Load key certificate

Before calling any APIs, you will need to load your key certificate. You can use this helper function to do so.

import { loadKeyCertificate } from 'node-tra-sdk';

const { key } = await loadKeyCertificate('YOUR_KEY_FILE PATH', 'YOUR_KEY_PASSWORD');

Registration

To get details about your company you need to call registration API. You call this once. You can reuse the result in the next steps.

import { sendRegistrationRequest } from 'node-tra-sdk';

//test environment details
const hostname = 'virtual.tra.go.tz';
const path = '/efdmsRctApi/api/vfdRegReq';

const response = await sendRegistrationRequest({
  tin: 'YOUR TIN',
  certKey: 'YOUR CERT KEY',
  signKey: key, // key loaded from first step
  certSerial: 'YOUR CERT SERIAL',
  hostname: hostname,
  path: path,
});

//if successful, response.success == true
const { success, data } = response;

Token

To upload receipts/invoices you will need to provide a token to TRA API. To get the token call this helper function.

import { sendTokenRequest } from 'node-tra-sdk';

//test environment details
const hostname = 'virtual.tra.go.tz';
const path = '/efdmsRctApi/vfdtoken';

const response = await sendTokenRequest({
  username: 'USERNAME_FROM_REGISTRATION_API',
  password: 'PASSWORD_FROM_REGISTRATION_API',
  grantType: 'password',
  hostname: hostname,
  path: path,
});

// if successful, response.success == true
const { success, data } = response;

Upload invoice/receipt

import { sendUploadInvoiceRequest } from 'node-tra-sdk';

//test environment details
const hostname = 'virtual.tra.go.tz';
const path = '/efdmsRctApi/api/efdmsRctInfo';

const response = await sendUploadInvoiceRequest({
  tin: 'YOUR TIN',
  signKey: key, // key loaded from first step
  certSerial: 'YOUR CERT SERIAL',
  token: 'YOUR TOKEN',
  routingKey: 'ROUTING KEY FROM REGISTRATION API',
