Parse a raw UN/EDIFACT document (the B2B EDI format used across Europe, Asia, logistics and customs — the international counterpart to ANSI X12) into clean, structured JSON. POST { edi } with the raw interchange text. Reads the optional UNA service-string advice to auto-detect delimiters (or applies the UN defaults: component ':', element '+', segment "'", release '?'), handles release-character escaping, then returns the interchange envelope (UNB: syntax id, sender/recipient with qualifiers, date/time, control reference, test indicator), and each message with its type decoded (e.g. ORDERS = Purchase Order, INVOIC = Invoice, DESADV = Despatch Advice/ASN, ORDRSP = PO Response, CONTRL = Acknowledgment) plus version/release/agency from the UNH, every segment named (BGM, DTM, NAD, LIN, QTY, MOA, …), and a semantic summary — for an order that's the order number, document/delivery dates, parties (buyer/seller/ship-to with role decoded), and line items (product id + quantity); for an invoice the invoice number, currency, parties and total; for a despatch advice the despatch number, date and package/line counts. Deterministic, no external calls. Turns opaque EDIFACT into something an agent can use without hand-rolling a parser.
/api/edi/edifactPAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The edifact API is a pay-per-call edi endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. Parse a raw UN/EDIFACT document (the B2B EDI format used across Europe, Asia, logistics and customs — the international counterpart to ANSI X12) into clean, structured JSON.
There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in edifact data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs edi data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.
