API for Developers & AI Agents
Built for developers & AI agents
A VAT compliance API you can call from code
Live VAT number validation (VIES + HMRC), EU/UK VAT rates, reverse-charge eligibility, and registration checks — as plain HTTP endpoints. No dashboard, no SDK, no account manager. Get a key in one request and start calling in under a minute.
curl -X POST https://snapshot.vat.support/api/v1/keys \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"email":"you@example.com","label":"my-agent"}'
Returns an API key instantly, with 20 free calls. No card required.
