Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## BIN Lookup Actor πŸ” This actor helps you look up Bank Identification Number (BIN) information. It provides detailed information about payment cards including the card scheme, type, brand, issuing bank, and country details. ### Features ✨ - 🏦 Retrieves comprehensive BIN/IIN information - 🌍 Includes detailed country data (name, currency, coordinates) - 🏒 Provides issuing bank information - πŸ’³ Identifies card scheme (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) - ⚑ Fast and reliable lookups - πŸ”„ Automatic error handling and retries ### Use Cases πŸ’‘ - Payment system integration testing - Card validation processes - Financial data analysis - Fraud detection systems - Geographic transaction analysis ### Output πŸ“Š The actor returns detailed JSON data including: - Card scheme and type - Brand information - Issuing bank details - Country information (including currency and location) - Timestamp of the lookup ### Input Parameters βš™οΈ | Parameter | Type | Description | |-----------|------|-------------| | bin | String | The 6-8 digit Bank Identification Number (BIN) | ### Tips πŸ’‘ - Use valid BIN numbers (first 6-8 digits of a card number) - Consider rate limits when running bulk lookups - Check returned data completeness as some fields might be optional ### Proxy Support πŸ”’ The actor supports several proxy options: - **Apify Proxy** (Recommended) - Automatic IP rotation - Residential and datacenter proxies - Geographic location targeting - **Custom Proxies** - Use your own proxy servers - Support for authenticated proxies To use proxies, simply configure the `proxyConfiguration` in the input: #### Input Example A full explanation of an input example in JSON. ```` { "bin": "45717360" } ``` #### Output sample The results will be wrapped into a dataset which you can always find in theΒ **Storage**Β tab. Here's an excerpt from the data you'd get if you apply the input parameters above: And here is the same data but in JSON. You can choose in which format to download your data: JSON, JSONL, Excel spreadsheet, HTML table, CSV, or XML. ``` \[ { "bin": "45717360", "number": {}, "scheme": "visa", "type": "debit", "brand": "Visa Classic/Dankort", "country": { "numeric": "208", "alpha2": "DK", "name": "Denmark", "emoji": "πŸ‡©πŸ‡°", "currency": "DKK", "latitude": 56, "longitude": 10 }, "bank": { "name": "Jyske Bank A/S" }, "timestamp": "2025-01-08T09:19:42.584Z" } ] ```` # Actor input Schema ## `bin` (type: `string`): The 6-8 digit Bank Identification Number (BIN) or Issuer Identification Number (IIN) ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Select proxies to be used by your actor. ## Actor input object example ```json { "bin": "45717360", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
