Verification VAT numbers VIES website

[speedway]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a flow that verifies if a VAT number is active according to the EU website http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/?locale=en

They have an API that can be used to verify this: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl

I started for this from an other API flow but I do not see how I can reuse this in this case.

The enlcosed flow has a VAT number in a second file input file which can be validated via the AP.

Thanks for the support.

hello all

I am trying to have the validation for the Slovakian VAT numbers as well for my internal processes. Website: https://www.financnasprava.sk/sk/elektronicke-sluzby/verejne-sluzby/zoznamy/detail/_101c6128-e1f6-4a... 

To have the process executed, I need to file in here:

I have tried to adjust the same process as for VIES, but not completely. Could someone help here?

@Kingazawora, as this is a new/different solution you are looking for I would recommend to open a new thread for this. Feel free to tag me if the Community is not able to help in the new thread.

Hi all, 

I had a perfectly working workflow for years - though didn't use it the last +- 2 years and now I seem to get an error. May I kindly ask whether someone could have a look at this workflow? I have a decent basic knowledge of Alteryx, but the API functionality is a bit above my level of expertise. Would be VERY grateful if someone could solve this.

Kind regards,
Christoph

Hi @ChristophVW,

the solution was already provided here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Verification-VAT-numbers-VIES-...

You need to add an header to the Download Tool

Then everything should be fine.
