Notify URL When Stuff Changes in Xero - Webhooks
I'm requesting "web hooks" for the Xero API.
Here's how they work: Customer provides a URL (http://myserver.com/xero/changed) to Xero, and when something is changed, Xero notifies that URL, perhaps indicating which records have changed.
The Xero API provides methods that you can query and compare with previous results to see what has changed. However, this is not performant for large data sets, and detecting changes involves a lot of code.
The competition has it - web hooks are supported by QuickBooks. Let's get them in Xero - it's a superior product in every other way.
397 votesWe’re happy to announce that the invoice webhooks work has been completed! We now support both invoice and contact events.
We know there are lots of other events in Xero that would be useful to you as webhooks. To help us prioritise which ones to focus on next, please create separate suggestions and vote on the ones you’d like to see us implement. -
PUT/POST tracking categories and options
Be able to create tracking options via the API. Also when creating invoices via the API allow the creation of tracking options within Xero's existing tracking groups if they don't exist.
58 votesThe ability to delete tracking categories and tracking category options was released today: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/v2-release-notes/#2.98
This means the API now supports the full range of tracking category functionality.

Idempotent requests
At the moment, its rather difficult to recover from a network interruption that happens when you send the request to Xero API, and you loose the connection before you receive the response from Xero. There is a fair number of reasons why this could happen at any time.
In such a situation you really have no way of knowing if your request was even sent fully, or if it was received by Xero, nor what was Xero's response.This is not specific to Xero, as all APIs out there have this same problem, as its simply how the web works.

Reports By Tracking Categories
Retrieve reports such as P&L, trial balance & budget by tracking category.
Our customers have requested for the ability to import their tracking categories from Xero into our program for reporting purposes. Any idea when the API will support this?
(edited by Xero staff for clarity)
25 votesThanks for your votes everyone. We have released the ability to retrieve the P&L and balance sheet reports by tracking today: http://blog.xero.com/developer/v2-release-notes/
While budgets by budget (tracking) is available within the main Xero application, we were unable to fit that into this release – we have a new uservoice request thread if you still want to see this feature (http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-api/suggestions/3267328-budget-summary-report-by-budget) but we hope most of you will find the above sufficient.

Paging Feature for BankTransactions
Expanding the paging feature (currently only available for Contacts, Journals and Invoices) to other endpoints in particular BankTransactions would create huge functionality and alleviate the API call limits.
15 votesWe are please to confirm that the BankTransactions endpoint now supports paging: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/BankTransactions/#Paging
Work is underway to provide paging on the manual journals endpoint in the near future.

Be able to overide a currency rate for an invoice raised in a foreign currency
In the app you can override the currency rate with your own. Would be great to do this with invoices generated via the API as I get my rates from another provider (ie. not XE)

Allow posting to bank accounts via the API
All that is required is that the Invoice API be changed to allow posting to the bank accounts. Then it will serve as a general transaction import function.

Notify via email when webhooks is disabled automatically
The custom webhooks are disabled automatically if there was not a successful response from the destination for 24 hours. There is no notification when this has happened and to check this we need to go to the webhooks page and then manually enable it and re-send the ITR.
There could be email notifications sent when the webhook is disabled.6 votesThanks for your patience.
We've completed this piece of work.
Please see the Public Docs for further information:

Automatic reconciliation of Payroll to General Ledger
Sometimes clients amend a payrun but forget to replace the Bill Payable for that payrun in the GL.
This can result in discrepancies between wages, PAYG, super (and other) and the GL reports.
Would be nice to automate some of this checking, even highlight any months (or specific bills) that did not match payroil1 votePayroll GL integration has been completed, you can check out more details here: https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/3391087

be able to filter getAccounts depending on type of request
Would be nice to only show those accounts that are valid for a particular purpose.e.g entering an Accounts Receivable invoice , entering an Accounts Payable invoice rather than listing all accounts. Filtering on a specific type maybe useful as well. e.g. Assets, Liabilities
1 voteThe API V2 GET Accounts endpoint allows the use of where clauses for this type of function.
