  1. 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…

  2. Using Projects would be a great solution for my company, but without the ability to assign billable expenses to Projects via the API, they are not useful to us.

  3. Ability to assign items to a project is currently missing in the API, which makes Projects API totally useless to us.

  5. We use Xero Invoice Webhook to create the electronic invoices needed to comply with Argentina tax laws.

    We have discovered some updates that could be made to the invoice webhook in order to dramatically decrease the API calls we send to Xero (to get the invoices details).I think this updates will also benefit the implementation of e-invoice in USA, AU and NZ.

    The two updates are very simple. Just add to the invoice webhook payload the following data:
    1 -invoice type (in order to avoid API call for bills)
    2- nvoice status (in order to avoid API calls for draft…

  7. Lots of business have multiple Shopify stores, buy at present we can only use one feed from one shop.
    This means we still have to manually input data from one store and can't upscale using the system.
    I am sure there are many other retailers with a similar problem.

  8. When a contact is created in Xero it is not until after an invoice has been created that it gets converted to a customer (or supplier). Which is expected.

    However when the "If-Modified-Since" filter is used on the GET Contacts endpoint where the "If-Modified-Since" date is after the contact is created but before the conatct as made into a supplier (i.e. after the isCustomer or isSuppler flag flips from false to true in the body of the Contact response) then the contact is not returned in the response.

    I sugget a change that when a contact is converted to a…

  9. Be able to filter by fields inside an object which has lists. Such as Invoice's Line Items.
    These fields contain important information such as tracking category, amounts, totals which would be a good functionality if one is able to filter using these information so to create more detailed reports

  10. Can you rewrite logic about ValidationException handling?
    For example, if several invoices will be posted to Xero and one cause validation error, no way to understand which invoice caused the error.

    Xero.Api.Infrastructure.Http.XeroHttpClient -> HandleErrors:

    var data = JsonMapper.From<ApiException>(response.Body);

    Here error response provides detailed information about who and why caused the errors.
    But during deserialization it just takes all validation messages and saves them to array without any other really important information.

  11. My client need to add total discount on entire invoice rather than giving discount on each item.
    This would be great if we have such option.

  12. The documentation says:

    PUT Receipts
    The PUT method is similar to the POST Invoices method, however you can only create new receipts with this method.

    It would be great if I was able to update receipts with the PUT method.

  13. The Invoices endpoint in particular (and many others in general), do not include the TrackingOptionID in the data set. Instead, they generally provide only the Name, Option and TrackingCategoryID.

    It is really important for being able to use "joins" on the data to incl;ude the TrackingOptionID .

  15. It is very important to add an API that would allow us to pull the reconciliation data in order to connect it to our customized platform where we can add more AI logic which will make reconciliation much faster and easier.
    We can pull all bills and invoices, and it would be great if we can integrate the reconciliation of Xero in order. this way our developers can implement the logic that works for our business

  16. 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.

  17. Please consider adding Paging for the Journals GET.

    Journals represent a considerable size of data when extracting for e.g. a full financial year.

    Alternative solution could be filtering options.
    It would be beneficial to be able to either FILTER for a range of data or PAGE the data (for timely returns from the web service).

    The modified-since and offset options only allow for smaller, recent datasets, not for smaller ranges of data from for e.g. the previous year.

    Eg.
    Extract Journals for April 2015.

  20. I have spent the past couple of weeks building a pretty hefty integration for a client to integrate their Salesforce platform with Xero.

    I have now hit an issue as the client wants to specify a String field to be pushed as the reference... This was not an issue with the Invoices as we used the URL field to define what Salesforce record needs to be updated form the API response.

    This would be a very good thing for developers to have a specific "External Id" field so clients can do what they like and we have one for ourselves!
