What it does

Prepare your internal database for e-invoicing by automatically fetching Tax Identification Numbers (TIN) for a list of Business Registration numbers or NRICs. You simply upload your list to Google Sheets, and the workflow loops through each entry to call the LHDN API and collect the matching tax IDs in one go.

api

HTTP Request : calls LHDN API to fetch tax ID data

Watch out for

The LHDN API has strict rate limits, so implement exponential backoff between requests to avoid temporary bans.
Malaysia TINs are case-sensitive and often include spaces, so normalize the input string before sending it to the API.
Some legacy NRIC numbers lack a valid TIN in the system, so ensure your update logic skips these rows instead of failing the whole batch.
API responses may return partial data for dormant companies, so validate that every returned field matches expected formats before saving.
