Data Sources & Attribution
PIN Code
Department of Posts PIN directory published through the Open Government Data Platform India. APIDATA syncs records into local MySQL for fast lookup.
IFSC / MICR
Local IFSC directory is synchronized from the Razorpay IFSC public dataset, which is derived from RBI/NPCI sources. IFSC, bank-branch and MICR endpoints reuse this local directory.
Company / CIN
Company Master fields are sourced from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs dataset published on data.gov.in. APIDATA can query by CIN on demand and can import the master CSV for local name search.
Local Government Directory
States, districts, sub-districts, villages, local bodies and PIN mappings use Ministry of Panchayati Raj LGD datasets published on data.gov.in. Resource UUIDs are configurable from Admin so future dataset replacements do not require code changes.
Local Government Directory (LGD)
Mandi prices
Daily wholesale market observations come from the Directorate of Marketing & Inspection / AGMARKNET dataset on data.gov.in. Values are administrative daily observations, not exchange-style live quotes.
Air Quality
Pollutant readings use the Central Pollution Control Board resource “Real time Air Quality Index from various locations” on data.gov.in.
One District One Product
ODOP data can be imported locally from the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade open dataset, or queried through a configured OGD resource UUID.
PAN → GST / GST Details
These verification lookups use a CAPTCHA-free server-to-server source. Provider details are never exposed to retailers.
Local validators
PAN, GSTIN, Aadhaar, IFSC, vehicle-number and UPI validators run locally. PAN/IFSC/vehicle/UPI validators check syntax; GSTIN checks format + checksum; Aadhaar checks the Verhoeff checksum only. They are not authoritative identity/account verification.
