Journals

Query the line items in journals for a Xero organisation.

Table Specific Information

The Journals view allows you to SELECT the journal lines in journals for a Xero organization. The Id column is generated by the cmdlet; this value combines the index of the line item with the unique, Xero-generated JournalId.

Optimized Filters and High Volume Thresholds

The Xero API defines a list of optimized filters for certain tables and views. If any query filter not included in this list is applied to any such table or view, and the number of records available in that table or view exceeds a certain value (what Xero calls a "high volume threshold"), the Xero API will block the query.

To avoid the rejection of your queries by the Xero API, if the the number of records in your table or view exceed the high volume threshold, make sure to use filters from the list of optimized filters.

Note that the high volume threshold, as well as the exact list of optimized filters, is subject to change as Xero updates its API.

The Journals view has a high volume threshold of 100. The Xero API does not list any optimized filters for this view.

SELECT

The Xero API allows extensive filtering and ordering. You can define WHERE and ORDER BY clauses in a query to filter and order the results using any non-line-item column.

Note: The Xero API does not support filtering on line items or journal lines.
