BIN Continuity API Testing

The BIN Continuity API is coming soon.

Ensure your integration with the BIN Continuity API works correctly by making calls to our simulator in Test Mode. If you’re interested in the BIN Continuity API, you can try it out in Test Mode. Sign up for a Pagos account or log into your existing account, then click the environment toggle in the top-right corner; a yellow bar will appear across the top of the Pagos Service Panel to confirm you’re in Test Mode.

Step 2: Generate Your Test Mode API Keys

In Test Mode, generate an API Key for the BIN Continuity API.

These API Keys are universal across Test Mode and will be used for testing all Pagos API products. If you’ve already created an API key in Test Mode, you don’t need to create a new one.

To generate your API key:

Click your settings icon in the top-right corner of your Pagos Service Panel.

Under Developers, click API Keys.

In the API Keys tab, click Create API Key to add a new key to your account.

In the side panel that opens, set your Key Name, then click Create API Key.

Copy your new API Key and store it somewhere secure.

This is the only time you can view this key!

Click I’ve Copied My Keys to confirm and exit the side panel.

Step 3: Test Looking up BIN Continuity

Use our test BIN ranges to test looking up BIN continuity in Test Mode. Note that the endpoint for Test Mode points to sandbox.

Active BIN Example

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://bin.sandbox.pagos.ai/bins/continuity?bin=485427' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <api_key>'

This will return the mock continuity details for an active BIN:

  "continuity": {
    "bin": "485427",
    "bin_min": "4854270000000000000",

  },

}

Deleted BIN Example

To test the response for a deleted BIN, use one of the deleted test ranges:

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://bin.sandbox.pagos.ai/bins/continuity?bin=65031117' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <api_key>'

This will return the mock continuity details for a deleted BIN:

  "continuity": {
    "bin": "65031117",
    "bin_min": "6503111700000000000",

    }
  },
  "correlation_id": "test-abcd-efgh-ijkl-mnop12345678"
}

Test Ranges

Use any BIN, first 6 to 10 digits, that fall within the below min and max bin ranges for testing. The BIN Continuity API in sandbox uses the same test ranges as the BIN Data API.
