## Pricing

from $33.50 / 1,000 eori registration checks

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## EU EORI Customs Registration Check

A per-identity **validity check**: submit EORI numbers, get one official validity answer each. Billed **per definitive validity answer** — valid or not-valid — while malformed input and service faults are returned but never charged.

### How it behaves

Each EORI number is validated against the European Commission's official EORI validation service. Any **definitive validity answer bills** — a **valid** registration (with the official request date; if the trader has not consented to publish their identity, name/address are honest `null` with a reason) and a **not-valid** result (also carrying the official request date) are both completed official answers and are both billed. A malformed EORI number is unparseable and not billed; a service outage (SOAP fault / HTTP error) is unavailable and not billed.

### What you get

One record per submitted number. Each definitive answer carries `registered` (true/false), the status description, and the official request date; a valid registration also carries the trader's name/address verbatim (honest `null` with a reason when consent is withheld). Malformed input and service-unavailable outcomes are distinguished in the `outcome` field and are **not** billed. A run with no definitive answer at all fails loud and charges nothing.

### Billing

| Event | FREE | BRONZE | SILVER | GOLD+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `apify-actor-start` (one-time actor start) | $0.02 | $0.02 | $0.02 | $0.02 |
| `eori-registration-check` (per completed official answer) | $0.05 | $0.045 | $0.04 | $0.0335 |

Charged once per definitive validity answer (valid **or** not-valid). Malformed input and service-fault outcomes are emitted but never charged. Start fee $0.02.

# Actor input Schema

## `eoriNumbers` (type: `array`):

EORI numbers to validate against the official EU Commission EORI service (e.g. IT00159560366). Each is 2-letter country code + identifier. A completed validation (the service returns a definitive valid result) bills; a not-valid result, or a service outage, is emitted but never billed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "eoriNumbers": [
    "IT00159560366",
    "BE0417497106",
    "DE123456789012345"
  ]
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "eoriNumbers": [
        "IT00159560366",
        "BE0417497106",
        "DE123456789012345"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("nexgenwatch/eu-eori-customs-registration-check").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "eoriNumbers": [
        "IT00159560366",
        "BE0417497106",
        "DE123456789012345",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("nexgenwatch/eu-eori-customs-registration-check").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "eoriNumbers": [
    "IT00159560366",
    "BE0417497106",
    "DE123456789012345"
  ]
}' |
apify call nexgenwatch/eu-eori-customs-registration-check --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nexgenwatch/eu-eori-customs-registration-check"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
