VIES API
VAT Information and Exchange System
Integrate the VIES API API with the Python API
Setup the VIES API API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Python API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate VIES API and Python remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular VIES API and Python Actions#
Write Python and use any of the 350k+ PyPi packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Python docs to learn more.
Overview of VIES API#
The VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) API lets you validate European VAT numbers. It's a tool for checking the validity of VAT numbers issued by any EU Member State, which is crucial for B2B transactions within the EU to ensure VAT compliance. In Pipedream, you can use the VIES API to automate workflows related to customer verification, invoicing, and compliance checks, streamlining the process of doing business across European borders.
Connect VIES API#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
vies_api: {
type: "app",
app: "vies_api",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://viesapi.eu/${this.vies_api.$auth.environment}/check/account/status`,
headers: {
"accept": `application/xml`,
},
auth: {
username: `${this.vies_api.$auth.api_key_id}`,
password: `${this.vies_api.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Python#
Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.
This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.
Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:
Connect Python#
def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
# Reference data from previous steps
print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
# Return data for use in future steps
return {"foo": {"test":True}}
