  Xero is a cloud accounting platform for small businesses, accountants, and
  bookkeepers that provides invoicing, bank reconciliation, payroll, expense
  management, and financial reporting. The Xero Accounting API exposes
  full-featured REST endpoints for invoices, contacts, bank transactions,
  accounts, items, journals, reports, and more. All Xero APIs share a single
  OAuth 2.0 authorization layer, require the Xero-Tenant-Id header to scope
  requests to an organization, and are served from api.xero.com.
