  2. Bank Transfers and Batch Payments both require Pagination. They can both allow customers to store more data that can be returned in a single result (i.e. API fails to complete). If-Modified-Since is not sufficient and there are no reliable optimised Where clauses that can be used to reliably bring back all data.

  3. Currently, "createdByMyApp" only works if "true" is provided, but has no functionality for "false". This is required to retrieve invoices that have not been created through the API.

  4. If registered assets can calculate depreciation after setting it up, can we not also have automatically calculated interest on loan accounts?

  5. We develop custom solutions/integrations for clients using Xero. One of the biggest issues we have is that if we develop an App for a Client; we connect their Xero account to the Production version of the App. However, once we do that, we don't have a TEST environment in Xero to test changes end-to-end.

    It would be great to have a Sandbox account / test account that could be used to test like-for-like on Staging vs Production.

    (ie for payments, we have a test payment gateway and a live payment gateway)

    This would help to ensure we can test changes…

  6. .NET SDK has removed "JOBKEEPER" as an Allowance item. However, when retrieving Pay Items, an archived item with that type is retrieved, meaning the retrieval of pay items fails via the SDK.
    Should be able to filter out archived items when retrieving data.

  8. The Projects endpoint of the Xero Projects API does not include the OpenDate and ClosedDate as fields.

    These are useful for users to report with and should be included.

  11. It would be great to support compression e.g. gzip for API response payloads. Currently including the Accept-Encoding header within requests does not result in any resource size reduction.

  12. We are trying to sync customer's Tasks across Xero Projects, currently we have to poll for all Tasks on each Project. Some customers are using 200+ 'active' (state= INPROGRESS) projects, however they are only adding 5-10 Tasks a day spread across these projects.

    If we were able to query the /projects endpoint with a 'If-Modified-Since' parameter (or header) and the result only contained projects either updated direct or those that had associated Tasks added/edited, then we would only need to call /projects/:id/tasks for those ProjectId's, likewise if this endpoint also could be queried with If-Modified-Since then only those new Tasks…

  13. It appears that there are two key things missing from the current version of the Xero API:

    The Tables part of the API does not currently have a connection to the Nominal Ledger (Account) Transactions

    The Reports part of the API connects to several of the standard reports, but doesn’t connect to the Account Transactions report.

    Either of these would allow a full list of transactions to be accessed via the API.

  14. Could the front-end devs please add an autocomplete=off attribute to Xero's main global search input field like so:

    <input type="text" id="queryInput" value="xe" autocomplete="off">

    The browser's native suggestion dropdown covers the Xero results, which is usually blocking the item you actually want to click on.

  16. Why Office 365 backup? Well, to put it simply, taking initiatives necessary to secure important organizational information is important to the survival of any organization. Attackers often target the information that is most sensitive and would fetch them the highest ransom. If recent trends and researches on these trends are anything to go by then these attacks are getting more sophisticated with each passing day.

    The best way to protect the data most important to you is to be in complete control of it yourself. EdbMails Office 365 backup is a one stop solution that not only helps you create…

  17. Currently only 4 fields are supported through the API for Bank Transfers transactions – Amount, From Bank Account, To Bank Account & Date.

    It would be great if the remaining fields that are available via Xero's UI could also be supported in the API:
    API - namely:
    - From Account: Accounts Export Branch
    - To Account: Accounts Export Branch
    - Reference
    - 2 Amount fields (if From & To bank accounts are in different - currencies).
