xrechnung-check
Command-line client for the free, keyless XRechnung / ZUGFeRD validator API.
pip install xrechnung-check
xrechnung-check invoice.xml
xrechnung-check invoice.xml --json
xrechnung-check zugferd invoice.pdf
xrechnung-check extract invoice.pdf
Until the package is on PyPI, install it from a checkout:
pip install ./cli
FILE is an XRechnung XML document (UBL or CII) or a ZUGFeRD PDF. The command posts it as multipart field file to https://checkxrechnung.com/v1/validate. Python 3.9+. The only dependency is requests.
No API key. Free limit: 50 validations per IP per UTC day, 10 per minute, shared with the ZUGFeRD routes. FILE on the default command is at most 5 MB. zugferd and extract accept a PDF up to 10 MB and call POST /v1/zugferd/validate and POST /v1/zugferd/extract. HTTP 429 carries Retry-After. Higher volume: https://checkxrechnung.com/api-waitlist
Human output lists each issue with its rule id and rule_url. If the API omits rule_url, the CLI uses https://checkxrechnung.com/fehler/<code> (lowercase). --json prints a normalized report: valid, errors[] with rule_id and rule_url, plus summary fields from the API.
| Exit | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | ok was true |
| 1 | the file is invalid, or it is not an e-invoice |
| 2 | usage error, unreadable file, or the API could not be reached |
