Convert EDI ↔ XML or JSON via REST API — now with OAuth2 security and 997 acknowledgments built in.
SMARTER. FASTER. MORE SECURE.
The EDI2XML Web Service is a powerful, HTTP-based REST API that seamlessly translates EDI (X12) messages to XML or JSON and vice versa, without requiring EDI expertise. Built for developers, integrators, and IT teams, this API supports fast setup, flexible formats, and pay-as-you-go pricing.
Start converting EDI programmatically in under an hour.
No contracts. No hidden fees. 15-day free trial.
You can now send XML or JSON requests to the API and receive X12 (EDI) in return.
Likewise, when sending X12, the service returns either JSON or XML based on a parameter you send in your json POST request.
No need for a separate API call — the 997 Functional Acknowledgment is now returned directly in the API response (as an X12-formatted string), saving you time and effort.
API access is now protected by OAuth2 Authorization, offering:
This upgrade reinforces our commitment to building a fast, secure, and scalable EDI conversion service — so your team can focus on integration, not translation.
EDI2XML Web Service is an HTTP-based EDI Conversion REST API that automatically detects whether an incoming message is in X12, XML, or JSON format. It runs entirely over the internet, on the EDI2XML platform, and is capable of receiving secure HTTP requests to translate:
Now with Version 2.0, the service supports both application/XML and application/JSON, giving you more flexibility in the way you interact with the API.
For developers seeking the best EDI translation API, here’s why it stands out:
No EDI Experience Required
Work with XML or JSON, formats already mastered by most developers — no need to learn EDI standards.
Rapid Integration
Use our pre-built Java client or call the XML to EDI Web Service directly from integration tools like Postman or ARC.
Built-in 997 Functional Acknowledgment (New in v2.0)
The API now automatically returns a 997 Functional Acknowledgment along with the converted message — no extra call required.
Enhanced Security with OAuth2 (New in v2.0)
All API requests are now protected by OAuth2 Authorization, with secure token-based access and refresh tokens valid for one hour.
Cost-Effective
Our pay-as-you-go EDI conversion service charges only for the data processed — no upfront commitments or hidden fees.
Our Web Service System is designed to receive HTTP requests in “multi-part/data form” encryption mode, encapsulating few parameters (API Token and password). At the same time, the HTTP request can include:
Upon receiving the Request, EDI2XML web service will detect the message sent, and find out whether it is an XML message or an EDI message.
If you send EDI, the API returns XML or JSON
If you send XML or JSON, it returns EDI (X12 format)
The expected output format can be controlled by a parameter in your request or by setting the appropriate HTTP Content-Type and Accept headers (e.g., application/xml or application/json).
There are great advantages for developers and IT project managers to use the EDI2XML HTTP service. The following are some of the main advantages and benefits:

A Kilo Character (KC) is a unit used to calculate the size of EDI documents. It represents 1,024 characters, including:
+, :, ').ISA, GS, ST).Example:
A typical EDI document like an 850 Purchase Order or 810 Invoice is roughly 1 KC (1,024 characters).
Key Facts:
✅ 1 KC = 1,024 characters = 1 KB (Kilo-Byte) in size.
✅ Pricing for EDI translation services (like EDI Web Service) often uses KC to calculate data processing fees.
✅ KC counts ensure fair billing, as EDI documents vary in complexity.

EDI2XML fees to consume HTTP / Web Service calls are based on a very simple pricing scheme. There are [2] elements that make up the price:
a) Monthly mailbox fee: a “fixed” monthly fee for the Web Service Mailbox usage on EDI2XML platform. It is a non-refundable fee.
b) Data processing fee: a “variable” fee based on the volume of data processed and translated between EDI and XML, during a calendar month. The volume of data processed is computed in both directions:
a) Incoming, and
b) Outgoing
Our pricing model is designed to be straightforward with no hidden fees or unexpected charges. You only pay for what you use.
