## About

## What it does
VAT Number Validator checks whether a VAT number is valid. Send a VAT value in the request body, including the 2-letter country code prefix, and get a boolean result back in `data`.

Use it when you need to confirm a customer, supplier, or invoice tax ID before storing it, billing against it, or passing it into another workflow. The service is focused on a single check, so the response stays simple and easy to consume in validation flows.

The request schema only accepts one field: `vat`. The response schema only returns `data`, which is `true` or `false` depending on the result. That makes it a good fit for signup forms, tax compliance checks, and order systems that need a quick VAT verification step without extra parsing.

## Usage

Authenticate with an ApyHub API key in the `apy-token` header.
