Add support for searching IFSC

[ankurpathak]

1. First I have list of bank which I select
2. On selecting list I get states of bank
3. On Selecting State I get Citi of bank
4. On Selecting Citi I get branches of bak
5. On Selecting Branch I get details of branch

Can we have rest api for same. Website is of no use. If we have rest api any one can use it in their product

[captn3m0]

Can you tell us the usecase for such an API?

[ankurpathak]

Here is the use case:
https://www.bankbazaar.com/ifsc-code.html
Here is the other use case:
https://www.paisabazaar.com/ifsc-code/
Here is anothe use case:
https://bankifsccode.com/
Here is a paid api for same:
https://bank.codes/india-ifsc-code-search/
We are useing your gateway in SpiderG(Gladiris Technologies Pvt Ltd) and we make transfer through you. Our customers add bank account for that transfer and sometimes they don't know their ifsc
This will help them to select their ifsc by going through proper hieracrchy Bank -> State -> City -> Branch -> IFSC.
Right now we are useing your ifsc data and dumping it in mongo and converting it into api for same.
If you are giving data, why can't you convert into api.

Thanks a lot.

This was primarily built for internal usecases, but we'll keep this in mind for future releases.

I was facing some issues parsing bank statements where only the branch address is available. Tried a work-around using the dataset available plus some fuzzy algos
In-case someone is still looking for a solution for searching for the IFSC, MICR codes, check out https://github.com/sameerkumar18/bank-search-api
