Provide Non-Crippled Access to Invoice URL via the API
After waiting for years for the ability to access the Invoice URL via the API, it was unfortunately provided in a completely crippled manner.
What should have happened is that the Invoice URL simply be provided along with the rest of the Invoice data through the paging API.
Instead, it is provided on a per-invoice basis, requiring the use of an API call for every URL retrieved. Given the shockingly small limit to API calls, this makes this non-workable.
Your competition, QuickBooks Online, allows 500 calls per MINUTE, compared to Xero's 1000 per DAY. If you had their API limits…

Allow Bulk allocations via API
Right now, if we want to allocate multiple invoices to CreditNotes, the only possible way is to have an API call for individual Allocation.
It would be very helpful if we could have a bulk Allocation API available. Where all the allocations can be made (One to Many or Many to Many) in a single API call.

Allow third party apps to plug into the Xero interface
If the Xero interface could be configured to display data from and interact with the apps third party developers are creating similar to the way Facebook applications work inside their platform
34 votesIt is certainly a nice idea in a lot of ways, and Jesse’s use case example is good one.
On the other side, allowing 3rd party applications plug into the core Xero application present some quite major security implications. The data we hold on behalf of our customers is considered highly sensitive by us and we ensure we have bank level security across all aspects of our application.
Second to that, we are a design lead and focused company – we want our software to be really easy to use and remain simple and intuitive, so allowing 3rd parties to introduce interface elements into Xero would be something we would need to carefully plan for.
With this in mind, it would be quite an onerous task for us to implement a secure framework that would allow 3rd party applications to interface within Xero, in a sensible way that does not…

Add Total Record Count to GET Request Responses
It would be useful to have a total record count in the response when executing GET requests against the Xero Accounting API, especially in those instances where paging is being used.
For example, a GET request for Invoices could return:
{
"Id": "xxx",
"Status": "OK",
"TotalRecords": 6721,
"Invoices": [
....
]
}The use case for this is if I have an application that wants to display invoices to the user (without data replicating into the app), I'd like to display those in a paginated list. But there's no way for the app to know how many pages of Xero…

Create Bank Rule's for Bank Transfers
Add a 3rd option for Bank Rules.
Allow for transferring to a specified account.EG: I transfer money from my PayPal to my main account only.
OR
EG: I transfer money from my Skrill account to my main account only.And would like these to be reconciled even easer with automated bank rules.
30 votesIt sounds like this is a request for the core Xero product and not the API. As such I’m closing this particular request.
Please add your general Xero requests here: https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/104451
The good news is that bank rules for bank transfers is being worked on currently! Subscribe to that thread for updates.

Please update your Reporting APIs w/ an option to get V2 [new] Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss including the default custom layout.
It is extremely frustrating that the report that comes from the API often in no way resembles the report that the Xero end-user actually uses via the UI, to the point that they don't even recognize it. They invested a lot of time making a custom layout with groups, rules, etc and the result is a pretty fantastic presentation of their financials, but all that work just gets thrown out when a 3rd party application collects the…

Expose Check Number(s) to API
Today, we use another system for writting checks and we need to add the check information to Xero.
The API allows us to create an invoice for the check and then upload the invoice. However, the API does not allow us to associate a bank account and then check number with the payment of the invoice.
I know that there is some reason that this the case. There could be an instance where a user tries to associate a previously used check number to the invoice payment. If Xero were to throw a blanket error (eg, "Some of the transactions…

Query exchange rate through the API
The exchange rates are automatically calculated in Xero and not available for query. I want to use the same exchange rates in a third-party software (otherwise the reported money amounts will not match), so I need a way to query the exchange rates that were valid on a certain invoice date.
26 votesOur agreements with our FX provider prevent us from offering a general API endpoint for historical exchange rates.
However, you can access the precise rate used for any transaction directly. When you retrieve a multicurrency invoice, the CurrencyRate field contains the exact rate that was applied, ensuring you can match your financial reports exactly.
