Hi Guys,

I'm working on a project where i'm going to have to work with the Xero API. Here is a no overview of the types of authentication I can use.

I would like to go with the Private Application as it will be more stable and i'll probably need to be running cron jobs etc.

I've read that I need to generate a cert using openssl (done) and add my application (cert) to my xero account (done).

I'm having a little trouble getting things working after that? Do I need to setup apache to do something with SSL or what?

Just wondering has anybody else worked with an API like this before? I am developing in PHP.

Any guidance or pointers apprecitated. I'm currently googling and reading up on OAuth (2legged).

Cheers!
