For Agents
Programmatically retrieves the connections for this user, deletes a connection for this user (i.e. disconnect a tenant). Covers 2 operations with basic, oauth2 authentication.
Use for: I need to retrieves the connections for this user, I want to deletes a connection for this user (i.e. disconnect a tenant), Get the current status of Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API resources, List all records from Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for identity and authentication only.
These endpoints are related to managing authentication tokens and identity for Xero API. The API exposes 2 endpoints secured with basic, oauth2 authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service 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 | sh2
Step 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.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API.
Retrieves the connections for this user
Deletes a connection for this user (i.e. disconnect a tenant)
Integrate Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API into automated workflows
Query and filter Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API records by parameters
Monitor Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API operational status and events
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Identity and Authentication Operations
Use the Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API to perform identity auth operations programmatically. The API provides 2 endpoints covering core functionality including retrieves the connections for this user, deletes a connection for this user (i.e. disconnect a tenant).
Call GET /Connections to retrieves the connections for this user
Data Retrieval and Monitoring
Query Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.
Poll the primary Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service 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 basic, oauth2 tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'retrieves the connections for this user', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API basic, 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., 'retrieves the connections for this user') and Jentic returns the matching Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs
Specific to using Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API use?
The Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API uses basic, oauth2 authentication. 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 retrieves the connections for this user with the Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API?
Yes. Use the GET /Connections endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service 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 retrieves the connections for this user through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'retrieves the connections for this user'. Jentic returns the matching Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API have?
The Xero OAuth 2 Identity Service API exposes 2 endpoints covering connections operations.
