FAQ :

Direct API integration allows businesses to connect their systems directly with Invoice Registration Portals (IRPs) to report e-invoices automatically.

The guide covers six IRPs: NIC IRP, NIC2 IRP, IRIS IRP, Clear IRP, EY IRP, and Cygnet IRP.

For NIC IRP, businesses with a turnover of 100 crore or more can register for Direct API integration. Those with less than 100 crore turnover will not have this option.

Presently, no set API quota limits are established, and thresholds will be determined by usage patterns. Some IRPs like ClearIRP and Cygnet IRP state no specific limits are imposed or applied based on onboarding volume.

Technical documentation links are provided for each IRP, accessible through the respective portal URLs mentioned in the guide.

Support contact details, including websites and phone numbers, are provided for each IRP to assist with any integration or reporting queries.
