VatchexGreece

An Elixir library to easily pull company information from the RgWsPublic2 SOAP web service (new since 2023-04-20) of the Greek General Secretariat of Information Systems for Public Administration (GSIS) using the Tax Identification Number (Αριθμός Φορολογικού Μητρώου, abbreviated as "ΑΦΜ" or "Α.Φ.Μ.").

Note: this project is a volunteer effort and not in any way affiliated with GSIS or the data service providers of the Greek Ministry of Finance.

Changelog

v0.8.0

• Replaced HTTPoison with Req.
• New fetch/1 and fetch!/1 functions that deprecate the chaining of new/4 and get/1.

v0.7.0

• Now compatible with the RgWsPublic2 SOAP web service (new since 2023-04-20).
• Now possible to make SOAP API calls using different credentials in %Auth{} structs, e.g. for multi-tenant setups.
• Now needs no application setup in config.exs or mix.exs, thanks to getting rid of the Soap library due to parsing issues, and because it seems abandoned and not particularly robust to begin with.
• XML parsing is now handled directly with SweetXml.
• Actual logging of errors in the %Results{} struct means you can find out what went wrong.
• Actual handling of errors (with {:ok, ...} and {:error, ...} tuples along the pipeline across all modules means that no API call or parsing of the XML response body is made unless no errors have popped up.
