Check VAT status (VAT White List / Biała Lista) and KRS data for a Polish company by NIP. For entities without a KRS number (sole proprietors and civil partnerships, i.e. natural persons) personal data is limited (GDPR): the address is reduced to the town (the White List does not say whether it is a business or a home address), and bank accounts to their count — check a specific account with sprawdz_rachunek; no REGON number, registration date or PKD codes are returned for them (the ceidg field is always null). The privacy field lists what was hidden.

Bulk-check up to 30 NIPs in one call to the Ministry of Finance VAT White List: VAT status, bank accounts, REGON, KRS number and address of each entity. For entities without a KRS number (natural persons) the address is reduced to the town and bank accounts to their count, and no REGON number or registration date is returned (GDPR) — check a specific account with sprawdz_rachunek. For verifying a portfolio of counterparties. Ministry limits: max 30 NIPs per call; the Ministry's daily query limit is shared by the whole service — when it is exhausted, the tool returns an error. Does not fetch full KRS data (use sprawdz_nip for individual entities).

Look up entity data in the REGON register (Statistics Poland / GUS BIR) by NIP: REGON number, official name, legal form (legal or natural person), address (voivodeship, county, municipality). Covers ALL entities, including sole proprietors that are not in the KRS. For natural persons (GUS type F / LF) and civil partnerships (s.c.) only the NIP, name, entity type code (typ), form (forma: 'osoba fizyczna' / 'jednostka lokalna osoby fizycznej' / 'spółka cywilna'), town and activity status (status: active / ended) are returned — no REGON number, address, administrative units or dates (GDPR); the full entry is in the GUS REGON search (privacy.officialSource).

Validate a counterparty's EU VAT number in the VIES system (European Commission). For Polish (PL) numbers the address is reduced to the town, because the number may belong to a natural person (GDPR).

Generate the individual tax micro-account (for PIT/CIT/VAT payments) from a NIP. The server does not accept PESEL (personal ID) — for a PESEL compute it locally: BBAN = "101000712221" + PESEL + "0", IBAN = "PL" + ISO 7064 mod-97 check digits + BBAN (or use skanfirmy.pl/mikrorachunek, which computes it in the browser).

Add a NIP to monitoring. You get notified (via changes_since or email) when its VAT status, bank account, or registry data shown on the Ministry of Finance White List (name, address, KRS, REGON) changes. For natural persons running a business (entities without a KRS number) only the VAT status and masked bank accounts are monitored (GDPR): no name, address or REGON changes. Requires a skanfirmy API key (Authorization: Bearer, or the api_key argument). Free plan: up to 10 NIPs.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "nip": {
      "type": "string",

Return the list of NIPs you monitor, with their current VAT status and last-checked date (name is null for natural persons running a business). Each entry keeps the raw Ministry of Finance literal in status_vat and, when a status is known, adds derived language-neutral fields vat_active (boolean) and status_vat_code (active/exempt/not_registered). Requires a skanfirmy API key.

{
  "type": "object",

Return changes (VAT status, bank accounts, or registry data — name, address, KRS, REGON — from the White List) detected since a given date for the NIPs you monitor. The field property is one of: status_vat, account_added, account_removed, name, address, krs, regon. For natural persons (entities without a KRS number; natural_person: true) only status_vat, account_added and account_removed are returned, account numbers are masked (check digits + last 4, e.g. 61…2874) and name is null (GDPR); check a specific account with sprawdz_rachunek. A polling channel for agents. Requires a skanfirmy API key.

Set (or clear) a push webhook URL for your monitoring, instead of or in addition to polling. When we detect a change for a monitored NIP, we send a POST signed with HMAC-SHA256 (X-Skanfirmy-Signature header). Returns the secret ONCE. Pass an empty url to disable. Requires a skanfirmy API key. Public https addresses only (port 443).
