(translations welcome!)

Input

URL

Check entire XHTML or HTML page by entering its HTTP URL.

Fragment

Paste well-formed XHTML fragment or complete document containing hCard.

Upload

Browse examples

API & Other

Any page by Referer

<a href="http://hcard.geekhood.net/referrer/">Validate hCards</a>

Bookmarklet

hCard?

RESTful JSON API

Send GET request to http://hcard.geekhood.net/?url=URL to validate&output=json.

Output will be roughly compatible with the Validator.nu JSON API. Likely to change in the future.

Please use this API for validation, not just as an converter/extraction tool.

If you're reporting a bug or have a suggestion, don't forget to include example hCard code.
