NormAPI Reviews

NormAPI Description

NormAPI serves as an e-invoicing solution tailored for software developers, enabling the issuance and verification of German e-invoices formatted as XRechnung and ZUGFeRD. It comprises two main functionalities: validation and generation. The validation endpoint scrutinizes invoices (in UBL, CII, or ZUGFeRD PDF formats) according to the official KoSIT guidelines, returning detailed findings in JSON format, which include the rule code, severity, and the specific location within the document where the issue arises. The generation feature transforms invoice data provided in JSON into a validated XRechnung (in UBL or CII format) or a ZUGFeRD PDF. Regular updates to the rule set, published by KoSIT approximately every six months, are incorporated, and the active version is included in each validation result. Additionally, a TypeScript client can be found on npm for easy integration. The same validation process is available through a complimentary browser tool that does not require user registration and ensures that invoice content is not stored, while also providing plain-language explanations for 137 out of the 307 rules, assisting users in understanding and rectifying their invoices. Validation services are offered free of charge, while invoice generation is priced at EUR 49 per month for up to 500 invoices or EUR 149 for up to 2,500 invoices, with each account also benefiting from 25 complimentary generated invoices per month. This comprehensive approach ensures that software teams can efficiently manage their e-invoicing needs while staying compliant with the latest regulations.
