Connects directly to the European Commission's VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) to validate EU VAT numbers in real time. This is purpose-built for one thing: checking if a VAT number is registered and active across EU member states. Reach for it when you're building invoicing systems, onboarding flows for B2B platforms, or compliance tools that need to verify tax IDs before processing transactions. It's part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, so you can either use it standalone or access it through their unified gateway alongside 673+ other data sources. The ask_pipeworx wrapper lets you query in natural language instead of calling tools directly.
