BIN Lookup & Card Insights

BIN Lookup & Card Insights

The Evervault API allows you to retrieve metadata for a card tokenized with Evervault, including the card BIN, last four digits, funding type, issuer details, country and other relevant details. Additionally, the API also provides a unique fingerprint for each card, which acts as a unique identifier to detect card reuse.

The card insights can be used for tasks such as fraud detection and payment routing.

Retrieve Card Insights

To retrieve metadata for a tokenized card, simply send the tokenized card number to the Inspect API endpoint.

The Inspect endpoint requires a JSON-formatted string (not a JSON object), so be sure to enclose the tokenized card number in double quotes.

The response includes the card metadata, such as the card BIN, the last four digits, the funding type, and other relevant details.
