API_Connection to the checker of VAT numbers in Slovakia

[Kingazawora]

Hello

I am referring to design of the similar solution to this one:

The website for Slovakia is:

Detail - PFS (financnasprava.sk)

When I enter information here:

I am receiving information like this:

How could I get the information provided by the Slovakian Tax Administration with Alteryx?

Hi @Kingazawora,

I was able to replicate your issue in 2020.4.5

I expect this is somehow related to the Download Tool in combination with the Dynamic Input in this older version causing this issue. The Dynamic Input tries to read the file while it is still downloading.

This is how I solved it

Simply add a "Block Until Done" in front of the Download Tool and then everything should be OK. Please keep AMP enabled ... for some reason it tends to fail when disabling it. 

BTW: 2020.4 is already out of support. Please take into consideration to upgrade your server environment.

@BrandonB  - would you help to find a way as in my initial post and as per solution for PL (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/VAT-ID-Poland-API-check/td-p/1...) or EU (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Verification-VAT-numbers-VIES-...) to check based on real upload rather than download?

@Kingazawora this is because there isn't an API for the site. It would appear that dynamically downloading the XML file is the best approach given what they provide

The issue is that on desktop, this solution works, however on the server it does not in the gallery and i get following error (attached screenshot).

Zip file on the server/gallery does not download fully.
