Quickstart

Make your first VAT validation request in under 2 minutes.

Sign up, grab a test key, paste the snippet.

1. Get a test API key

Sign up at vatverify.dev/signup. Your dashboard shows a test key like vtv_test_xxx. Use this one while you're integrating.

Test keys skip the plan quota entirely and return deterministic responses. Perfect for CI.

2. Validate your first VAT number

cURL

curl "https://api.vatverify.dev/v1/validate?vat_number=IE6388047V" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer vtv_test_xxx"
# { "data": { "valid": true, "company": { "name": "Apple Distribution International Ltd", ... }, ... }, ... }
