UAE e-Invoicing API for Custom & Legacy System Integration
For businesses running a system without a native TAQATUA connector, the API delivers the same FTA and Peppol validation and ASP hand-off, reached programmatically.
Why an API-First Approach to e-Invoicing
Not every system that needs to issue invoices is a mainstream ERP. Custom-built billing systems, point-of-sale platforms, legacy in-house software, and industry-specific tools (property management, hospitality PMS/POS, procurement platforms) all generate transactions that eventually need to reach a certified ASP in a structured, FTA-compliant format. For these systems, a pre-built connector often doesn’t exist — which is where an API-based integration path matters.
What the TAQATUA API Does
The TAQATUA API accepts invoice, credit-note, and master data from any system capable of making an HTTP call, and runs it through the same normalization, validation, and ASP-handoff pipeline used by TAQATUA’s native ERP connectors:
- Structured endpoints for invoices, credit notes, and reference/master data
- Field-level validation against FTA and Peppol (PINT AE) schema requirements before submission
- Consistent response and status codes so your system can confirm delivery or surface exceptions programmatically
- The same canonical data model used across TAQATUA’s ERP connectors, for consistent reporting regardless of source system
Connecting Custom & Legacy Systems
If your business runs a bespoke billing platform, an older ERP version without a pre-built connector, or a vertical-specific system, the API path lets that system participate in UAE e-invoicing compliance without a parallel manual process. It’s the same integration TAQATUA offers for SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, and Zoho — just reached through direct API calls rather than a native connector.
Data Format, Validation & Security
Every document submitted through the API is validated against current FTA and Peppol schema rules before it’s passed to your ASP, with data encrypted in transit and at rest, role-based access control, and a full activity log for every request — the same enterprise-security posture applied across the rest of the TAQATUA platform.

Do we need a native connector, or can we just use the API?
If your ERP has a native TAQATUA connector (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, Zoho), that's usually the faster path. The API exists for custom, legacy, or vertical-specific systems without one.
What data format does the API expect?
The API accepts structured invoice, credit-note, and master data, which TAQATUA then normalizes and validates against FTA and Peppol (PINT AE) schema requirements before ASP hand-off.
Is the API secure for financial and tax data?
Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and every request is logged for audit.
Can the API be used alongside a native ERP connector?
Yes — multi-entity groups often use a native connector for their primary ERP and the API for smaller or custom systems, consolidated under the same canonical data model.
