchDepositCreate
Does the API support this specific function? Is there a functional issue as to why this is not supported, or just never requested/not enough votes??
Apologies if it is supported - I could not find it anywhere on developer pages etc.

Supply <Attachments> elements in standard endpoints when `page` is given
Currently, it seems that you need to make a separate call to get <Attachments>. Being able to get this supplied on the standard invoices/bank transactions/manual journals/credit notes endpoints when
page
is given would help lower the number of API calls without much increasing the amount of data sent.6 votes -

allow ItemID to be specified when adding line items
It seems to be possible to supply the ItemCode but not the ItemID. I guess the ID is unique for each item? It would be really great in my opinion if the API could be consistent and the ID field was always used to specify a join whenever you are creating or updating anything.
Consider the following use case:
A web app with integrations to xero to do all of the invoicing, and inventory price management. Contacts (users), orders (invoices) and products (items) are stored in the app, but also created in xero. The app then stores the xero id…

Enter budgets via the API. Both historical and current.
This would allow us to build tools to do bulk budget exports for multiple periods from our current system. (I think that budgets import might be coming through the user interface anyway, in which case this isn't really needed).

Make Receipt updatable via API
The documentation says:
PUT Receipts
The PUT method is similar to the POST Invoices method, however you can only create new receipts with this method.It would be great if I was able to update receipts with the PUT method.

Generate reports by using specific identifiers in the "reference field"
As a building business it would be nice to ascertain the costs of a specific build/client to ensure the company is on track with profit/loss per project.
When I started out in Xero, and when all purchases were been entered in as drafts, when a certain reference was entered, such as the client name or job number, a running total was always displayed as to how much was spent on a particular build/client.
Ironically once the purchases were approved and/or paid, upon typing the same specific reference, would no longer provide a tally or what was spent, to be paid…

use consistent response structures
The addition of reporting a contact's balances was a great addition, however I feel the response structure should be consistent, regardless of balances. Where any balances are $0, this should be reported as $0, instead of being removed. By removing the key, we are left only being able to test for the absence of data, which creates an assumptive logic.
I understand that removing keys for null values might be part of your api design (ie no email address entered doesn't return an empty <EmailAddress>, but technically, a customer always has a balance so there for the Balances data should…
