Lookup card BIN numbers using https://www.binlist.net
IIN (Issuer Identification Number) is the more modern name.
Useful for querying information from a credit card such as:
- brand (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc.)
- expected card number length and LUHN algorithm support
- type (debit or credit)
- category (prepaid or classic)
- country
- issuing bank
The BIN is the first digits of a card number: 0000 0000 **** ****. You can
pass any card number prefix of 4-9 digits. More numbers will return more
information.
Works in browser environments using Browserify or similar.
var lookup = require('binlookup')();
// using callbacks
lookup('45717360',
function( err, data ){
console.log(data);
});
// using promises
lookup('45717360').then(
data => console.log(data));Example data returned:
{
number: {
length: 16,
luhn: true
},
scheme: 'visa',
type: 'debit',
brand: 'Visa/Dankort',

country: {

}
}You can cache the response using AsyncCache or similar:
var lookup = require('binlookup')();
var AsyncCache = require('async-cache');
var cache = new AsyncCache({
load: lookup,
});
cache.get(bin, function( err, data ){
console.log(data);
});
