Build Status

CCParser is a robust and efficient Python library designed for seamless credit card parsing, validation, and formatting. It can extract card details from clean, delimited strings and messy real-world text while keeping a simple, consistent API.


Features

  • Smart extraction of card number, expiry date, and CVV from many formats
  • Heuristic parser for messy input (labels, mixed delimiters, extra text)
  • Parse-time CVV length validation (3 or 4 digits)
  • Luhn validation and expiry validation helpers
  • CVV validation with card-type awareness
  • Card type detection across 20 major networks
  • Formatting and masking helpers
  • CLI for quick parsing and validation

Python API

from ccparser import CCParser

card = CCParser("4111111111111111|12|2030|123")
print(card.get_number())           # 4111111111111111
print(card.get_formatted_number()) # 4111 1111 1111 1111
print(card.get_expiry())           # 12/30
print(card.get_cvv())              # 123
print(card.is_valid())             # True
print(card.get_card_type())        # Visa
print(card.get_masked_number())    # **** **** **** 1111
print(card.get_year())             # 2030
print(card.get_month())            # 12

Card Number Generation
