Xero

This is a setup guide for the Xero source connector which ingests data from the Accounting API.

Prerequisites​

First of all you should create an application in Xero development center. The only supported integration type is to use Xero Custom Connections so you should choose it on creating your Xero App. After creating an application, on configuration screen, authorize user for your Xero Organisation. Also, issue new Client Secret and remember it - it will be required for setting up Xero connector in your Airbyte instance.
