Expose internal unique identifiers in the API when retrieving reports
Because we currently extract accounts through reports, we don't get the internal unique identifier and have to match on number and name. If the user re-names or re-numbers an account in Xero (and this is likely to happen to other entities) we lose the connection to the account stored in our system and the user potentially loses data.

update tracking category for PAID invoice via api
Since the operator has the ability to update any PAID invoice's tracking category and account code for any line items, then it should be also doable via API.
31 votesHey everyone, I know a few of you are keen for this one so I'm pleased to confirm work to edit paid invoices is currently in progress, and we're expecting to release next quarter. I'll update and close the thread once released.

Add page size/limit to paging GET requests
It would be useful to be able to specify the page size when executing paging requests for the various API GET resources. Currently, the page size is 100, but can't be changed. The issue is that 100 records can still be a long callout if that includes related information.
Being able to do something like:
/Invoices?page=1&pageSize=50Or similar would be handy!

Add a URL field to the CreditNote object to bring it in line with Invoice.
The CreditNote object has no URL field, unlike the Invoice object.
I suggest one is added which is clickable on browsing to the page for that credit note.

Get Journals by Account Type
I need to get all those Journals which involves a Bank account. (i.e. one of its JournalLines has an account of type Bank).
Note that If I get all journals using Journal API, it is very time consuming. I hope to use the Journal API in such a way so that it only returns those Journal which involve a bank.

Inventory items webhooks
Many thanks for adding Invoice/Contact webhooks. We'd love to get inventory items to be the next cab off the rank.
Syncing stock for tracked items is what we're trying to achieve. So if we could be told when inventory items have changed, specifically in terms of QuantityOnHand.

Apply same invoice due date logic like in the UI
When creating invoices via Xero UI, contact and organization default due date rules are applied, which is great!
But when creating invoices via API, due date field is left blank unless it's explicitly set in the API request. All this nice logic of applying contact and organization due date, in that order, is skipped for API created invoices, resulting in a rather inconsistent UX for end users.And to "use" that feature of Xero, each API application would need to reimplement same logic that Xero UI already has.
I think keeping parity between UI and API would be very good…
