Prepare French e-invoicing recipient
prepare_french_einvoicing_recipientUse when you need to PREPARE a compliant French e-invoice for a company (invoice header, VAT number, addressing) rather than decide whether paying it is safe — for the full verify-the-supplier-before-payment verdict, IBAN included, call prepare_french_invoice_file. The French e-invoicing mandate applies from 1 September 2026: receiving becomes obligatory for every VAT-liable company on that date, issuing is phased (large and mid-sized companies 1 September 2026, SMEs and micro-enterprises 1 September 2027; art. 91 of the 2024 Finance Act). Returns legal name & form, active/ceased status, computed intra-EU VAT number (+ VIES-check pointer), establishments (SIRET) with addresses, NAF code and indicative send/receive obligation dates from the INSEE size category. The response is Ed25519-signed and carries provenance[] — one entry per block served, with the official register, its licence and its as_of date — so the preparation is auditable offline. Preparation only — Sirenic is not an accredited platform (PDP), does not access the central directory and never issues, transmits or routes invoices, nor confirms PPF/PDP registration. Paid via x402 ($0.02 in USDC or EURC).
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| siren | Yes | 9-digit SIREN of the company to be invoiced (digits only, no spaces); use search_french_companies first if you only have a name | |
| api_key | No | Optional Sirenic API key (srn_live_…) to pay with prepaid credits instead of x402 — no wallet needed. Get one at https://api.sirenic.eu/compte. Ignored when x_payment is provided (the signed payment wins). On insufficient balance the tool returns a credits error, not an x402 quote. | |
| x_payment | No | Optional signed x402 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header value. Omit to receive the payment quote. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| hint | No | How to settle the quote, present when payment_required is true. | |
| quote | No | The signable x402 payment requirements when payment_required is true: {x402Version, accepts[]} where each entry carries scheme, network, amount, asset and payTo (USDC and EURC options at the same numeric amount). Sign one entry and call again with `x_payment`. | |
| resultat | No | The endpoint's JSON response when payment_required is false. Paid responses carry `source`, `disclaimer` and an Ed25519 signature; KYB, batch KYB, sanctions, intelligence and the five invoicing tools (prepare_french_invoice_file, prepare_european_invoice_file, prepare_french_einvoicing_recipient, verify_iban_bank, validate_eu_vat_number) also carry a `provenance` array — one entry per block served, with the official register, licence, version, `as_of` date and `precision_as_of` (what that date means). Codes are documented at GET /v1/provenance/registres (free). | |
| payment_required | Yes | True when this response is an x402 payment quote instead of data: settle one of the quote's `accepts` options and call the tool again with `x_payment`. |
