Ride vs vatlayer API

Live Public Transport In Your Pocket

Trains, buses and everything else - Ride is a simple and practical real-time public transport app for all travelers from tourists to commuters.
Ride transforms the complicated and daunting task of navigating your way through London and distills it into really simple, easily digestible pieces. For example, you can quickly add a widget to your phone to see what buses will be arriving outside your hotel. Or you can add a widget to see if there are any delays on the train line you need to use. You can even get notified when the delays go away.
It's not just for today either, you can plan journeys and even check for planned engineering works any time from now up until 6 months in the future!
There are many other delightful experiences contained within the app, such as a live map that actually shows the trains trundling their way to their destination and an Apple Watch app that shows you at a glance how long until your last train home.
The app is currently being featured in the UK App Store (both the iOS App Store and the Apple Watch App Store).

Free VAT Validation & EU VAT Rates API

Vatlayer is a simple JSON-based REST API offering instant EU VAT number validation, accurate VAT rates for all 28 current EU member states & VAT compliant price calculation.

Its system is secured by HTTPS and focused on ease of use & integration, delivering all VAT data in lightweight and highly portable JSON format.

This level of compatibility, paired with startup- and developer-friendly pricing and a full stack of features makes the vatlayer API a perfect VAT rate automation and number validation interface for individuals and businesses.

At vatlayer we aim to provide the highest possible level of data accuracy and response speed possible. In order to achieve this for every API request, the vatlayer API relies on multiple servers and a distinct fallback & validation mechanism, consisting of a fairly large number of different data sources (instances), which include the European Commission's databases. If one instance fails to deliver an accurate data response (which does not even occur in 99.9% of the cases), the next highest one is assigned with the respective request. Only this way can we provide a consistent service and API living up to our customer's expectations.
