Batch CSV (Dashboard)
Upload a CSV of BINs in the dashboard and download the same file enriched with a full lookup for every row — scheme, funding, issuer, country, currency, and card flags. No code, no API key, no integration work.
This is the no-code counterpart to POST /v1/bins: same 2,000-row cap, same data, same quota accounting.
Availability
Batch CSV is included in the BLAPI-500KPM plan ($100/month). See Plans & Quotas for the full comparison.
Test-mode organisations always have access and receive mock data, so you can try the workflow before subscribing. Test mode has a 500-lookups/day limit, so a test file larger than 500 rows is rejected on quota.
Any member of the organisation can use the page — no specific role is required.
Running a Batch
- Sign in to the dashboard and open Batch in the navigation.
- Check the remaining daily quota shown on the page — the whole file must fit in it.
- Choose your CSV file and press Process CSV.
- The enriched file downloads automatically, named
<your-file>-enriched.csv. A summary line reports how many rows were found, not found, and invalid, with a Download again button.
The result is held in the browser only — it is not stored on our servers, and leaving the page discards it.
Preparing Your File
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| File size | 1 MB maximum |
| Rows | Up to 2,000 data rows |
| Columns | Exactly one — one BIN per line |
| Header | Optional. A non-numeric first row (for example bin) is treated as a header and not looked up |
| Encoding | UTF-8; a leading byte order mark is stripped automatically |
| Line endings | LF, CRLF, and CR are all accepted |
| Blank lines | Ignored, including trailing ones |
| Quoting | A fully quoted single cell is accepted ("400062"), with "" as an escaped quote |
Each value follows the same rules as the single-lookup endpoint: 6 to 11 digits, from 100000 to 99999999999. Leading zeroes are not significant — 0400062 is looked up as 400062, though the bin column echoes exactly what you submitted.
Do not upload full card numbers. Values longer than 11 characters are redacted before anything is written or logged — see Card Number Redaction.
Example Input
bin
400062
99999999
invalid
4242424242424242
Output Columns
The downloaded CSV always has these 15 columns, in this order:
bin,scheme,funding,brand,category,country_code,country_name,issuer_name,issuer_website,issuer_phone,currency,prepaid,commercial,longer_bin_available,error
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
bin | The value you submitted, echoed back |
scheme | Card scheme, lowercase — visa, mastercard, amex, … |
funding | credit, debit, prepaid, or unknown |
brand | Card brand as issued, for example VISA |
category | Card level — CLASSIC, SIGNATURE, BUSINESS, … |
country_code | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code |
country_name | Issuing country name |
issuer_name | Issuing bank |
issuer_website | Issuer website, when known |
issuer_phone | Issuer phone number, when known |
currency | ISO 4217 currency code for the issuing country |
prepaid | true or false |
commercial | true or false |
longer_bin_available | true when the dataset holds more specific records for a longer version of this BIN — resubmit with more digits for finer data |
error | Empty on success, otherwise NOT_FOUND or BAD_REQUEST |
Fields with no value in the dataset come back as empty cells.
Example Output
bin,scheme,funding,brand,category,country_code,country_name,issuer_name,issuer_website,issuer_phone,currency,prepaid,commercial,longer_bin_available,error
400062,visa,debit,VISA,SIGNATURE,AE,UNITED ARAB EMIRATES,EMIRATES NBD BANK (P.J.S.C.),http://www.emiratesnbd.com/en/,+971800456,AED,false,false,true,
99999999,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOT_FOUND
invalid,,,,,,,,,,,,,,BAD_REQUEST
[REDACTED],,,,,,,,,,,,,,BAD_REQUEST
Row Errors
Rows are never dropped or reordered: the output has exactly one row per input row, in the order you submitted them. A row that could not be resolved carries an error code and leaves the remaining columns empty.
| Error Code | Cause |
|---|---|
NOT_FOUND | The BIN is valid but not in the dataset |
BAD_REQUEST | The value is not a valid BIN — non-numeric, fewer than 6 digits, or more than 11 |
Card Number Redaction
A value longer than 11 characters could be a full card number. It is replaced with [REDACTED] in the bin column and marked BAD_REQUEST. The original value is never written to the output file or to your request log.
Quota Accounting
Every data row counts as one lookup against the daily quota — including rows that come back NOT_FOUND or BAD_REQUEST. A 2,000-row file uses 2,000 lookups.
Booking is all-or-nothing. If the file does not fit in the organisation’s remaining daily quota, nothing is charged, no request-log entry is created, and the page reports how many lookups the file needs against how many remain:
Daily quota exceeded: this file needs 2,000 lookups but only 340 remain today (limit 10,000).
Split the file and retry, or wait for the reset at midnight UTC. See Plans & Quotas for daily limits.
A successful run appears as a single entry in Usage, with the row count as its unit total.
Upload Errors
The whole file is rejected — and nothing is charged — when it fails validation:
| Message | Cause |
|---|---|
The CSV file must be 1 MB or smaller | The file exceeds the 1 MB upload limit |
The CSV file is empty | The chosen file has no content |
CSV contains no data rows | The file holds only a header, or only blank lines |
CSV has more than 2,000 data rows | The row cap is exceeded, counted after any header |
line 12 has multiple columns; upload a single-column CSV | An unquoted comma on that line — export a single column |
line 12 has malformed quotes | An unterminated quote or text after the closing quote on that line |
Line numbers refer to physical lines in the uploaded file, so they match what your editor shows.
When to Use the API Instead
| Batch CSV | POST /v1/bins | |
|---|---|---|
| Interface | Dashboard upload | HTTP request |
| Per run | 2,000 BINs | 2,000 BINs |
| Output | CSV download, 15 flat columns | JSON, one result object per BIN |
| Automation | Manual | Scriptable, schedulable |
| Best for | One-off enrichment, spreadsheet work, analyst workflows | Pipelines, recurring jobs, application code |
Both consume the same quota at the same rate, and both are on BLAPI-500KPM.
