The Sales Tax Rates by ZIP Code API is a tool designed to provide accurate, up-to-date, and structured tax information on the different taxes applicable to sales within the United States. Its main purpose is to make it easier for users to automatically obtain the current tax rates according to the specific location of each transaction, identified by ZIP Code.
Through this API, it is possible to consult detailed data such as the combined rate, which includes all applicable tax levels—state rate, county rate, city rate, and special rate. In addition, the API returns contextual information, such as the state, region, or city associated with the requested ZIP code, allowing for more comprehensive and flexible processing of tax information.
This API is particularly useful for e-commerce platforms, POS (point of sale) systems, accounting applications, and billing services, as it ensures automated tax compliance across different jurisdictions without the need to maintain manual databases. Overall, the ZIP code sales tax rate API provides a reliable and scalable solution for digital tax management in modern business environments.

The API returns detailed sales tax information for a specified ZIP code, including state, local, and combined tax rates. It provides contextual data such as the state name, region, and specific tax breakdowns (state rate, county rate, city rate, and special rate).
The key fields in the response include "state," "zip," "region," "combined_rate," "state_rate," "county_rate," "city_rate," and "special_rate." These fields provide comprehensive tax information relevant to the specified ZIP code.
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with a top-level object containing a "code," "error" status, and a "data" object. The "data" object includes detailed tax information, making it easy to parse and utilize in applications.
The API provides information on state, local, and combined sales tax rates, as well as the associated region and city for each ZIP code. This allows users to understand the tax implications for transactions in specific locations.
Typical use cases include e-commerce platforms calculating sales tax at checkout, POS systems ensuring compliance with local tax laws, and accounting applications managing tax reporting. The API helps automate tax calculations across various jurisdictions.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates from reliable government and tax authority sources. The API ensures that users receive the most current tax rates applicable to each ZIP code, minimizing the risk of errors in tax calculations.
The primary parameter for the endpoint is the ZIP code, which users must provide to retrieve the corresponding sales tax rates. This allows for targeted queries based on specific transaction locations.
Users can utilize the returned data by integrating it into their applications to automate tax calculations. For example, e-commerce platforms can use the combined rate to calculate total costs at checkout, ensuring compliance with local tax regulations.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
