Developer-shaped EDI

EDI integration that works like an API

Your ERP and engineers already think in HTTP, keys, and idempotent operations. SignalEDI lets you integrate EDI the same way: authenticate with a Bearer token, upload X12 or API payloads over HTTPS, and track processing in the dashboard — without pretending trading partners stopped using X12.

API keys

Issue and rotate keys from the dashboard; scope-aware access.

HTTPS first

POST multipart uploads to /api/upload — curl-friendly, CI-friendly.

Observable flow

See file status, errors, and partner context in one place.

Transport options

AS2, SFTP, and API paths — pick what fits each partner.

Traditional EDI vs API-shaped workflow

You keep compliance and partner formats; we remove the opaque “black box” feeling for your team.

Topic	Classic EDI feel	API-style with SignalEDI
Onboarding	Long cycles, opaque VAN mailboxes, vendor-specific portals.	Start a trial, get an API key, send a test file the same day.
Sending data	Batch windows, manual drops, unclear acknowledgments.	POST files over HTTPS with Bearer auth — same mental model as REST uploads.
Receiving data	Poll mailboxes or wait for batched notifications.	Pull processed artifacts from the dashboard/API; optional webhooks for pipeline events where configured.
Partner reality	Still X12/EDI specs — non-negotiable with retailers and payers.	SignalEDI translates between your API-style workflow and partner-required formats.

Minimal example: upload like any file API

Same pattern as the QuickStart— swap in your key and file path.

curl -X POST "https://signaledi.com/api/upload" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@./sample.edi" \
  -F "integrationMode=EDI" \
  -F "outputMode=API"
