Pip install vatify – EU VAT validation in Python

Hacker News

I’ve been building Vatify, an API for EU VAT validation, VAT rates and calculation. Today I shipped an official Python SDK → available on PyPI: from vatify import Vatify client = Vatify(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY") res = client.validate_vat("DE123456789") print(res.valid, res.country_code, res.name) Why? Many SaaS founders and e-commerce devs struggle with EU VAT compliance. Most existing libraries are outdated or incomplete. This SDK gives you validation, rates, and calculation in a clean Python interface. Links: PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/vatify/ GitHub: https://github.com/vatifytax/vatify-python I’d love feedback from anyone who’s had to deal with EU VAT in their projects
