NAME

WebService::Xero - Access Xero Accounting Package Public and Private Application API

VERSION

Version 0.11

SYNOPSIS

The Xero API is a RESTful web service and uses the OAuth (v1.0a) https://oauth.net/core/1.0a/ protocol to authenticate 3rd party applications.

WebService::Xero aims primarily to simplify the authenticated access to Xero API service end-point by encapuslating the OAuth requirements.

To enable API access see the Xero Getting started guide

https://developer.xero.com/documentation/getting-started/getting-started-guide/

and with the Configured Application Authentication Credentials from https://api.xero.com/Application

this module will allow to to access the API Services.

Xero provides Private, Public and Partner Applications. This module currently supports the Private and Public Application types.

The simplest implementation uses a Private Application as follows:

    use WebService::Xero::Agent::PrivateApplication;
    use Data::Dumper;

    my $xero = WebService::Xero::Agent::PrivateApplication->new( CONSUMER_KEY    => 'YOUR_OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY', 
                                                          CONSUMER_SECRET => 'YOUR_OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET', 
                                                          PRIVATE_KEY         => "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----.........." 
                                                          );
    ## AND THEN ACCESS THE API POINTS

    my $contact_struct = $xero->do_xero_api_call( 'https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Contacts' );

    print Dumper $contact_struct; ## should contain an array of hashes containing contact data.

Limits

Xero API call limits are 1,000/day and 60/minute request per organisation limit as described at https://developer.xero.com/documentation/getting-started/xero-api-limits/.

I have started to work at encpsulating the Xero data objects (Contact, Item, Invoice etc ) and will refine for the next release.
