💡Unified API

SIGN FR is built on the Unified API — fiskaly’s multi-country architecture. Integrate SIGN FR once, and adding Italy (or Sweden when available) means changing the payload schema, not rewriting your integration. See The Unified API for the shared resource model, headers, and terminology.

Core functionalities

1

Record signing

Cryptographic signing and chaining of records.

2

Period closures

Daily, monthly, and yearly closing operations required by NF525. Closures are being automatically triggered on our end.
