  1. Major drawback of Xero Oauth2 is that the 'Client Credentials Flow' is not supported. This makes it impossible to implement server-side applications to interact with Xero because there is no user interaction at all. Lot of people have been complaining about this, and it's shocking that it is still not supported in May 2021!

  2. If I set a default Branding Theme for a Contact in Xero, that selection is not honoured when I create an invoice in the API and don't include a BrandingThemeID

  3. Be able to differentiate invoices created due to repeating invoices and stand alone invoices.

    I checked out the elements of Invoice (https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/invoices).
    I was not able to find a element which gives me this relation.

    I think , A new element having the 'Repeating Invoice Id' data would help me. Can this be included ?

  4. It is great that the Quote API is now available, however it would also be great if we could have an endpoint to download the PDF of the quote just like we can for an invoice.

    For API integrations it allows single click download via the API without the user needing to go into Xero and manually download it.

  6. Xero has a good SSL configuration on the main app (A+ on SSL labs) but the api endpoint running older and weaker encyrption.

    It appears to have some kind of TLS 1.2 support enabled but it drops after the initial hand shake which means that TLS 1.2 needs to be excluded as an option when negotitaing connections. Annoying having to set this up only for Xero.

  7. I would like to be able to create quotes from within the Xero Web interface for my customers which could then be converted into an invoice if the customer accepts the quote.

    Just like you can currently create purchase orders and convert them into bills once the goods have been received.

  8. We can now upload and associate files with invoices via the API. Woohoo!

    For the next step we need to actually let Xero know to include those associated files with the invoice. In the core app this is done by clicking on the file icon, then clicking on each file's settings then clicking on "Include with invoice".

    We have to do this over 200 times a month manually for every invoicing run. It would be nice to do it with the API instead :-)

  10. 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 payroil

  11. The only way to currently check which contacts have been deleted is to make an API call for each. See https://community.xero.com/developer/discussion/24201/

  12. Enable attachments on the chart of accounts - support the files functionality in Xero via the API so files can be attached to accounts in Xero.

    Do you have some interesting use cases? Share your ideas so we can assess the priority of this feature.

  17. It would be good if you could page through a results set.

    Use Case:

    I want to be able to return the latest 5 approved invoices.

    Given that I don't know when they were created I can't use a filter on any of the date fields and it would be a waste of bandwidth to get all approved invoices a simple pagination system would work well.

  19. It would be useful to be able to access the "Line of Business" field programatically, which would allow developers to then build analytic tools for accountants

  20. I am a linux 64 bit user, and therefore I need to use flash 11 (since flash 10.x is only 32 bit). Flash 11 is already on release candidate stage and I use flash sites everywhere without problem. But when I try to use xero it says "You dont have flash player installed".

    Sorry for the late reply, this was missed as it is not an API request, but I can confirm the flash detection issue was fixed a couple of weeks ago.
