  3. expose organization details via API

    A application that I am working with needs organizational details after connecting to xero, Most of the info we need is available, but several fields exist in the Organization that are not yet exposed via API

    Can we get APIs exposed for Description and Email Address?

    Also, logo might be nice too if possible.

  5. 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. add Spree to your add-on market place

    We use Spree as our shopping cart, so hooking that up to Xero would have us dancing with joy!

  7. Bring back Xero Personal

    I have previously used Xero personal and I have never found anything that I would rather use. I miss it and would love for you to bring it back to all the people who love to be organised but don't own a business.

  8. Add the ability to filter by Updated Date on Files API

    This should be similar to the Modified After parameter for invoice requests. The UpdatedDateUTC field is available int the body of the file response and users would like the ability to filter on this.

    This is in lieu of webhooks notifying users of the file API of changes, which is a separate requested feature.

  9. Add ability to delete Attachments

    Using an A/R Invoice as an example, at the moment you can upload a new attachment, retrieve a list of attachments and download attachments. I would like to have the ability to delete an attachment - for example you might have uploaded the wrong attachment, but you need to login to the main Xero website to be able to delete the attachment.

  10. Add ability to delete a ContactGroup

    I can create a new ContactGroup through the API yet I cannot delete that group?

    The documentation states "The DELETE method is used to remove a contact from a contact group or remove all contacts from a contact group."

    Neither of which I want. I want to remove the entire ContactGroup from existing.

  11. Add Delivery Address and Instruction to the Company API Endpoint

    Company Address that is selected during PO creation in Xero contains Phone number and Instructions. These parameters are not returned when we are pulling Company with addresses via API.

    We'd appreciate id this could be fixed.

  12. Request multiple ManualJournalIDs with a single call

    We have over 100k Journals. If something changes, I may need to look at a few hundred ManualJournalIDs on Xero. Right now, I have to either page through 100,000 at 100 per page (takes about 4 hours), OR request them one at a time.

    It would be great if there was some way to pass a list of up to 100 ManualJournalIDs at a time to Xero, and get the details for them.

  13. Identify which Bills are associated which which task

    When you associate a line item with a task, it is then an expense on that task. It would be useful to be able to query the task to retrieve information about the expenses.
    You will then be able to get an end to end of bill coming in to invoice going out charging for that bill.

  14. API Health Check

    With Microservices now being all the rage, applications consuming Xero APIs need to be able to deal with their availability/non-availability. A "health-check" similar to the Java Microprofile Health service (see https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-health) would support to enabling/disablng functionality related to Xero APIs based on the result these "health-checks". As a result user interfaces could enable or suppress functionality that requires the use of Xero APIs depending on these health-checks.

  19. Reconciling an existing payment with an allocated invoice

    So, I have an invoice with its payment but it's set as unreconciled I'd like to update that payment and set it to reconciled but i get the error: "Message": "Payments against invoices or credit notes cannot be updated."
    Is there anyway i can reconcile this invoice and payment via API?

  20. Allow Batch Payments API for Multiple Currencies

    The API guidelines state that you can only send a batch payment in the currency of your account. E.g. if your account is in GBP, then Batch Payments can only be in GBP, even if you have a multi-currency account like we do.

    We'd like to propose allowing Batch Payments if the transaction currency and the bank account currency are the same.

    E.g. You have a home currency of GBP, but you can create batch in USD, if the bank account is in USD, and the invoices being paid are also in USD.

    Just a suggestion.
