The VAT Validation API returns data related to the validity of a VAT number, including the country code, VAT number, company name, and company address if the VAT number is valid. If invalid, it simply indicates "valid": "false".
Key fields in the response include "valid" (true/false), "country_code", "vat_number", "registration_info" (which contains "is_registered", "name", and "address"), and "checked_at" for the timestamp of the check.
The response data is structured in JSON format. It includes a top-level object with fields indicating validity and, if valid, a nested "registration_info" object containing detailed company information.
The endpoint provides information on VAT number validity, company registration status, company name, and address. It helps users verify customer VAT numbers and maintain accurate records.
The endpoint accepts a single parameter: the VAT number to validate. Users must ensure the VAT number is formatted correctly according to EU standards for accurate validation.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates from official EU VAT registries. The API checks the validity of VAT numbers against these authoritative sources to ensure reliable information.
Typical use cases include verifying customer VAT numbers during transactions, ensuring compliance with tax regulations, and maintaining an up-to-date database of valid VAT numbers for invoicing and reporting.
Users can utilize the returned data to filter out invalid VAT numbers, enhance customer records with accurate company information, and automate compliance checks in their financial systems.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
