Allow Paging for Journals GET
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.

I also Second this Suggestion...It is very important for our integration to GET Journal data with pagination
Question: Why is GET Journals not allowed to paginate in the same way that is provided for all other Xero Endpoints?? -

I second this notion, especially around the filtering option. Our use case involves pulling data for a specific effective date period for the purposes of audits. Having to download data for all time is cumbersome and un-necessary. Filtering options based on JournalDate would meet our needs, however there's no reason why filtering could not be more robust than that.
