The Sales Tax USA Data Capture API allows you to accurately check sales tax rates in the United States based on a zip code. Its structured response provides a complete breakdown of the different tax levels that apply to a transaction, including state, municipal, county, and additional taxes.
It also provides the monetary values corresponding to each of these levels, as well as the total applicable taxes and the final price including taxes. This API is ideal for online stores and e-commerce platforms that need to calculate taxes in real time during the purchase process, for accounting or financial applications that require tax breakdowns by region, for developers looking to integrate automatic local tax calculations without worrying about the specific laws of each jurisdiction, and for billing or point-of-sale solutions that operate in multiple locations within the country. With support for all zip codes and constant rate updates, this API facilitates tax management and ensures that business operations comply with local and state regulations. By including both rates and pre-calculated amounts, it allows users to choose between performing their own calculations or directly using the results provided.
To use this endpoint, you must specify an amount and a zip code in the parameter.
It also has optional parameters where you can specify the city and state.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs.

But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
