Usage

For a GET request:

• The first parameter is the only required parameter and must be 'GET', 'POST', 'PUT' or 'DELETE'
• The second parameter can be FALSE or a string ID if you want to get a single record by ID
• The third parameter can be a date/time, in any format, if you want to fetch all records modified since that date
• The fourth parameter can be an array of filters as described at https://developer.xero.com/documentation/getting-started/http-requests-and-responses/. This allows you to filter the query and order the returned data.

All parameters are optional except the first. If not parameters are passed then all records of the requested type will be returned

For a POST or PUT request:

• The first parameter must be the method, as above, and the second param must be a multidimensional array of the data being passed as in the examples below.
