Connect to Sovos

Connect to the Sovos developer portal

The Sovos developer portal provides access to app registration and authentication services, making sure businesses remain compliant with tax regulations through the TINCheck REST API.

The TINCheck REST API lets businesses remain compliant by delivering real-time updates and adjustments. Sovos monitors tax regulations, making sure the API is always updated with the latest requirements.

To start using TINCheck REST API, you must:

Create a account in the production environment of the developer portal
Create an app in the API Admin that lets you generate an API key and a secret
Copy the authentication keys (API key and secret) from your app
Generate an authentication token to use most API endpoints

Create a developer account

To integrate with the TINCheck REST API for the first time, you need to create an account in the production environment of the API Admin.

Go to the production registration page.
Enter the required information.
