Cards

Read a payment card from a photo, check a card number someone typed, and keep a fingerprint you can store instead of the number.

Check a typed number#

cards.check validates a number from a checkout form: the Luhn checksum, a length that fits the network, the expiry when you send it, and the BIN record. Accept the card when scheme_valid is true and expired isn't.

Request

curl -X POST https://verisec.dev/v2/cards/check \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VERISEC_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "number": "4242 4242 4242 4242",
    "expiry": "09/29"
  }'

Try it with the test cards.

Read a card from a photo#

cards.read reads every card in a photo: the number, expiry and holder with their confidences, the checks, the BIN record and the issuer. cards.number and cards.expiry each read one part.
