Current availability of VIES, the European Commission service that validates EU VAT numbers. Per-member-state status, latency and 24h/7d uptime, from a monitor that polls all member states every 5 minutes. Use this when EU VAT number validation is failing, to tell "their VAT number is wrong" apart from "that member state's VIES endpoint is down". FREE and needs no API key.
