Fastag Verification API

Endpoint Overview

POST /api/v1/fastag/verification

Description

The Fastag Verification API allows you to validate and retrieve details of a vehicle's Fastag by providing the vehicle's registration (RC) number. This API returns comprehensive information about the Fastag including the associated bank, tag ID, and current status, enabling seamless verification of Fastag credentials for toll collection systems, parking management, and vehicle fleet management applications.

Key Benefits

Instant verification of Fastag validity and status

Retrieval of complete Fastag details including bank and tag ID

Simplified integration with toll collection and parking management systems

Reduced manual verification processes and associated errors

Use Cases

Toll Management

Parking Solutions

Fleet Management

Verify Fastag validity before allowing vehicles through toll plazas

Automate toll collection by confirming active Fastag status

Reduce congestion by pre-validating Fastag details

Technical Implementation

Authentication

All API requests require authentication using a JWT Bearer token. Authentication follows these steps:

Obtain API Credentials: Register with Surepass to receive your API key.

Generate JWT Token: Use your API key to generate a JWT token.

Include in Requests: Add the token to the Authorization header as Bearer TOKEN.

Different authentication tokens are used for sandbox and production environments:

Sandbox: https://sandbox.surepass.io

Production: https://kyc-api.surepass.io

Request Parameters

Integration Best Practices

Security Recommendations

Store JWT tokens securely and never expose them in client-side code

Implement token refresh mechanisms to handle token expiration

Use HTTPS for all API communications to ensure data encryption

Implement proper error handling to avoid exposing sensitive information

User Experience Guidelines

Implement client-side validation of RC number format before making API calls

Display clear error messages to users when verification fails

Implement caching strategies to reduce redundant API calls for the same RC number

Show loading indicators during API calls to improve perceived performance
