Is this PAN IIN lookup Restful API useful for EMV developers?

129 views Asked by At

Searching for a useful online tool to check certain card ranges for scheme, brand, issuer, country etc parameters; I came across:- https://lookup.binlist.net/,

Sample use case:- https://lookup.binlist.net/411111

Wondering have coders working on EMV and related FinTech areas come across this resource? Any feedback on accuracy / usefulness in detecting card types / originating country/acquirer etc., would be appreciated.

FWIW, it did gave reasonably accurate (though not uniformly populated) responses on the live cards in my wallet.

I have used the resource but it's not very detailed for many bin ranges especially for African ones where I come from. But at least it tells you the country where the BIN is registered.
