Translate EDI resources with the HTTP POST Method

In order to translate from EDI or translate to EDI use the following resources with the POST method:

1. Read EDI file into JSON

   You can read two resources, X12 files and EDIFACT files/streams. To do so, execute HTTP POST to the resource URL, with the request body being the file to translate included as either binary or form-data content.

   • 1. URL: https://api.edination.com/v2/x12/read
     2. Header: Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: {API key}
     3. Request: X12 file as binary
     4. Response: Array of X12Interchange
   • 1. URL: https://api.edination.com/v2/edifact/read
     2. Header: Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: {API key}
     3. Request: EDIFACT file as binary
     4. Response: Array of EdifactInterchange

   The response will contain an array of EDI interchanges, encoded in application/json format.

   Example with Postman:

   

2. Write JSON to EDI file

   Again, you can write out two resources, X12 and EDIFACT. Execute HTTP POST to the resource URL, the request body must contain a single EDI interchange, included as application/json content.

   • 1. URL: https://api.edination.com/v2/x12/write
     2. Header: Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: {API key}
     3. Request: X12Interchange
     4. Response: X12 file as application/octet-stream
   • 1. URL: https://api.edination.com/v2/edifact/write
     2. Header: Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: {API key}
     3. Request: EdifactInterchange
     4. Response: EDIFACT file as application/octet-stream

   The response will contain an EDI interchange, encoded in application/octet-stream format.
