@aral There’s a VAT SOAP api now http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl … but it doesn’t help when the service is down, like the last week or so :/
Hey @ASemetaEU, can we get an open API for EU VAT number verification please? Happy to help you implement it. (http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/viesquer.do …)

@drewm Ingesting SOAP may cause diarrhoea. Just sayin’ -
@aral I’m with you on that one. We use your JSON proxy, but the underlying service is sooo patchy. -
@drewm Indeed. Me thinks they need to open the algorithms. -
@aral But it’s a database, right? So it needs to be looked up centrally. -
@drewm If we had the algorithms, we could at least verify if a number was in a valid format, if not necessarily registered. -
@aral@drewm Ah, that's public. I do this (format validation) on my site and take the risk. I use this gem:https://github.com/yolk/valvat/blob/master/lib/valvat/syntax.rb …

@aral This doesn't work anymore? http://isvat.appspot.com/ -
@DeviaVir Looks broken. Regardless, it just screen scrapes—not a long term solution. -
@aral Oh lol, it even has your name on it at the bottom. Didn't notice that at first - End of conversation
