Input

Field	Required	Description
`vatNumbers`	Yes	List of VAT numbers with country prefix (e.g. `DK34223858`, `IE6388047V`)
`requesterVat`	No	Your own EU VAT number. When set, VIES returns a consultation number tied to your VAT as proof of the check

{
  "vatNumbers": ["IE6388047V", "DK34223858"],
  "requesterVat": "DE123456789"
}

Output

One dataset row per VAT number:

Field	Description
`vat`	Normalized VAT number with country prefix
`valid`	`true` / `false` from VIES; `null` if no definitive answer
`name`	Registered trader name
`address`	Registered trader address
`country`	ISO country code (EU member state or `XI`)
`checked_at`	ISO timestamp of the check
`consultation_number`	VIES consultation number (only when `requesterVat` is provided)
`status`	`ok`, `unavailable`, `invalid_input`, etc.

Pricing

$0.03 per definitive check (pay-per-event vat-check). You are charged only when VIES returns a clear valid/invalid answer. VIES outages and non-definitive responses are not charged.

FAQ

Which countries are supported?
All EU member states via the official VIES REST API, plus Northern Ireland (XI). Numbers must include the 2-letter country prefix.

What is a consultation number?
Provide your own VAT as requesterVat. VIES then returns a consultation number you can keep as evidence that the check was performed against your VAT identity.

Why is valid sometimes null?
When VIES is down or returns an error, the Actor reports status: unavailable and does not charge. Retry later.

Is there a rate limit?
Requests to VIES are paced (about 5/s) with automatic retries on transient errors so bulk lists stay reliable.
