VAT number validation, EU VIES

$0.01 per call · failed calls are never charged · no account needed: a card key or USDC

Company check API: code samples in curl, Python and Node, and monthly plans.

Check an EU VAT number against the European Commission's VIES service: valid or not, with the registered name and address where the member state shares them. Any spacing (SE556703748501, DE 123 456 789; EL or GR for Greece, XI for Northern Ireland). Or verify a business by name: found or not in the French, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish registers. Use to check a B2B customer before invoicing without VAT, or to confirm a supplier.

Request

Over HTTP, with a card key from /credits:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://glyphcall.com/vat/validate?vat=SE556703748501"

Or one of your 3 free calls, no key:

curl "https://glyphcall.com/vat/validate?vat=SE556703748501&trial=1"

Without a key, the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so an agent with a wallet pays per call in USDC (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Solana over x402; Base or Tempo over MPP) and retries.
