e-Invoice API Specifications

# Introduction

This document specifies the JSON API supported by Octa Bills Server application in order to automate the e-invoicing workflows such as generation, retrieval and cancellation of e-invoices.

# Abbreviations & References

Term	Description
IRN	Invoice Reference Number
IRP	Invoice Registration Portal. Currently NIC is the only authorised IRP.
API	Application Programmer Interface
Base64 encoding	Method of encoding binary data in printable string
Base64 URL encoding	Method of encoding binary data in printable string using URL safe characters
e-Invoice Sandbox (NIC)	NIC portal of e-invoice application development

# Authentication

API authentication is done using the http basic authentication. This is done using the Authorization http header in the request. This header can be constructed as follows:

The username and password are combined with a single colon :.
The resulting string is encoded in byte array using UTF-8 encoding.
The resulting string is encoded in base64 string.
The resulting string is prefixed with the authorisation method Basic.

For example, if username is ramesh and password is elephant@123 then http header would be:

Authorization: Basic cmFtZXNoOmVsZXBoYW50QDEyMw==

Key Id and Key Secret generated on Octa Cloud Portal are used as username and password respectively. Refer this guide to generate Key Id and Key Secret on Octa Cloud.
