Getting Employee Address from Xero API

Question

Using Xero API for PHP, I am able to retrieve a list of employees by using the following:

$xero->load('PayrollAU\\Employee')->execute();

However, this does not return the employees address. Other information is returned (name, email, gender, etc) but not the address.

How do I retrieve the employee's address?

It turns out, Xero doesn't send all the information in that particular call

In order to get all the information you have to run two calls

the first:

$xero->load('PayrollAU\\Employee')->execute();

From the result set, fetch the EmployeeID

then run another call

$xero->loadByGUID('PayrollAU\\Employee',$employeeID);

The loadByGUID call will pull all the employee data to use.
