Connect Xero to Hypamoon
Yes, with one catch. Xero has an open API that you can use yourself, but it signs in with OAuth only, and that takes more work in a Hypamoon adapter today.
OpenThe check
Three questions about the API of Xero, answered from its own docs.
- Public API docs
- Yes. Read the docs
- A key you create yourself
- Yes. Register an app yourself in the Xero developer portal. developer.xero.com
- Versions or a changelog
- Yes. Public release notes. developer.xero.com
- How it signs in
- OAuth 2.0 with an app you register yourself; access tokens last 30 minutes and refresh tokens 60 days. Custom Connections use client credentials but are paid and only for organisations in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US.
- Webhooks
- Yes. It can tell your app when something changes. developer.xero.com
- Hosting
- Cloud
- Condition
- The free Starter developer plan allows up to 5 connections; more connections need a paid developer plan.
In practice
What it takes in a real Xero administration.
- Getting access
- The developer registers an app in the Xero developer portal, and the organisation's adviser or admin signs in once to connect the organisation.
- Limits
- Per organisation: 60 calls per minute, 5 at the same time, and 5,000 calls per day (1,000 on the free Starter plan). Across all organisations an app may make 10,000 calls per minute. developer.xero.com
- Writing
- Read and write. Create and update contacts, invoices, credit notes, payments and more; the Journals endpoint is a premium feature that needs approval.
- Cost
- Developer plans: Starter free (5 connections), Core 35 AUD, Plus 245 AUD and Advanced 1,445 AUD a month, Enterprise on application; data egress above the allowance costs 2.40 AUD per GB. developer.xero.com
What you can build
Create the contact and a draft invoice in Xero when a job is closed in your own tool, and ask your chat which invoices are overdue.
Your chat writes it as a Hypamoon adapter from the docs above. Reading starts after you click Allow in the portal, and every write waits for your approval, one call at a time. How adapters work
Good to know
- Xero signs in with OAuth or signed requests only, with tokens that expire. The Hypamoon vault holds a fixed key today, so an adapter for Xero takes more work: ask your chat to check this first.
- Starter apps can make 1,000 calls per day per organisation.
Try it in your chat
Fill in what to read and write, and send it.

Tool not listed? Ask the chat to check its API.
The same three checks work for any software. Your chat reads the vendor's own docs and tells you what it found.
Check if [software] has an open API that a Hypamoon adapter can use: public API docs, a key or token I can create myself without asking the vendor, and versions or a changelog. Link the pages you used.
Fill in the name of your software. Checking needs no connection to Hypamoon.
