Include ContactNumber in the response for GET CreditNotes
GET CreditNotes has the InvoiceNumber field but not the ContactNumber field. It would be quite nice to have both.

Make the journal narration visible to the API
Would like to be able to access the journal narration through the API. Currently you can just access the line item reference but this requires too much coding effort by our bookkeeper and as such most reference lines are blank. However, every journal/transaction has a narration so would be great to access this.

Tracking Summary Report with Account Groups and Tracking Categories
Xero is awesome for Financial data management and manipulations. Its API providing the extra strength to Xero for integrating Xero with other webapps. Of course Most of the APIs are in still Xero Development Phase, But we need an extensive API for getting the reports(at minimum Tracking Summary Report) to make the use of tracking summary data inside webapps.

Be able to change the ReportingCode on an Account
It is currently not possible to update the ReportingCode and ReportingCodeName on an Account via the API.
We would find it useful to correct discrepancies in the assigned reporting codes automatically via the API

Support BankTransaction.reference on GET request
According to BankTransaction documentation found at https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/banktransactions
Reference is currently supported on Receive and Spend transactions.
Reference Reference for the transaction. Only supported for SPEND and RECEIVE transactions.
Is there a reason why this is not supported?
When I create a BankTransaction through either Xero UI or API, reference is stored and shown on UI; however, it is not available through BankTransaction API.

Grant Read-Only API access please
For some integrations we want to only ever read from Xero. One great example is when we replicate a production Xero system into a test system. In those cases we NEVER want to write to production. Other cases are where clients only want data extracted from Xero.
This seems a simple ask - just disallow PUT, POST, and DELETE, and allow only GET.
Cheers,

Webhook payload update to decrease API calls
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 votes -

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

Provide Service account for machine to machine authentication

Similar to Google using OAuth 2.0 for Server to Server Applications

Display the AR/AP contact balance in API in both base currency and contact currency
Currently the API only displays the contact balance in base currency and NOT the contact default currency.
This makes it extremely difficult to confirm synchronisation drift between our systems through the current balance.
Please include two currencies in the AR/AP contact balance object.

Overpayments and Prepayments API
The "Paid from/into" field that is used to store the bank's name is not exposed in the Prepayment/Overpayment endpoints at this time.
Because of which I'm not able to fetch the 'Paid from' for Prepayments and 'Paid into' for Overpayment in API response.
If we will be able to fetch the "Paid from/into" field, then it will make our payments process quite easy because I'm working in Odoo and need to sync the overpayments and prepayments.

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.
