XML response using XERO API / OAuth2.0

[Sandeep-MWP]

SDK you're using (please complete the following information):

• xeroapi/xero-php-oauth2 sdk version 1.6.2
• Php version 5.6

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• When we send request into XERO API server using the XERO OAuth2.0 SDK to access Reports like -> Trial Balance, Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet. Our application needed the response for the Report request in XML format.
• Does XeroAPI/xero-php-oauth2 support XML response? If “YES”, could you please suggest how would we include the “Accept” header parameter to “XML” during request using OAuth2.0 SDK.

Describe the solution you'd like

• We needed XERO API to return XML response when "accept header" is set to XML using OAuth2.0 SDK.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• We tried using PHP cURL instead to get XML response but could not get the token response in the first place. This issue is similar to the issue raised here

Could you please suggest a solution.
Thank you.

Hi @Sandeep-MWP

xero-php-oauth2 only support JSON requests/responses. But you can use the league oauth2 client we bundle with our sdk to construct your own API call and parse the xml response.

The code would look something like this ....

`
$provider = new \League\OAuth2\Client\Provider\GenericProvider([
'clientId' => $clientId,
'clientSecret' => $clientSecret,
'redirectUri' => 'http://localhost:8888/oauth2',
'urlAuthorize' => 'https://login.xero.com/identity/connect/authorize',
'urlAccessToken' => 'https://identity.xero.com/connect/token',
'urlResourceOwnerDetails' => 'https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Invoices'
]);

$options['headers']['Accept'] = 'application/xml';
$connectionsResponse = $provider->getAuthenticatedRequest(
'GET',
'https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Reports/TrialBalance',
$accessToken,
$options
);
`
