Hello!!!
Today I am launching my latest small project 😉 As you know a while ago I talked about the new VAT Rules and MOSS. And I found some nice utilities and APIS, most of them are not FREE so I decided to build one and share it!
EUVAT.ga
This is a FREE to use without limitations API microservice, to validate EU VAT numbers, calculate rates, get EU rates, detect customer country and VAT etc..
I have built it using Laravel “Microframework” Lumen so I could learn a bit more about laravel and also provide a tool that I will also use for our projects.
I use other components as GEOIP to detect visitors country and APC to cache the results when we query the european database.
API ENDPOINTS
- Get company info
https://euvat.ga/api/info/VATNUMBER - Validate VAT Number
https://euvat.ga/api/validate/VATNUMBER - Get all European VAT rates
https://euvat.ga/rates.json - Get rate for a specific country
https://euvat.ga/api/rate/COUNTRYCODE - Is European country?
https://euvat.ga/api/iseu/COUNTRYCODE - Get VAT by IP
https://euvat.ga/api/ip/IPADDRESS - Get VAT by IP auto detect
https://euvat.ga/api/ip/detect - Calculate amount to pay
https://euvat.ga/api/calc/COUNTRYCODE/AMOUNT
Country code needs to be in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, Example ES=Spain, DK=Denmark etc. List here.
If you are a Developer, you can use the API points or you can download the source code and run it on your server. All for FREE!
