Country-Specific Validation

GoRoute automatically applies country-specific validation rules:

# Validation automatically applies CIUS based on receiver country
response = requests.post(
    "https://app.goroute.ai/peppol-api/api/v1/validate",
    headers={
        "X-API-Key": "your_api_key",
        "Content-Type": "application/xml"
    },
    data=invoice_xml
)

result = response.json()
# CIUS validation included in results:
# {
#     "valid": false,
#     "cius_applied": "XRechnung",
#     "cius_errors": [
#         {"rule": "BR-DE-1", "message": "Leitweg-ID is required for B2G"}
#     ]
