Open Data

Vendors.ie Open Datasets

The Vendors.ie verified Irish vendor dataset is open under CC BY 4.0. Pull the JSON directly, cite us, and you can build whatever you like on top. Datasets refresh on each build, with a separate weekly Peppol matcher feeding the e-invoicing slice.

Available datasets

Pull the data as JSON

Each endpoint returns a single JSON object with a small envelope (count, license, source) wrapping the dataset. Pretty-printed for easy curl piping. Cached for one hour at the edge.

Curl examples

Quick start

Pipe through jq for filtering and shaping. The endpoints set Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600, so polling every minute is wasteful.

Every vendor

curl -s https://vendors.ie/data/vendors.json | jq '.data | length'

Peppol-ready slice

curl -s https://vendors.ie/data/peppol-ready-ireland.json | jq '.data[] | {name, website, peppol_evidence_url}'

Dataset catalogue

curl -s https://vendors.ie/data/index.json | jq '.datasets[] | {name, url, count}'
