Usage

Once the server is running, you can make API calls to interact with Xero. Below are some examples of how to use the server effectively.

Authentication

Authenticate your application with Xero by directing users to the authorization URL. After authorization, Xero will redirect to your specified redirect URI with an authorization code.

Making API Calls

You can use the server's endpoints to access Xero data. Here’s a simple example:

curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/api/invoices

This will return a list of invoices from your Xero account.

Automating Tasks

You can set up scheduled tasks using cron jobs to automate routine financial processes. For example, you can create a cron job to fetch invoices every hour.
