Card Validator checks whether a card number is valid, identifies the card brand, and flags risk. It runs the Luhn checksum, detects the scheme (Visa, Mastercard, Amex and more), returns the PCI-safe BIN and last 4 digits, flags known processor test cards, and returns a composite risk score.
The Card Validator API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate card validator functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready card validator capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
Quick Start
Using JavaScript
async function callCardValidatorAPI() {
try {
const params = new URLSearchParams({
number: '4900264223817524'
});
const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/cardvalidator?${params}`, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
callCardValidatorAPI();Using cURL
curl -X GET "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/cardvalidator?number=4900264223817524" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"Get your API key: https://apiverve.com
