Export Xero Data
to JSON for Any System
Xero does not offer a built-in JSON export. EntryRocket reads from the Xero API and produces JSON files in the exact shape your CRM, BI tool, data warehouse, or custom application needs. Email triggers the export. The JSON file lands in your inbox.
Sample output (invoices export)

Xero is great as a system of record. Less great as a data source.
The Xero UI lets you export individual reports as CSV or PDF. That's fine for occasional one-off needs. For anything programmatic, feeding a BI dashboard, syncing to a CRM, archiving snapshots, you have to write code against the Xero API. That means OAuth tokens, rate-limit handling, pagination, schema translation, and ongoing maintenance every time Xero changes a field.
EntryRocket handles all of that. You get clean JSON files in the shape you need, emailed on demand or on schedule, with zero infrastructure on your side.
Common reasons to export Xero data as JSON
If one of these matches your situation, a Xero to JSON export is usually the simplest answer.
Feeding a CRM or sales tool
Your sales team works in HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce. They want invoice and payment status from Xero next to each contact. A nightly JSON export keeps the CRM in sync without anyone touching Xero directly.
Loading a BI dashboard or data warehouse
Looker, Metabase, BigQuery, Snowflake. Your analytics stack ingests JSON. EntryRocket exports the Xero data it needs (invoices, journals, contacts, custom tags) on the cadence you set, in the schema your warehouse expects.
Powering a custom application
You're building a customer portal, a partner dashboard, a reporting microservice. Rather than writing OAuth and API integration code, you point your app at the JSON files EntryRocket drops into your inbox or shared folder.
Backups and migrations
A scheduled JSON export of your full Xero dataset is a clean, portable backup. For a migration to or from another accounting system, the same export is usually the cleanest source of truth to translate from.
Xero to JSON in four steps
The whole process takes about a minute once a reader is set up. You never log into the Xero API yourself.
Define the JSON shape
Tell us which Xero entities you need, which fields, and the exact JSON structure your downstream system expects.
We build the reader
A custom reader connects to your Xero org, pulls the data, applies any business rules, and outputs JSON matching your spec. Usually ready in 2-3 business days.
Trigger an export
Send an email to your dedicated address (with a date range or filter) or wait for the scheduled run. EntryRocket handles auth, pagination and rate limits.
JSON arrives
A JSON file (or set of files) is emailed back, ready for your downstream system to consume. Run it once, weekly, or on every trigger.
Most Xero data is fair game
If the Xero API exposes it, EntryRocket can include it in the export.
- Invoices (sales and supplier)
- Bills and credit notes
- Manual journals
- Bank transactions and statements
- Payments and batch payments
- Contacts (customers and suppliers)
- Inventory items / products and services
- Chart of accounts
- Tax rates and tracking categories
- Branding themes
- Standard reports (P&L, Balance Sheet, Aged)
- Custom field combinations on request
JSON is the most common output for developers. EntryRocket can also produce CSV, XML, YAML, or any structured format your downstream system needs. The workflow is the same.
Start importing into Xero automatically
If you're spending even 15 minutes a week on manual Xero data entry, EntryRocket can give that time back. Most readers are ready within 2-3 business days.
