New Feature

Batch BIN lookups

POST /v1/bins accepts up to 2,000 BINs in a single request and returns one result per BIN, in order. Invalid or unknown BINs return per-item errors without failing the rest of the batch. Available on BLAPI-500KPM; test-mode organisations can try it for free with mock data.

New Feature

Sign in with Microsoft

You can now sign in to the dashboard with a Microsoft account — personal or work — alongside Google.

New Feature

Team roles

Organisation memberships now support four roles — Owner, Developer (manages API keys), Billing Manager (manages the subscription), and read-only Member — with role selection on invites and editable roles for existing members.

New Feature

Free plan: 10 lookups per day

Organisations without a subscription now get 10 real BIN lookups per day, no credit card required — same production data as paid plans. Exceeding the quota returns a 429 with an upgrade link, and it resets at midnight UTC.

New Feature

Precision signal on lookups

Successful lookups now include meta.longer_bin_available — a signal that the dataset holds more specific records for a longer version of the queried BIN, so resubmitting with more digits may return more precise data. Included automatically on BLAPI-150KPM and above.

Enhancement

Zero-friction onboarding

Sign in and land in a ready-to-use dashboard: your organisation is created automatically, API keys are auto-named with inline rename, and the dashboard shows a ready-to-run cURL command with your new key pre-filled.

Enhancement

11-digit BIN lookups

The API now accepts BINs up to 11 digits (previously 8), returning more specific issuer records when a longer prefix is available.

Enhancement

Faster API responses

Cut server-side processing time roughly in half on the lookup hot path and removed a middleware hop from /v1 requests entirely.

New Feature

BINLookupAPI launches

Real-time card BIN lookups via POST /v1/bin: card scheme, funding type, issuing bank, and country. Google sign-in, API key management, usage analytics, and quota-based plans from 30k to 500k lookups per month — plus a free test mode with mock data so you can integrate before paying.
