ipa

What problem does it solve?

The ipa skill helps you quickly locate official information about Italian Public Administration (PA) entities, including PEC email addresses, office contacts, and e-invoicing recipient codes, without manually navigating complex IPA resources.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Official PA entity lookup (IPA registry): Search by entity name or acronym to retrieve the correct IPA identifiers needed for further queries.
• PEC and official email discovery: Retrieve certified email (PEC) and other certified electronic delivery addresses for public bodies.
• E-invoicing recipient codes (SDI/Codice Destinatario): Find the destination code for electronic invoicing using either the entity’s IPA code or its Italian fiscal code.
• Office (UO) and internal contact directory: Find specific internal organizational units, including contact details for municipalities, ministries, ministries’ offices, and other PA bodies.
• Email ownership verification: Check whether an email/PEC belongs to a PA and identify the corresponding entity type and code.
• Domicilio digitale lookup: Retrieve digital domicile information for an entity from its fiscal code.
• Robust fallbacks when search results are missing: Automatically switch between IPA web service endpoints and a CKAN full-text fallback to improve hit rates.

Quick Start

Ask: find the PEC of the “Comune di Bologna” and include the verification link.
