API Details

This API allows you to calculate sales tax rates and amounts for your sales transactions. You can pass in the details of a transaction, including the shipping origin and destination (street, city, state, country), the products sold, and the quantities. The API will then return the appropriate sales tax rates and amounts based on the provided information. This can be particularly useful for e-commerce platforms where sales tax needs to be calculated in real-time during the checkout process.
