I've been working on a side project that solves a problem I kept running into: validating Italian fiscal codes (codice fiscale), VAT numbers, and IBANs.
The problem: Every time I needed to validate these codes in a project, I'd end up copying snippets from StackOverflow or rewriting the same validation logic. I wanted something more reliable and easy to integrate.
What it does:
Validates the formal correctness of these codes
Extracts useful data (e.g., extracts birth date, gender, and municipality from fiscal codes)
Verifies IBAN validity
I've made a free tier available for anyone who wants to try it, and all the documentation is on GitHub with practical examples.Repository: https://github.com/samutrova/ValidateIT
For those who want to test it right away, here's the link to RapidAPI: https://rapidapi.com/samutrovarelli/api/validateit-italian-d...
I'd love to get your feedback! If you've dealt with similar validation problems, how did you solve them? Are there features you think would be useful to add?
