South African Tools

Essential business verification and compliance tools for South Africa.

Available Tools​

  • CIPC: Company registration lookup and status verification.
  • B-BBEE: Compliance level verification.

ID Number Validation​

The SDK can validate ID numbers offline (locally) without making API calls.

TypeScript​

const info = client.zaTools.idValidation.validate('9001015009087');
if (info.isValid) {
  console.log(`Citizen: ${info.isSaCitizen}, Gender: ${info.gender}`);
}

Python​

info = client.za_tools.validate_id("9001015009087")
if info.is_valid:
    print(f"Born: {info.date_of_birth}")

Go​

info := client.ZATools().ValidateID("9001015009087")

CIPC Company Lookup​

company = await client.za_tools.cipc.lookup("2020/123456/07")
if company:
    print(f"{company.name} is {company.status}")
