Maventa has released a standalone tool for looking up and exploring participants in the Peppol network: Peppol participant lookup.
This is not part of the Maventa product itself. It is a free, publicly available tool for anyone who works with Peppol and wants to understand the network better. Whether you are debugging a delivery issue, learning about Peppol identifiers, or simply curious about which participants and document types exist, this tool is for you.
This tool is intended for debugging, testing, and learning purposes only. It is not meant for day-to-day use by Peppol end users to check if a recipient is reachable via Peppol.
The tool is free to use within reasonable limits but provided as-is without any guarantees.
What you can do
Participant ID lookup
Look up any Peppol participant using their full identifier (e.g. 0216:003734782098). The tool performs a real Peppol lookup and also checks whether the participant is listed in Peppol Directory. You will see:
- Detailed information about the participant
- Which document types they are registered to receive
- Technical details about endpoints, access points, and certificates
Browse schemes and participants
Peppol uses many different identifier schemes across countries and organisations, which can sometimes be confusing. The Browse schemes & participants button lets you browse all available schemes, see which countries they apply to, and how many participants of each type exist in the network.
You can also browse a sample of participants within any scheme to get a concrete understanding of how the network is structured and used in practice.
Browse document types
The Browse document types button lets you explore the different document types registered in Peppol Directory, sorted by popularity or alphabetically. This helps you understand what kinds of documents are actually being exchanged across the network, beyond just invoices and credit notes.
Name search
Search for participants by name. This is based on data from Peppol Directory, fetched daily and stored locally. This means:
- Searches are fast and reliable, even when Peppol Directory itself is slow or unresponsive
- Newly added participants will appear the next day
- You can find a participant by name, then click through to perform a full Peppol lookup
Data freshness
All browsing and search features are based on data from Peppol Directory, updated daily. The data is at most one day behind the live directory. The participant ID lookup, however, always performs a real-time query against the Peppol network.
