This beta release only supports oAuth2 authentication and the following API sets.
- accounting
Coming soon
- fixed asset
- bank feeds
- files
- payroll
- projects
- xero hq
All third party libraries dependencies managed with Composer.
SDK reference for all methods and models.
PHP 5.5 and later
Follow these steps to create your Xero app
- Create a free Xero user account (if you don't have one)
- Login to Xero developer center
- Click "Try oAuth2" link
- Enter your App name, company url, privacy policy url.
- Enter the redirect URI (something like http://localhost:8888/pathToApp/callback.php)
- Agree to terms and condition and click "Create App".
- Click "Generate a secret" button.
- Copy your client id and client secret and save for use later.
- Click the "Save" button. Your secret is now hidden.
To install the bindings via Composer, add the following to composer.json:
"require": {
"xeroapi/xero-php-oauth2": "0.2.5"
}
Then run composer install
Download the files and include autoload.php:
require_once('/path/to/xeroapi/autoload.php');Below is a barebones example of the oAuth 2 flow. You can copy/paste the 4 files below and substitute your ClientId, ClientSecret and RedirectURI from developer.xero.com.
- Point your browser to authorization.php, you'll be redirected to Xero where you'll login and select a Xero org to authorize.
- Once complete, you'll be returned to your app to the redirect URI which should point to the callback.php.
- In the callback, you'll obtain an access token which we'll use in authorizedResource.php to read the Organisation details.
