Changelog

BLAPI-1MPM is a new self-serve plan at US$200/month with 1,000,000 included lookups per billing period, no daily limit, and every BLAPI-500KPM feature. When the included lookups run out, requests use prepaid credit packs from 1M (US$200) to 500M (US$25,000), up to 75% off per lookup. Buy packs from Billing in the dashboard; each pack lasts 12 months and nothing is charged automatically. A new X-Credits-Remaining header reports the usable balance.

A major refresh of the BIN database: 25,992 BINs added, 44,668 updated, and 12,140 retired records removed, bringing the dataset to 3,314,356 BINs.

A major refresh of the BIN database: 17,633 BINs added, 33,175 updated, and 7,048 retired records removed, bringing the dataset to 3,300,504 BINs. Changes cover 483 six-digit BINs and 32,693 eight-to-eleven-digit BINs.

Upload a CSV of up to 2,000 BINs on the dashboard's Batch page and download the enriched file — scheme, funding, issuer, country, currency, and card flags across 15 flat columns. No code, no API key. Included in BLAPI-500KPM; test-mode organisations can try it for free with mock data.

A major refresh of the BIN database: 26,546 BINs added, 77,871 updated, and 41,141 retired records removed, bringing the dataset to 3,289,919 BINs. Changes cover 400 six-digit BINs and 25,720 eight-to-eleven-digit BINs.

Live uptime and incident history for the API is now published at status.binlookupapi.com, so you can check service health at a glance and subscribe to incident updates.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
