Check a whole customer or supplier list against VIES, the European Commission's official VAT validation service, in one run. For every number you get whether it is valid today, the registered company name and address (where the member state publishes them) and the VIES request date for your records.
Useful for accountants, e-commerce shops applying the reverse charge, B2B marketplaces, procurement teams onboarding suppliers, and freight companies checking a new client before accepting a load.
Why this Actor
- Messy input is fine:
hu 1234 5678,DE-123.456.789,GR...(mapped toEL) and Hungarian tax numbers like12345678-2-42are normalised automatically. - Format check first: obviously wrong numbers are flagged without calling VIES, and you are not charged for them.
- Outages handled: VIES national services are often temporarily down. The Actor retries with backoff and marks the rest as
unavailable(not charged) instead of wrongly calling them invalid.

Notes
Data comes from the official public VIES REST service of the European Commission. VIES confirms registration for intra-EU transactions only; it is not a credit check.
