Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Validate Tax IDs, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Validate Tax IDs into a spreadsheet?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("taxidvalidator", "123-45-6789") into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.
How many credits does each Validate Tax IDs cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.
Can I fill a whole column at once?
Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point Validate Tax IDs at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("taxidvalidator", "123-45-6789") down like any spreadsheet function.
Does Validate Tax IDs work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.
How current is the data?
Validate Tax IDs is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.
Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?
VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Validate Tax IDs is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
