The BIN Checker API is a powerful tool designed to improve the security and reliability of online transactions by providing accurate, real-time information about credit cards based on their Bank Identifier Number (BIN). As a fundamental component of e-commerce and financial services, this API plays a crucial role in mitigating the risks associated with fraudulent activities and ensuring the integrity of digital transactions.
In essence, the BIN Checker API leverages the bank identification number, the first six digits of a credit card, to retrieve relevant information about the issuing institution. This includes the bank name, country of origin, card type and other essential information. By analyzing this data, companies can make informed decisions about the validity and authenticity of credit card transactions, thus protecting their operations from potential threats.
One of the strengths of the BIN Checker API is its real-time validation capability. As transactions occur, the API quickly processes BIN data, providing instant feedback on the legitimacy of the credit card used. This real-time validation is essential to prevent fraudulent activity and ensure that only valid transactions are made, contributing to a more secure and reliable online environment.
In addition, BIN Checker's API is designed to integrate seamlessly with a variety of platforms and applications. Its user-friendly interface and standardized output make it adaptable to different systems, allowing users to incorporate this tool into their existing infrastructure with ease. Whether integrated into payment gateways, e-commerce platforms or mobile applications, the API adds a layer of security without compromising the user experience.
Accuracy is paramount when it comes to validating credit cards, and the BIN Checker API excels in this regard. Leveraging comprehensive databases, the API cross-references the BIN provided with up-to-date information, ensuring the reliability of the results. This accuracy is vital for companies looking to minimize false positives and negatives, striking the right balance between security and convenience.
In conclusion, the BIN Checker API is an essential tool in the field of online transactions, offering businesses a robust solution for credit card validation. Its real-time capabilities, seamless integration, accuracy and contribution to regulatory compliance make it an invaluable asset in the fight against fraud, ultimately fostering a secure and reliable digital ecosystem for both businesses and consumers.

The BIN Checker API supports multiple cards.
To access the API, you need to make an HTTP POST request to the API endpoint, providing the first six digits of the credit card (BIN) as a parameter. The API will then respond with a JSON object containing the requested information about the credit card, including its validity, issuing bank details, and location information. You can integrate this API into your application or system to leverage its functionality and enhance your credit card processing capabilities.
The API response includes detailed information about the credit card. This includes information such as the validity of the card (whether it is valid or not), the level of the card (e.g., fleet purchase), the currency associated with the card, and the country of issuance.
The API follows a secure approach by only requiring the Bank Identification Number (BIN), which consists of the first six digits of a credit card. This approach avoids the need to transmit or store sensitive credit card details.
The API allows developers to validate and verify credit card information using the bank identification number (BIN). By providing the first six digits of a credit card, you can verify whether it is a valid credit card or not.
The BIN Checker API returns a JSON object containing information about the credit card associated with the provided BIN. This includes the card's validity, issuer bank details, card type, card brand, and country of issuance.
Key fields in the response include "isValid" (indicating card validity), "issuer_name_bank" (the issuing bank's name), "card_brand" (e.g., MASTERCARD), "iso_country_name" (country of issuance), and "bin_iin" (the BIN itself).
The response data is structured in a JSON format with a top-level object containing "status," "success," "message," and a "data" object. The "data" object includes detailed information about the credit card based on the BIN.
The API provides information such as the card's validity, issuing bank name, card type (e.g., debit or credit), card brand, card level, and the country of issuance, allowing for comprehensive validation.
The primary parameter accepted by the endpoint is the Bank Identification Number (BIN), which consists of the first six digits of the credit card. Users must ensure the BIN is numeric and valid for accurate results.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates from comprehensive databases that track BIN information. The API cross-references the provided BIN with up-to-date records to ensure reliable validation results.
Typical use cases include fraud prevention during online transactions, validating credit cards in payment gateways, ensuring authenticity for subscription services, and securing membership portals by verifying card details.
Users can utilize the returned data to make informed decisions about transaction legitimacy. For example, if "isValid" is false, they can flag the transaction for review or decline it, enhancing security measures.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the worldβs most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]
Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the βX-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remainingβ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the βX-Zyla-RateLimit-Limitβ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.
The βX-Zyla-RateLimit-Resetβ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
To give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.
After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, itβs important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.
Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
