But… what is an API?
API stands for Application Programming Interface. In the context of APIs, the word Application refers to any software with a distinct function. An interface can be thought of as a service contract between two applications. This contract defines how the two communicate with each other through requests and responses.

How does a credit validation API work?
This API is designed to help you detect fraudulent credit card transactions. It starts verifying, validating and checking all credit/debit card information using only the BIN numbers.

The user will submit the credit/debit card (Bank Identification Number) or IIN (Issuer Identification Number) to get all the details.

You will need to provide a BIN (Bank Identification Number) – the first 6 digits of a credit/debit card, to receive the full details of this BIN/IIN in JSON format. 

You will receive the validity of the card if it is VISA or MASTERCARD, which is the issuing bank and the place of card issuance. 

This is an example of an API response:

What are the most common uses of this API?
This API is ideal for those who want to implement a payment gateway on their pages. This API will help those purposes because it will recognize if the card is invalid. 

It is also useful for recognizing the issuing bank. So if you have special offers with a specific bank you will be able to authorize the transaction or not.
