   Hi Swapnil,

   Thanks for the post.

   We currently have a work around for the issue you are currently facing which may be of use.

   It is possible to include ToLower() in the where clause when quering the endpoint. ie. ?Name.ToLower()=="{name}’

   See the following commultiy thread for more information: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60265042/can-xero-contacts-be-filtered-by-name-case-insensitive

   I completely agree, making the contact search case insensitive would save everyone a lot of headaches. When dealing with large datasets, strict casing just creates unnecessary friction, as we've noticed while managing https://mesacountycourt.org through our own integrations. It really should be a standard feature across all APIs to ensure smoother queries.
