Apply Branding Theme by name
Currently only way to add a Branding Theme to an invoice via API is by specifying the BrandingThemeID parameter.
This is rather impractical as BrandingThemeID has to be unique across all of Xero, so if you hardcode the ID for your real Xero organization, when you go to try something with your demo organization, this will fail as ID is not the same, even if the name is.On the other had Xero already forces you to have unique names for your branding themes, but these are supposedly only unique within your organization, so you could have a Branding Theme…

Expose internal unique identifiers in the API when retrieving reports
Because we currently extract accounts through reports, we don't get the internal unique identifier and have to match on number and name. If the user re-names or re-numbers an account in Xero (and this is likely to happen to other entities) we lose the connection to the account stored in our system and the user potentially loses data.

Update Journal API to support filtering based on the Date field OR a general where clause
Currently, you can' t get Journals based on posting date (the Date field in Journal). It should be supported as it is more relevant than the if-modified-since filter. In general, the Journal API should support the where clause.

Call a webhook when a Quote is accepted
When a quote is accepted by a customer, add the option to call a webhook.
This would allow for integration with job tracking software and a secondary call to the quote API (https://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-accounting-api/suggestions/7040008-quotes-via-the-api) would allow me to retrieve the relevant information (customer, description, line items etc) in order to generate a job sheet for the accepted quote with all the relevant data for workers to begin the job.

Add page size/limit to paging GET requests
It would be useful to be able to specify the page size when executing paging requests for the various API GET resources. Currently, the page size is 100, but can't be changed. The issue is that 100 records can still be a long callout if that includes related information.
Being able to do something like:
/Invoices?page=1&pageSize=50Or similar would be handy!

Add a URL field to the CreditNote object to bring it in line with Invoice.
The CreditNote object has no URL field, unlike the Invoice object.
I suggest one is added which is clickable on browsing to the page for that credit note.

Get Journals by Account Type
I need to get all those Journals which involves a Bank account. (i.e. one of its JournalLines has an account of type Bank).
Note that If I get all journals using Journal API, it is very time consuming. I hope to use the Journal API in such a way so that it only returns those Journal which involve a bank.
