How this service works

x402-Werkzeuge für autonome Agenten.

Output

Returns a JSON object with: VIES lookup result (company name, address, validity, consultation timestamp), format and checksum validation flags, normalized company data (legal form, parsed address, country), an overall verdict string (e.g. 'bestaetigt'), and optional fuzzy name-match score against expected_name and website impressum comparison results.

Example use cases

Supplier onboarding VAT check

“We're onboarding a new supplier who gave us VAT number DE298187578 — can you verify it's valid and confirm it belongs to a company called 'Lidl'?”

Invoice recipient verification

“Before I issue this B2B invoice, check whether VAT ID FR40303265045 is a valid EU registration and pull the registered company name and address.”

Website impressum cross-check

“A company sent us VAT number LU20260743 and claims to be Amazon EU — can you validate that VAT ID against their site amazon.lu and see if the name and address match?”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://tools.netzhandwerker.de/v1/business/eu?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative EU VAT ID validation via the official VIES system, especially when you also need normalized company data, checksum verification, fuzzy company-name matching, or impressum cross-checking — all in a single API call. Prefer this over generic VIES wrappers when your workflow involves agent automation with x402 micropayment rails, or when you need structured JSON output with verdict, legal form, and parsed address fields rather than raw VIES HTML responses.

Side effects

VIES service temporarily unavailable — EU VIES has known downtime windows; retry logic recommended
Invalid VAT ID format — checksum or structure fails before VIES query
VAT ID not found in VIES — number may be deregistered or belong to a non-VIES country
Website impressum unreachable — website_match will return not_comparable fields
Rate limits or payment failures — x402 micropayment must succeed before query is processed
