# Pre-flight a Dutch supplier invoice: VAT ID, Peppol, IBAN

**Use case:** 

Before an AI agent or accounts-payable bot pays or onboards a Dutch supplier: checks the VAT ID live in EU VIES, looks up the Peppol ID, checks the invoice VAT arithmetic and Dutch rates, flags missing reverse-charge wording on cross-border B2B invoices, and gives the SEPA settlement date. One ALLOW, REVIEW or BLOCK verdict with the reasons.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/lerider/payee-check.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
