# NF-e XML to JSON: Brazil Invoice Parser (NF-e, NFC-e) (`br_data_hub/br-nfe-xml-parser`) Actor Convert Brazilian electronic invoices (NF-e and NFC-e XML) into clean JSON or one row per item: issuer, buyer, products, NCM, CFOP, ICMS, PIS, COFINS, totals, payments and installments, with access key check. - **URL**: https://apify.com/br_data_hub/br-nfe-xml-parser.md - **Developed by:** [br_data_hub](https://apify.com/br_data_hub) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, AI - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $2.80 / 1,000 invoices This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have. Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/actors-in-store.md#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## NF-e XML to JSON: Brazil Invoice Parser (NF-e, NFC-e) Convert **Brazilian electronic invoices** (**NF-e**, model 55, and **NFC-e**, model 65, layout 4.00) from XML into **clean JSON**, or into **one row per product line** ready for spreadsheets and databases. You get the issuer, buyer, every item with **NCM, CFOP, GTIN, ICMS, IPI, PIS and COFINS**, the totals, payment methods, installments and the SEFAZ authorization. The **44-digit access key is checked** (check digit) and decoded. The XML of an NF-e is deeply nested, uses Portuguese tag names and has dozens of tax groups (ICMS00, ICMS20, ICMSSN102...). Every accountant, ERP integration and expense tool has to write this parser. This Actor does it for thousands of files per run, through an API or a form, with English field names and **CPF of individual buyers always masked**. Typical uses: bookkeeping and tax checks, importing supplier invoices into an ERP or spreadsheet, purchase and price analysis by NCM, expense apps, and AI agents that read invoices. ### What you get per invoice - Access key, check digit validation and decoded fields (state, year and month, issuer CNPJ, model, series, number) - Number, series, issue date, operation, direction, environment, SEFAZ status and protocol - Issuer: CNPJ, name, trade name, state registration, tax regime (CRT), address - Buyer: CNPJ or masked CPF, name, state registration; e-mail and address only for companies - Items: code, GTIN, description, NCM, CEST, CFOP, unit, quantity, prices, discount, ICMS (group, origin, CST/CSOSN, base, rate, value, ST), IPI, PIS, COFINS, approximate taxes - Totals, payments (with method names), installments, carrier and additional information ### Input | Field | Description | |---|---| | `xmlUrls` | Links to XML files. Up to 5,000 per run, 5 MB each. | | `xmlTexts` | XML documents pasted directly, one per entry. | | `outputMode` | `invoices` (default): one row per invoice. `items`: one row per item with the invoice header repeated. | ```json { "xmlUrls": ["https://example.com/nfe/35261011222333000181550010000012341123456787.xml"], "outputMode": "items" } ``` ### Output One dataset item per invoice (`items` shortened to one entry here): ```json { "source": "text #1", "accessKey": "35261011222333000181550010000012341123456787", "accessKeyValid": true, "keyState": "SP", "keyYearMonth": "2026-10", "keyIssuerCnpj": "11222333000181", "keyModel": "55", "keySeries": 1, "keyNumber": 1234, "model": "NF-e", "series": 1, "number": 1234, "issuedAt": "2026-10-28T10:15:00-03:00", "operation": "Venda de mercadoria", "direction": "outbound", "environment": "production", "status": { "code": "100", "message": "Autorizado o uso da NF-e", "protocol": "135260000000001", "authorizedAt": "2026-10-28T10:15:30-03:00" }, "authorized": true, "issuer": { "document": "11222333000181", "name": "EXEMPLO COMERCIO DE ELETRONICOS LTDA", "tradeName": "Exemplo Eletronicos", "stateRegistration": "110042490114", "taxRegime": "Normal", "address": { "street": "Avenida Paulista", "number": "1000", "complement": null, "district": "Bela Vista", "city": "Sao Paulo", "cityIbgeCode": "3550308", "state": "SP", "zipCode": "01310100", "country": "Brasil", "phone": "1130000000" } }, "buyer": { "document": "***456789**", "type": "individual", "name": "CONSUMIDOR DE EXEMPLO", "stateRegistration": null, "email": null, "address": null, "state": "SP" }, "totals": { "products": 4650, "freight": 0, "insurance": 0, "discount": 10, "otherCharges": 0, "icmsBase": 4640, "icms": 835.2, "icmsSt": 0, "ipi": 0, "pis": 76.56, "cofins": 352.64, "approxTaxes": 1395, "invoice": 4640 }, "payments": [ { "method": "15", "methodName": "Boleto bancário", "amount": 4640 } ], "installments": [ { "number": "001", "dueDate": "2026-11-28", "amount": 2320 }, { "number": "002", "dueDate": "2026-12-28", "amount": 2320 } ], "carrier": null, "freightMode": "9", "additionalInfo": "Pedido 98765.

Files that cannot be read, or that are not an NF-e, come back with `error` filled in and are not charged. ### How much does it cost? Pay per event: one `invoice` per invoice parsed, with all its items included (also in `items` mode). Invalid files, failed downloads and documents that are not an NF-e are free. **$0.004 per invoice** (`invoice` event, pay per event). Charged once per invoice parsed, with all its items included. Invalid files, failed downloads and non NF-e documents are free. | You get | Free tier | Bronze tier (10% off) | Gold tier (30% off) | |---|---|---|---| | 100 invoices | $0.40 | $0.36 | $0.28 | | 1,000 invoices | $4.00 | $3.60 | $2.80 | | 10,000 invoices | $40.00 | $36.00 | $28.00 | Discounts follow your Apify subscription tier: Bronze 10%, Silver 20%, Gold and above 30%. No subscription to this Actor and no charge for platform usage: you pay only for results. The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, enough for about **1,250 invoices** at the list price. You can cap the cost of any run with **Maximum cost per run**; the Actor stops when it is reached. ### Data source and limits The Actor reads only the XML files you give it; nothing is sent to SEFAZ or any other service. It follows the NF-e layout 4.00 (Manual de Orientação do Contribuinte). The authorization status is the one written in the XML (`protNFe`): to confirm that an invoice was not cancelled later, check it on the SEFAZ portal. Limits: XML only (extract ZIP files first; DANFE PDFs are not read). CT-e, MDF-e and NFS-e are not supported. CPF of individual buyers and carriers is masked, and their e-mail and street address are not returned. ### Use it via API Run it from any language and get the results as JSON.
