# BIN Data API Testing

Ensure your integration with the BIN Data API works correctly by making calls to our simulator in Test Mode.

## Step 1: Create a Pagos Account or Sign In

If you’re interested in the BIN Data API, you can try it out in [Test Mode](/getting-started/managing-your-pagos-account#test-mode). [Sign up](https://secure.pagos.ai/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 Data API.

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

To generate your API key:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Click your **settings** icon in the top-right corner of your Pagos Service Panel.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Under **Developers**, click **API Keys**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **API Keys** tab, click **Create API Key** to add a new key to your account.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the side panel that opens, set your **Key Name**, then click **Create API Key**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Copy your new API Key and store it somewhere secure.

    <Warning>
      This is the only time you can view this key!
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **I've Copied My Keys** to confirm and exit the side panel.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Step 3: Test Looking up a BIN

Use our [test ranges](#test-ranges) to test looking up a BIN in Test Mode. Note that the endpoint for Test Mode points to **sandbox**.

```bash theme={null}
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://parrot.sandbox.pagosapi.com/bins?enhanced=true&bin=485427' \
  --header 'Authorization:Bearer <api_key>'
```

This will return the mock details for the BIN:
