ETL the Modern Way. Get your data out of Xero so you can analyze it.
Here’s a sample of the raw Xero data that Panoply will replicate to your warehouse:
Accounts
The Accounts resource allows you to work with accounts in a Xero organisation. The standard CRUD operations are supported, and you can also attach files to an account and even archive one.
Bank Transactions
The Bank Transactions resource allows you to work with bank transactions (receive or spend money transactions), overpayments, and prepayments. You can retrieve, create, and update bank transactions, among other things.
Bank Transfers
The Bank Transfers resource allows you to retrieve and create bank transfers. It also allows you to attach files to bank transfers, as well as retrieve its history and even add notes to it.

Invoices
The Invoices resource allows you to work with sales invoices or purchase bills. Aside from supporting the standard data operations (CRUD) for these objects, you can also attach files to them or even email them.
Items
The Items resource allows you to work with any tracked or untracked items in Xero. You can add, update, or delete them. Also, you can retrieve the history of an item and add notes to it.
Journals
The Journals resource allows you to retrieve any journals. This resource only supports retrieving (GET) journals. If you want to create journals, see the Manual Journals resource.
Manual Journals
The Manual Journals resource allows you to retrieve any manual journals, and add or update draft or posted manual journals. You can also attach files to one.
Organisations
The Organisations resource returns information about a Xero organisation. A Xero organization refers to the entities that you have manually enabled the platform to have access to.
Overpayments
The Overpayments resource allows you to retrieve overpayments and allocate overpayments to outstanding invoices. You can also retrieve an overpayment's history and even add notes to them.

Purchase Orders
The Purchase Orders resource allows you to work with purchase orders. This resource supports all CRUD operations. It also supports the retrieval of a purchase order's history and enables you to add notes to it.
Receipts
As stated in Xero's API, this resource is deprecated. The Receipts resource allows you to work with draft expense claim receipts for any user. All CRUD operations are supported.
Repeating Invoices
The Repeating Invoices resource allows you to retrieve any repeating invoice templates. Also, you can retrieve an invoice's history (summary of all actions made by all users to an invoice).
Reports
The Reports resource allows you to retrieve the commonly viewed reports in Xero. These reports contain a summary of data that may be useful for your own application. Some examples of these reports are Bank Summary and Balance Sheets.

Users
The Users resource allows you to retrieve the users of a Xero organisation. A Xero Organization user refers to anyone to whom you grant access to a specific organization within your list of linking Xero organizations.
Modernizing Xero ETL
What is ETL?
Integrating data for analytics can be especially hard in a fast-shifting, rapid growth startup environment, where relevant business data might be spread out across a collection of apps and spreadsheets. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tools will help you collect your data from APIs and file transfers (the Extract step), convert them into standardized analytics-ready tables (the Transform step) and put them all into a single data repository (the Load step) to centralize your analytics efforts.
The shift to ELT
The traditional ETL model is a relic of the pre-cloud era, when compute resources were expensive, and everything needed to be cleaned up before analysis. These days, moving the transformation step closer to the time of analysis is not only feasible, it’s desirable. ELT lets you load raw data, increasing your analytical flexibility and moving relevant data more quickly from your engineering team to your analytics and BI teams.
All in one Xero data pipeline
Panoply’s 80+ data connectors and built-in automated cloud data warehouse will let you go from a collection of siloed datasets to sophisticated analyses that integrate your Xero data in a matter of minutes. Panoply is the only tool that combines an ETL process with a data warehouse, giving you total control over your data from sync to storage. We’ll handle all the infrastructure so you can skip the engineering work and go straight to analysis with your favorite BI tool.
