DIAN Electronic Document

Validate a Colombian electronic document (factura electrónica, nota crédito/débito) by its CUFE/UUID and the emisor or receptor NIT. Returns the issuer, recipient, totals and taxes (whole pesos, as the registry publishes them), current legitimate holder, validations, and events, each with its code (030, 032, 033...), name, date and parties. Set include_pdf: true to also receive pdf_url, the URL of the official PDF representation. The issuer may protect that PDF with a password; when handing it over, tell the user which passwords to try, in this order: (1) the issuer's NIT without check digit (issuer.nit, e.g. 900108281), the most common; (2) the recipient's document number without check digit (recipient.nit); (3) the recipient's NIT with its check digit appended. If none works, point the user to DIAN's public catalog (https://catalogo-vpfe.dian.gov.co/User/SearchDocument), where pasting the CUFE downloads DIAN's own graphical representation. Do not try to open or extract a protected PDF with other tools; give the user the link and the password hints instead. A result is reused for 24 hours; pass cache: false to read the registry again, for instance after filing an event. found: false means the document is not registered under that CUFE, or the NIT matches neither the emisor nor the receptor.

Supports async delivery: set Prefer: wait=N for an inline result, pass callback_url to receive a POST when ready, or poll GET /jobs/{id}.

  • URL: https://api.croma.run/co/dian/electronic-document/v1
  • Auth: HTTP bearer

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring
Example:0f8e9a42-6b7c-4d1e-9a3f-2c5d7e8f9a0b

Optional client-chosen key for this request (any string up to 255 characters, e.g. a UUID). Every Croma operation is an idempotent lookup: repeating a request with the same body returns the same result and creates nothing, so retrying after a timeout or network failure is always safe. The key is echoed back in the Idempotency-Key response header so you can correlate a retry with its first attempt. Each attempt that reaches the API counts against the rate limit.

Preferstring
Example:wait=30

Set wait=N to hold the connection up to N seconds for an inline result. If the job finishes in time you get the normal 200 body; otherwise a 202 with a status_url to poll.
