Generate the representation document
Scopecompanies:writeGenerates the unsigned AEAT representation PDF of a company (NIF), the first step of the representation flow.
- Next steps: download the PDF from
GET /v1/companies/{company_id}/representation/document, sign it digitally and return it throughPOST /v1/companies/{company_id}/representation/submit. - Fiscal identity: must be complete before the document can be produced. An incomplete
one is rejected with
400naming what is missing. - Existing representation: a company that already holds an active one is rejected too. Cancel it first.
Keys are prefixed beel_sk_, and each one carries the scopes it was created with: a key
short of the scope an operation needs is answered 403. The scope an operation requires
is shown next to its title, and the full catalogue lives in the Scopes reference.
Keys are created from the BeeL dashboard. They are secret credentials: do not share them or commit them to source control.
In: header
Path Parameters
NIF (company) the operation acts on. It is the only source of context: the account that owns it is derived from it, and the BeeL-Active-Company header plays no part. A NIF you do not reach answers 403, and so does a NIF that does not exist, so the existence of a NIF in another account is never disclosed.
uuidHeader Parameters
Idempotency key to prevent duplicates in sensitive operations.
- Any unique client-generated string (e.g. an order id). A UUID also works but is not required
- Allowed characters: letters, digits,
_and-(max 255 chars) - If the same key is sent twice, the result of the first operation is returned
- Keys expire 24 hours after processing
The key is scoped per user and environment, and bound to the request body, so retrying after a network timeout replays the stored response instead of repeating the operation.
| Status | Code | When |
|---|---|---|
400 | INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY | The key breaks the format rules above. |
409 | IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_PROCESSING | The first request is still in flight. Wait and retry with the same key. |
409 | IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISMATCH | The key was already used with a different body. Use a new key. |

}Get the issuing readiness of a company GET
Returns whether a company (NIF) can issue its STANDARD invoice right now in the environment of the request, and the `blockers` that stop it otherwise. Readiness is a per-NIF property, evaluated independently for each company of the account. - **`ready`:** `true` only when `blockers` is empty. - **Activation:** issuing any fiscal document requires the company to be activated in the environment of that document, whether or not it goes to VeriFactu. - **VeriFactu chain:** the AEAT census and signed representation are additionally demanded only when the company applies VeriFactu by default, the same derivation invoice creation uses when `verifactu_enabled` is omitted. A company with VeriFactu off is ready with a NIF, a default series and an activation. Issuing an invoice with an explicit `verifactu_enabled: true` still enforces the full chain at emission time regardless of this answer, and the separate `verifactu` block reports that chain independently of the setting. - **Not evaluated:** the account's quota or subscription, and the payload of any particular invoice.
Submit the signed representation document POST
Uploads the digitally signed representation PDF of a company (NIF), sent as `multipart/form-data` in the `file` field. - **Validation:** the signature is validated asynchronously, so a `200` means the document was accepted for validation, not that the representation is already active. Poll `GET /v1/companies/{company_id}/representation` for the outcome.
