# Verify an AMFI mutual-fund distributor (ARN)

> Verify a mutual-fund distributor by ARN. The ARN (and its EUIN) is
screened against AMFI's suspended, terminated, and terminated-EUIN
lists; a hit sets `registration_status` to `SUSPENDED`/`TERMINATED`,
`negative_list_hit` to `true`, and `verified` to `false`.

**Credits:** 0.25 per successful verification.

  description: >-
    API for parsing and analyzing CAS (Consolidated Account Statement) PDF files
    from NSDL, CDSL, and CAMS/KFintech, with a unified response format
  version: 4.0.0

  - name: CAS Parser
    description: Endpoints for parsing CAS PDF files from different sources.
  - name: CAS Generator
    description: >-
      Endpoints for generating new CAS documents via email mailback (KFintech
      and CAMS).
  - 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** (`gmail`, default) — `@gmail.com` and Google Workspace domains

      - **Microsoft** (`outlook`) — personal Microsoft accounts: `@outlook.com`,
        `@hotmail.com`, `@live.com`, `@msn.com`, and localised variants such as
        `@hotmail.co.uk`, `@live.in`, `@hotmail.fr`. Any other address registered
        as a personal Microsoft account also works, including custom domains.
      - **Zoho Mail** (`zoho`) — Zoho-hosted mailboxes, including custom domains


      **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:** 0.25 per successful lookup. Failed lookups are not billed.
  - name: Verification
    description: |
      Verify the regulatory registration of a financial intermediary — a yes/no
      check rather than a directory search.

      - **`/v1/verify/sebi`** — any SEBI-registered intermediary (Investment
        Adviser, Research Analyst, Portfolio Manager, Stock Broker, Mutual Fund,
        AIF, and more). Send a `registration_number` and the category is
        auto-detected from its sequence; or send a `name` with an explicit `type`.
      - **`/v1/verify/mfd`** — AMFI mutual-fund distributors by ARN, including a
        screen against AMFI's suspended / terminated / terminated-EUIN lists.

      A "not found" result is a successful verification (HTTP 200,
      `verified: false`) and is billed. Upstream failures surface as 5xx and are
      not billed.

      **Credits:** 0.25 per successful verification.
