This is something that so many of our clients are asking for. Please add to "Planned".

I am surprised to find that this endpoint has not been available from day one, and even more surprising that a team of people at Xero have deemed it as not worthy to be a scheduled feature, but rather just not planned in at all.

This is a specific request from a client for whom we are building a system, and based on the comments below, it appears to be a much-sought-after feature. I would recommend the team reconsider their ruling on this.

Come on Xero! This is not a big ask, but such an important feature

I’m genuinely stunned that Xero has gone half a decade without giving API access to something as ordinary as the credit limit field. It’s the kind of information you’d assume would’ve been available from day one. What makes it even more absurd is seeing it labeled as “not planned,” as if this is some obscure niche request instead of a totally standard piece of account data. Trying to build integrations around gaps like this is just exasperating.

Hey Arya - where is this end point? I've searched the documentation and I can't find anything.. even in their API Explorer. Can you please give details? Thanks.

Xero - this is a huge demand from businesses - would be a great one to get in please.

Customer credit limits can be retrieved via an API by querying the relevant endpoint, typically requiring customer ID and authentication. The API response usually returns the credit limit, current usage, and available balance.

This really would help with efficiency of workflows between systems especially where custom development is involved. If we could alter the credit limit and credit hold status.

Why not planed we need to update this from or ERP system this makes not sense and seems trivial to add ?

Xero have responded after five years? (and marked as not planned?)

Credit limits are important for every businesses, why on earth wouldn't this be planned and why on earth does it take five years to respond to the top rated suggestion?

Honestly Xero, WTF? Please make this available via API.

This is a critical part of any financial system and accounts management? Credit limits are set for a reason and to not be able to programatically check a limit makes no sense - having used other accounting systems this is pretty much standard. Its not a big change. Given the number of comments does this not merit a rethink please ? This definitely needs focus - credit limit, available amt as a minimum please.

Hi Team,

I wanted to highlight an important point — having access to the customer's credit balance via the API would be extremely valuable for us. We utilize these credits in various scenarios, and being able to fetch this data directly would streamline our processes significantly.

I understand this might seem like a small change from our side, but even minor additions can have a big impact on how the API is used and integrated.

Thank you for understanding and considering this request. Looking forward to your thoughts.

same request, go vote :)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, will add huge value to your customers

"Not planned" is not a great response.

Looking at moving to SAGE as this is critical to my business

Please add this field as its a critical piece of data we need update from our system

Wasted so much time looking for an API call to an obvious, required feature. Four years and still no movement on this?

You're really going to make some poor soul have to login and manually enter each client credit limit and updates?

This is critical to our business. We are unable to transfer credit limits. Very Simple feature.

Please advise when this is getting sorted - major oversight not to have this.

Xero - please comment, i have heard conflicting advice and need to hear from you directly - is the credit limit being worked on so it will filter through to connected software?
