About the IFSC Lookup API

IFSC Lookup works by analyzing the data provided and returning information on various IFSC codes. It uses various sources to determine the information on IFSC codes and returns the data.

Ways to call it

One endpoint, many ways in — REST with JSON, XML, YAML and CSV, plus GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents.

JSON: Default REST response
XML: Markup format
YAML: Human-readable
CSV: Tabular export
GraphQL: Query language
MCP: For AI agents

Common questions about the IFSC Lookup API.

What does the IFSC Lookup API do?

IFSC Lookup is a simple tool for getting information on IFSC codes. It returns information on various IFSC codes.

How do I authenticate IFSC Lookup API requests?

Pass your API key in the x-api-key header over HTTPS. One key works across all 300+ APIVerve APIs — there are no per-endpoint credentials.

How much does the IFSC Lookup API cost?

Each call spends 10 credits from your shared pool. The free tier includes 200 credits every month, and paid plans add more headroom.

How fast is the IFSC Lookup API?

Response time depends on the endpoint — the p50 through p99 latency for this API is published on this page. Requests are served over HTTPS through a global edge network.

What response formats does the IFSC Lookup API support?

JSON by default, plus XML and YAML via the format parameter. GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents are available across the catalog.

What HTTP method does the IFSC Lookup API use?

GET over HTTPS, following standard REST conventions with a consistent { status, error, data } response envelope.

Request parameters — GET /v1/ifsclookup

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

Required

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`ifsc`Required	string	`SBIN0005943`	The IFSC code to get information about

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/ifsclookup?ifsc=SBIN0005943" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Header	When	Value
`x-api-key`Required	Every request	Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so `X-API-Key` is the same header.
`Authorization`Alternate	Instead of the above	`Bearer <key>` — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing.

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Response — GET /v1/ifsclookup

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "bank": "State Bank of India",
    "ifsc": "SBIN0005943",
    "branch": "KASTURBA GANDHI MARG,NEW DELHI",
    "contact": "",
    "city": "NEW DELHI",
    "district": "NEW DELHI",
    "state": "DELHI",
    "imps": true,
    "rtgs": true,
    "neft": true,
    "upi": true,
    "micr": "110002062",
    "swift": ""
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`bank`	string	`"State Bank of India"`	Name of the bank institution
`ifsc`	string	`"SBIN0005943"`	IFSC code of the branch
`branch`	string	`"KASTURBA GANDHI MARG,NEW DELHI"`	Branch name and address location
`contact`	string	`""`	Contact information for the branch
`city`	string	`"NEW DELHI"`	City where the branch is located
`district`	string	`"NEW DELHI"`	District of the branch location
`state`	string	`"DELHI"`	State where the branch is located
`imps`Premium	boolean	`true`	Whether IMPS transactions are supported
`rtgs`Premium	boolean	`true`	Whether RTGS transactions are supported
`neft`Premium	boolean	`true`	Whether NEFT transactions are supported
`upi`Premium	boolean	`true`	Whether UPI transactions are supported
`micr`Premium	string	`"110002062"`	MICR code for the branch
`swift`Premium	string	`""`	SWIFT code for international transactions

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Header	What it carries
`x-api-remaining-credits`	Credits left in the current cycle
`x-api-credits-used`	Credits spent in the current cycle
`x-api-max-credits`	The allowance for the cycle
`x-api-version`	Version of the endpoint that answered

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter that has to change.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted here	A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart, then back off or top up.

What a call costs — 10 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Plan	Per month	Credits	IFSC Lookup calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	20	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	20,000	$1.50
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	100,000	$1.00
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	400,000	$0.75

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
