# Check Email Connection Status

> Verify if an `inbox_token` is still valid and check connection status.

Use this to check if the user needs to re-authenticate (e.g., if they
revoked access in their email provider settings).

  - name: CAS Fetch
    description: |
      Endpoints for fetching CAS documents with instant download.
      Currently supports CDSL via OTP authentication.
  - name: Email Import
    description: >
      Endpoints for importing CAS files directly from user email inboxes.


      **Supported Providers:** Gmail (more coming soon)


      **How it works:**

      1. Call `POST /v4/inbox/connect` to get an OAuth URL

      2. Redirect user to the OAuth URL for consent

      3. User is redirected back to your `redirect_uri` with an encrypted
      `inbox_token`

      4. Use the token to list/fetch CAS files from their inbox
      (`/v4/inbox/cas`)

      5. Files are uploaded to temporary cloud storage (URLs expire in 24 hours)


      **Security:**

      - Read-only access (we cannot send emails)

      - Tokens are encrypted with server-side secret

      - User can revoke access anytime via `/v4/inbox/disconnect`
  - name: Inbound Email
    description: >
      Create dedicated inbound email addresses for investors to forward their
      CAS statements.


      **Use Case:** Your app wants to collect CAS statements from users without
      requiring OAuth or file upload.


      **How it works:**

      1. Call `POST /v4/inbound-email` to create a unique inbound email address

      2. Display this email to your user: "Forward your CAS statement to
      ie_xxx@import.casparser.in"

      3. When user forwards a CAS email, we verify sender authenticity
      (SPF/DKIM) and call your webhook

      4. Your webhook receives email metadata + attachment download URLs


      **Sender Validation:**

      - Only emails from verified CAS authorities are processed:
        - CDSL: `eCAS@cdslstatement.com`
        - NSDL: `NSDL-CAS@nsdl.co.in`
        - CAMS: `donotreply@camsonline.com`
        - KFintech: `samfS@kfintech.com`
      - Emails failing SPF/DKIM/DMARC are rejected

      - Forwarded emails must contain the original sender in headers


      **Billing:** 0.2 credits per successfully processed valid email
  - name: Contract Note Parser
    description: >-
      Endpoints for parsing Contract Note PDF files from various SEBI brokers
      like Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, ICICI etc.
  - name: Authorization
    description: |
      Endpoints for checking API quota and credits usage.
      These endpoints help you monitor your API usage and remaining quota.
  - name: Portfolio Connect
    description: >
      Endpoints for managing access tokens for the Portfolio Connect SDK.

      Use these to generate short-lived `at_` prefixed tokens that can be safely
      passed to frontend applications.

      Access tokens can be used in place of API keys on all v4 endpoints.
  - name: Agent Auth
    description: >
      Endpoints for coding agents to obtain API keys via a browser-based
      approval flow.


      **How it works:**

      1. Agent generates a random token locally (e.g. `openssl rand -hex 32`).
      No API call needed.

      2. Agent asks the user to open
      `https://app.casparser.in/agent-auth?token=<token>&client_name=<name>`

      3. User signs in via the browser and clicks Approve.

      4. Agent polls `GET /v1/agent-auth/token/{token}` every 5 seconds until
      the key is delivered.


      **Security:**

      - Token must be 16-128 characters (recommended: 64 hex chars / 256 bits)

      - Approved keys are delivered once (one-shot) and then deleted

      - Tokens expire after 10 minutes if not approved
  - name: KYC
    description: >
      Endpoints for verifying KYC (Know Your Customer) status of Indian
      investors.


      **Data source:** CVL KRA public inquiry portal (cvlkra.com), which
      aggregates

      records from all five SEBI-registered KRAs: CVL, NDML, CAMS, Karvy, and
      KFin.


      **Status normalization:** Raw CVL portal strings are normalized into clean
      enums.

      See the `kyc_status` property on `KycPanStatusResponse` for the full list.


      **Credits:** 0.5 per successful lookup. Failed lookups are not billed.
