For Agents
Programmatically create one or more new feed connection, searches for feed connections. Covers 7 operations with oauth2 authentication.

Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for finance and accounting only.
The Bank Feeds API is a closed API that is only available to financial institutions that have an established financial services partnership with Xero. If you're an existing financial services partner that wants access, contact your local Partner Manager. If you're a financial institution who wants to provide bank feeds to your business customers, contact us to become a financial services partner. The API exposes 7 endpoints secured with oauth2 authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Xero Bank Feeds API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Xero Bank Feeds API.

Patterns agents use Xero Bank Feeds API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Finance and Accounting Operations
Use the Xero Bank Feeds API to perform finance operations programmatically. The API provides 7 endpoints covering core functionality including create one or more new feed connection, searches for feed connections, retrieve single feed connection based on a unique id provided.
Call POST /FeedConnections to create one or more new feed connection
Automated Feedconnections Management
Automate feedconnections operations by combining multiple Xero Bank Feeds API endpoints. Agents can searches for feed connections and then retrieve single feed connection based on a unique id provided in a single workflow.
Call GET /FeedConnections to searches for feed connections, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Xero Bank Feeds API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle oauth2 tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'create one or more new feed connection', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials
7 endpoints — the bank feeds api is a closed api that is only available to financial institutions that have an established financial services partnership with xero.

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Xero Bank Feeds API oauth2 credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'create one or more new feed connection') and Jentic returns the matching Xero Bank Feeds API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Xero Bank Feeds API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

What authentication does the Xero Bank Feeds API use?
The Xero Bank Feeds API uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I create one or more new feed connection with the Xero Bank Feeds API?
Yes. Use the POST /FeedConnections endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Xero Bank Feeds API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I create one or more new feed connection through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'create one or more new feed connection'. Jentic returns the matching Xero Bank Feeds API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Xero Bank Feeds API have?
The Xero Bank Feeds API exposes 7 endpoints covering feedconnections, statements operations.
