invoice(s) PUT addresses/phones elements should not be mandatory
Xero doesn't require addresses & phone(s) fields when creating a contact, why are they neccessary via the API ? For external systems using Xero as the data source of Customers where they are read only in the external system the schema should be changed so those fields are non-mandatory
1 voteInvoices and all our endpoints will be be more flexible in our next API update – lots of elements will be optional – a developer preview release will be available during the week of 7-11 Sept 09

Additional GET /invoices Request Parameters
It would be really handy if the GET /invoices request also accepted the optional parameters contactID and contactNumber to retrieve invoices created for a specific contact. This extends the provious contact id request submitted by phaines.

Compress responses (Gzip)
Responses from the API should be compressed (e.g. gzipped) as XML is very verbose and responds well to being compressed.
This should be a simple setting change within IIS.
I haven't tried my application with the production system so it might already be enabled there, but this would also help in the test system.
As the server will only respond with compressed content if the client request says it supports it, this feature shouldn't break anyone's existing code.
1 voteThis is now the default response

Access additional fields in the contacts record
When creating/updating/reading contacts have the ability to access the additional fields that exist (ABN, bank account details, etc).
Would also be good if we could create custom fields attached to each contact or to have a generic "notes/comments" field that we could dump data (preferably HTML) into.
A logical extension to this would be the ability to reade/write the notes/history section of each contact.
2 votesContact details returned will be more comprehensive in our next API update – a developer preview release will be available during the week of 7-11 Sept 09
Update – 24 Sept 09 – I’ve created another request for the additional fields – sorry I’m missed this when setting this issue as complete

allow fine grained permissions
I'd like to be able to generate multiple API keys for myself, but be able to control the permissions for each of these keys.
For example:
I do some subcontracting to a company and do timesheets for them each month. I then invoice them each month with those timesheet numbers as each line item on the invoice. I'm currently modifying their timesheeting system (which I wrote anyway) so that it'll generate the invoice for me in Xero, it would be nice to be able to PUT an invoice but not allow anyone else in the company to do any GETs…33 votesYou can now set more fine grained permissions for your app using scopes in OAuth 2.0

Add read-only access to accounting numbers for use in other systems
I have an internal system that handles all the other metrics for our business, but the financial data is missing.
We could either hand-enter the necessary data or build some sort of import functionality, but it would be best to query Xero directly so I can use that data in my internal system.
Thanks for listening!

Allow posting to bank accounts via the API
All that is required is that the Invoice API be changed to allow posting to the bank accounts. Then it will serve as a general transaction import function.

add invoice templating system
similar to Xero for Office but online. There are many international users who will love to have invoices in their own language.
7 votesIn the December 2010 release of Xero, we added a feature for users to define custom branding themes using .docx invoice templates. These templates are used to generate PDFs of invoices and statements. These docx invoice templates can use any language you choose.
See http://blog.xero.com/2010/12/design-your-own-invoices/ for more informaiton.
The Xero API has since been enhanced to allow invoices to be created, referencing different branding themes. Once an invoice has been created, the PDF of the invoice can be downloaded via the API.
See http://developer.xero.com/api-overview/http-get/ and http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/invoices/ for more information.

Set up cost centres
I would really like to see cost centres being set up so that we can track the spending of various departments in common account codes such as Printing etc. I can;t move several clients over due to that and there' no reason to use workflow max or similar as it is just a costing system

Include contact id on GET /invoices
When retrieving invoices using the GET /invoices method the contact portion does not contain the Xero contact ID or contact Code therefore an additional series of GET /invoice/invoiceID method calls are required to establish the contact.
6 votesWe will return the ContactID in our next API update – a developer preview release will be available during the week of 7-11 Sept 09.
The ContactID is the recommended identifier to store in your system for a Xero contact. -

Service to calculate Tax on AR invoice
Would help to have a service call where an invoice can be sent with no tax details, and Xero calculates the tax and returns it - without saving it in the Xero org. This makes it easier for other applications to leverage our tax calculation engine and ensure consistency in the calculation used.
