# Pluryfact by MAECLY > Free Chrome extension (Manifest V3), licensed AGPL-3.0, that bulk-downloads a taxpayer's own electronic tax documents (comprobantes electrónicos) from SRI en Línea, the online portal of Ecuador's tax authority (Servicio de Rentas Internas, SRI). It works inside the user's own browser tab, with the session the user opened; it never asks for or stores the SRI password, and it has no servers and no analytics. Status: in development, not yet published on the Chrome Web Store, no release date announced. The extension's source repository is private while in development. ## Canonical pages The primary landing is in Spanish; the English page mirrors it section for section. The extension's interface is in Spanish. - [Spanish landing](https://pluryfact.maecly.com/) - [English landing](https://pluryfact.maecly.com/en/) - [Agent guidance](https://pluryfact.maecly.com/agents.txt) - [Licence: AGPL-3.0](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html) ## What it does - Both inboxes of SRI en Línea: received documents (comprobantes recibidos) and issued documents (comprobantes emitidos). - Period: one day, a date range, a month or a whole year. Issued documents are available up to yesterday; received ones up to today. - Received documents can be filtered by issuer RUC or business name (accent- and case-insensitive). - Formats: the authorised XML (fetched from the SRI's public authorisation web service at cel.sri.gob.ec by access key), the RIDE as PDF, and the TXT report of the listing. - Output: one ZIP named pluryfact___.zip, organised as pluryfact/////___.xml|.pdf, with TXT reports under pluryfact///reportes/. - Access keys (49 digits: issue date, document type, issuer RUC, environment, series, sequence, numeric code, emission type, check digit) are validated with their modulo-11 check digit. - Few queries: received documents are queried one month at a time (a year is 12 queries); issued documents one day at a time, because that SRI screen does not accept ranges. - Live progress with a "file strip" of periods (one tab per month or day); expected documents versus files obtained. - The popup can be closed and the download continues; the extension icon badge shows progress (for example 4/12), "!" when attention is needed and a check mark when done. System notifications only when finished, when the session expires, or on an error. - Detects that the SRI session expired (sessions last about 20 minutes), keeps what was downloaded and offers "Reanudar" (Resume) for the missing periods only. - Download history page similar to chrome://downloads. - Pace "kind to the SRI": one query at a time with random pauses; a "gentle" setting doubles the pauses. - Diagnostic log stored in the browser with RUC and access keys masked. - Eight colour themes (Pluryfact default, Tabularium, Ledgera, Factrix, XMLote, Comproflow, Comprobox, Fiscabox), each light and dark. ## Permissions - Host srienlinea.sri.gob.ec/comprobantes-electronicos-internet/*: press Consultar and download files on the documents screen with the user's session. - Host cel.sri.gob.ec/*: request the authorised XML for each access key from the SRI's public service. - storage: progress, history and settings in the browser. - scripting: activate the extension in an SRI tab that was already open. - notifications: tell the user when a download finishes or the session expires. - Nothing else: no tabs, cookies, history, downloads or other-site permissions. ## Limits - Not an official SRI tool and not affiliated with the SRI. RIDEs are printed representations; the authorised XML is the document with tax validity. - The user signs in to SRI en Línea themselves; Pluryfact does not log in. - Pluryfact does NOT solve or bypass captchas. The received-documents query uses an invisible reCAPTCHA; if the SRI shows a challenge, Pluryfact pauses and the user solves it. - Because sessions last about 20 minutes, a full year may need resuming two or three times. - Old issued documents may arrive without XML: the SRI web service rejects issue dates outside its allowed range; Pluryfact then tries the portal and reports what it could not fetch. - Chrome only (tested). No Excel, accounting ledgers or ATS export. - Not yet installable. ## Compared with alternatives Based on each product's public listing on 13 November 2026 (products were not installed or tested; anything a listing does not say is "not stated"): XML Manager (Chrome extension, about 3,000 users), Descargador Masivo SRI by docu.ec (extension that sends the SRI session cookie to its servers; free for recent periods, one-off payment for long ones), ContaBot Pro (paid licence), Descargador de Comprobantes SRI (public code on GitHub without a licence), Comprobantes SRI by CUENCOR (paid desktop app with Excel and ATS), recibo.ec (web service, free up to 200 a month, optionally takes the SRI password), plus PlusFactura, Factunexo and Tribufy (SaaS). None of them claims to solve captchas. Pluryfact's difference: free, AGPL-3.0, no password and no session cookie leave the browser, XML + RIDE + TXT in one sorted ZIP, issuer filter and resume after an expired session. Others are ahead on accounting reports, unattended sync and track record. Full research: docs/investigacion/competencia.md in the extension repository (private). ## Publisher MAECLY, made in Quito.
