Expose the new Expense feature via the API
Xero previously had an Expense Claims public API available (https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/ExpenseClaims)
However since 2018, a new Xero Expense product has replaced Expense Claims and any new organisation is forced on the new expense product. This new expense product currently has no available API.
This is a regression as the previous API allowed developers to build integration with the Xero's expense features, however it is now not possible anymore.
There is an existing trello card for this feature however I do not understand why it is still in the "nice to have" column although the number of votes is higher…

update repeating invoices when an inventory item price is updated
Currently when an inventory item's price has been updated, the updated pricing does not automatically apply to repeating invoices. Would love for an option to update be available.

Query exchange rate through the API
The exchange rates are automatically calculated in Xero and not available for query. I want to use the same exchange rates in a third-party software (otherwise the reported money amounts will not match), so I need a way to query the exchange rates that were valid on a certain invoice date.

Contact Bank Details (all fields) to be able to be updated via API
At the moment, contact bank details fields need to be updated through the front-end UI, only the BSB and Account number can be updated via API. Just wondering if Xero can add all fields to the Update contact details API function?
"BatchPayments": {
"BankAccountNumber": "0000007",
"BankAccountName": "XXXXX",
"Details": "SQUAD",
"Code": "",
"Reference": ""

Include pagination for inventory items
Currently the GET /Items API method does not support any pagination request parameters.
This implies that we have to get all Items in one API call if we want to read all items, for instance during an initial historical sync.
This is highly inefficient and will lead to issues for Xero accounts having a lot of items.Adding pagination parameters will help to reduce the payload returned by this API method, which I believe to be in the interest of both Xero and the Xero API users ...
Thanks in advance for looking into this.

Provide API for retrieving Uncoded Statement Lines
Bank Reconciliation is necessarility a collaborative effort when multiple people have company cards and not everyone is great at uploading their statements.
We have been using a Python mechanize script to scrape xero and download uncoded statement lines, recognise transactions by the last 4 digits of the card numbers, and post that to slack to nag the respective company card holders, and that's been working ok for the past year...
We know how difficult it can be to change your minds on the necessity of API endpoints like bank statement line import and reconciliation via the API, or adding improvements…

Get mapping of companies with all embedded integrations
Suppose, I have more than 500 companies to manage and each one uses different integrations eg: routable, adp, toast, square etc. How can I see which company is associated with how many integrations. I want to have a report or api that can provide me that information.
Otherwise, there might be a possibility that for example: "Company A" in Xero might accidently or by human error be connected to "Company C" in routable instead of "Company A". Having some kind of metric can help in auditing/correcting such things else it could be a recipe for disaster.

Get-BalanceSheet API for reporting should spit out data as of the input date parameter
I've been working with GetBalanceSheet reporting api, I realized while fetching data for all dates and found out that it is returning data pointing to the last date of the month in the input date.
Example:
Get-Balancesheet API
date: 10/24/2021 (mm/dd/yyyy)API returns data as of 10/31/2021 instead of 10/24/2021
Get-IncomeStatement does not have this issue.

Provide superannuation payment data through the API
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.

create new endpoint for "Copy to Bill"
there's an article for "Creating Bills from Purchase Orders" (https://central.xero.com/s/article/Creating-bills-from-purchase-orders), however I can't find endpoint for this action in accounting API (https://xeroapi.github.io/xero-node/accounting/index.html#api-Accounting).
Update the status using updatePurchaseOrder (https://xeroapi.github.io/xero-node/accounting/index.html#api-Accounting-updatePurchaseOrder) won't let user create a bill in xero by default.
Fyi, this is my case detail : (https://central.xero.com/s/case?caseId=5003m00001DLY6B)

add Contacts as an element to GET Journals
This would allow much greater financial reporting flexibility. Like Tracking Categories, not all Journals have Contacts. Your new Xero report, P&Ls by Contact, leads me to believe the Xero data structure may support this. Thank you!

I really like Xero - but get frustrated that I have to type each invoice number in the payments schedule -
It would be great if the reference populated into one of the payment fields - ref or Code so the Supplier knows exactly what we have paid for - and allocates our payment as we intended.
The Accredo package did it - all part of package.2 votes -
Allow Invoice only users to use the API
As seen on this link: https://developer.xero.com/faq/permissions#user-permissions , currently only standard users can use the API, however, this makes no sense for my use case, and this is probably the same for other people.
Right now I'm trying to build an app that will automatically create invoices and email them to the contacts, however, I do not want to connect a standard full user to my application, as the returned access token will have full access to all my banking account statements whereas all I need I to create a Sales Invoice, which could be done with a "Sales Invoice only"…

Allow POST call on SentToContact for Credit Notes
Sent to Contact on credit notes is read only right now.
Please allow us to do a POST call to this so we can mark sent to contact true as needed

Allow querying the MFA state for users via the API
It's great that xero supports MFA and I would like to query which users have MFA enabled (or more importantly which don't) and import into our SOC so we can ensure that all accounts are protected.
Given how big a target a finance platform like Xero is for business email compromise and phishing scenarios and how critical MFA is in preventing these attacks - being able to collect this information and easily catch unprotected accounts is very useful.
