Validate EU VAT identifiers against the official European Commission VIES service
(ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies). Give it a list of VAT numbers; get back, for
each, whether the number is registered, the trader name and address VIES returns, and
the official request date and identifier — the evidence a finance or onboarding team
needs to prove a counterparty's VAT status.
Input
A list of VAT identifiers, each as a 2-letter country code plus the number
(IE6388047V, DE811128135). Greece uses EL. Spaces are ignored.
{ "vatNumbers": ["IE6388047V", "DE811128135", "LU26375245"] }
What is and is not an answer
A completed answer is one VIES resolved — whether the number is valid or invalid. Both are answers you came for and both are billed. A member-state outage (VIES reachable but that country's registry is temporarily down), an unparseable id, or a network error is not an answer and is not billed; those rows are returned in the "issues" view with a reason. If a run resolves no answer at all, it fails loud and charges nothing.
Pricing
| Event | FREE | BRONZE | SILVER | GOLD+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Actor start (apify-actor-start) | $0.02 | $0.02 | $0.02 | $0.02 |
Completed VAT answer (vat-answer) | $0.05 | $0.045 | $0.04 | $0.0335 |
Prices are the filed pay-per-event amounts per plan tier (PLATINUM/DIAMOND match GOLD).
apify-actor-start is the reserved one-time platform charge. A number VIES reports as
invalid is a completed answer and is charged; outages and unparseable inputs are
not.
Source & pacing
Official EU VIES REST API, queried anonymously (no key). The actor paces itself at 2 requests/second with a contact User-Agent, and bounds a run to 200 numbers.
