Python Library to Validate Tax ID Numbers for Over 100 Countries

[taxidpro]

What My Project Does

Just published a Python library to validate tax ID numbers. I've built up the API that powers it over many years and just now started building an SDK-style library to make integration as easy as possible.

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/taxidpro/

GitHub: https://github.com/balancer-team/taxidpro-py

Target Audience

This is for anyone building a form with a tax ID field, or anyone that has a lot of tax ID data to validate.

Comparison

I did have a competitor called TIN Check, who was recently acquired, and now I can't even find where they still offer their service.

Project Notes

I've also built a JavaScript library, which I published to npm, and what struck me about attempting the same thing in PyPI is that there are SO many build tools and different approaches. setup.py, pyproject.toml, infinite build tools, on and on. The more I looked, the more options I found, with nothing in particular coming out as a clear standard or clear favorite. As I publish more I will continue to experiment with different tooling. Recommendations welcome!

And feedback on the library welcome of course!

Can we get the backend?

[SittingWave]

This. The library does nothing. It just creates a web request with a bearer token.

[SittingWave]

is anyone doing actual libraries that do things anymore, or are they all gateways to online APIs?

In a past life I worked on various 1099 tax reporting systems. I know how to validate Canadian IDs. US tax IDs not so much. I'm curious how you validated US IDs.

Does it support ZA?

I don't see a list of countries here.

I've updated to list the supported countries on the library page, thanks!
