Bic

x402 APIPassing, checked 3 h ago

Resolve a BIC/SWIFT code (8 or 11 chars) into the underlying bank: name, country, city, LEI, and registered head-office address (where available). Use only when you already have the BIC — for IBAN inputs, prefer /v1/iban/validate which resolves the BIC for you. Production · server processing <5ms (network excluded — measure your own round trip on GET /ping) · 121,000+ BIC entries, about two thirds from a public copy of the SWIFT directory frozen in January 2018 · v1.9.0.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.003.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i 'https://api.ibanforge.com/v1/bic/:code'

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
curl -sS -g -o /dev/null -D - 'https://api.ibanforge.com/v1/bic/:code' \
  | grep -i '^payment-required:' | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d '\r' | base64 --decode
