Validate Brazilian Nota Fiscal Eletrônica (NF-e, mod 55), NFC-e (mod 65), and CT-e (mod 57) XML against current SEFAZ schemas — and get back the exact element paths that failed, not a cryptic rejection code. Built for fiscal-tech developers, ERPs, and e-commerce checkout integrations that need to catch malformed fiscal documents before SEFAZ does.
Most Brazilian fiscal APIs (Focus NFe, Webmania, NFe.io) are full emission stacks — heavy, priced for issuers, and overkill if you already hold the XML and only need to validate it. This is a pure-data validator: POST the XML, get a structured pass/fail with typed errors. The schema rules and per-município NFS-e quirks are not replicated by generic global validators.
/NFe/infNFe/ide/nNF with typed codes (MISSING_REQUIRED, INVALID_FORMAT, CROSS_FIELD, UNSUPPORTED_VERSION, INVALID_ROOT).400 for malformed XML, 422 for schema-valid-but-content-invalid, 200 for valid./v1/ API, and daily SEFAZ schema-drift monitoring.{

[Required] Should be Bearer access_key. See "Your API Access Key" above when you are subscribed. |
No long-term commitment. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime. Free Trial includes up to 50 requests.
The API returns a JSON response that includes a validity flag, a list of per-element errors (with paths and error codes), the auto-detected schema version, the document kind, and any municipality-specific warnings.
Key fields in the response include "valid" (boolean), "errors" (array of error objects), "schema_version" (string), "schema_kind" (string), and "municipality_specific_warnings" (array).
The response is structured as a JSON object with top-level keys for validity, errors, schema version, schema kind, and municipality warnings, allowing easy access to each component.
The API provides validation results for NF-e, NFC-e, and CT-e XML documents, including error details, schema version, and municipality-specific warnings, ensuring comprehensive validation feedback.
Data accuracy is maintained through daily monitoring of SEFAZ schema updates, ensuring that the API uses the most current validation rules and structures for NF-e, NFC-e, and CT-e documents.
Typical use cases include validating supplier NF-e before ledger import in ERP systems, pre-validating CT-e/NF-e during e-commerce checkout, and ensuring compliance in document-intake pipelines.
Users can utilize the returned data by checking the "valid" flag to determine if the XML is valid, reviewing the "errors" array for specific issues, and addressing any municipality-specific warnings for compliance.
Standard data patterns include a "valid" flag of true for valid documents, an empty "errors" array, and specific error codes like MISSING_REQUIRED or INVALID_FORMAT for invalid documents, providing clear feedback on issues.
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.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
