What is EDI2XML Web Service?
EDI2XML Web Service, is an HTTP-based EDI Conversion REST API that automatically detects whether an incoming message is EDI or XML. Our EDI Web service runs over the internet, on EDI2XML’s platform capable of receiving HTTP requests to translate EDI messages to XML, and XML messages (based on EDI2XML’s proprietary format) to EDI.
For developers seeking the best EDI translation API, here’s why it stands out:
No EDI Experience Required: Work with XML, a format mastered by most developers.
Rapid Integration: Use our pre-built Java client or call the XML to EDI Web Service directly from tools like Postman.

How the EDI Conversion REST API Works
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:
An EDI message OR,
An XML message
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.
In case it was an EDI message, it will automatically convert to XML (EDI2XML proprietary format), and return the resulting Response to the caller.
In case the service detects the requested message as XML, he will translate to EDI and return the response to the caller in EDI format.
Basically, EDI2XML HTTP service is very intelligent to detect the message received within the request and will act accordingly into translating it from EDI to XML or XML to EDI.

Getting started with EDI2XML Web Service is very simple and quick. Within less than an hour, you can issue the first Call to the Web Service and see the response. Our Web Service is very well documented and instructions are provided with each subscription. In our instructions guide we provide:
a Java client that receives (4) parameters and does the call and returns the result. You can use at your own will within your flow. It is 100% cross-platform, and free to use by our subscribers. This client has been developed by our own team to ease our clients’ work.

How Much EDI2XML Web Service Costs?
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
No Hidden Fees
Our pricing model is designed to be straightforward with no hidden fees or unexpected charges. You only pay for what you use.

What is a Kilo Character (KC) in EDI?
A Kilo Character (KC) is a unit used to calculate the size of EDI documents. It represents 1,024 characters, including:
All text, numbers, and symbols.
Spaces and delimiters (e.g., +, :, ').
Segment tags (e.g., 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.
