Usage

Python API

Card Validation

from irCards import CardValidator

# Validate a card
card = CardValidator("6037991234567890")
info = card.get_info()

print(info)
# Output:
# {
#     "card_number": "6037991234567890",
#     "is_valid": True,
#     "masked_card": "603799******7890",
#     "length": 16,
#     "bank": "بانک ملی ایران"
# }

IBAN Validation

from irCards import IbanValidator

# Validate an IBAN
iban = IbanValidator("IR820540102680020817909002")
info = iban.get_info()

print(info)
# Output:
# {
#     "iban": "IR820540102680020817909002",
#     "is_valid": True,
#     "masked_iban": "IR**************9002",
#     "length": 26
# }

CLI Usage

After installation, you can use the command-line interface:

# Validate a card
python -m irCards.cli card 6037991234567890

# Validate an IBAN
python -m irCards.cli iban IR820540102680020817909002

Example output:

card_number : 6037991234567890
is_valid : True
masked_card : 603799******7890
length : 16
bank : بانک ملی ایران

API Reference

CardValidator

Parameters

• card_number (str|int): The card number to validate

Methods

Method	Description
get_info()	Returns a dictionary with card information
_validate_luhn()	Internal method implementing Luhn algorithm
_mask_number()	Internal method for card number masking

Return Values from get_info()

Key	Description
card_number	The original card number
is_valid	Boolean indicating if card passes Luhn check
masked_card	Masked version (first 6, last 4 digits visible)
length	Length of the card number
bank	Bank name in Persian (or "Unknown")

IbanValidator

Parameters

• iban (str): The IBAN to validate

Methods

Method	Description
get_info()	Returns a dictionary with IBAN information

Return Values from get_info()

Key	Description
iban	The original IBAN
is_valid	Boolean indicating if IBAN is valid
masked_iban	Masked version (preserves "IR" and last 4 digits)
length	Length of the IBAN

Validation Rules

Card Validation

• Uses Luhn algorithm (mod 10 algorithm)
• Automatically removes any non-digit characters
• Identifies bank from the first 6 digits (BIN)
• Minimum length: 8 digits (for masking logic)

IBAN Validation

• Country code must be "IR" (Iran)
• Length must be exactly 26 characters
• Implements MOD 97 algorithm (ISO 7064)
• Removes spaces and converts to uppercase automatically

Supported Banks

The package includes BIN (Bank Identification Number) prefixes for all major Iranian banks including:

• بانک ملی ایران (603799)
• بانک ملت (610433)
• بانک صادرات (603769)
• بانک تجارت (585983)
• And more...

See banks_dict.py for the complete list.

Version History

• 1.0.0 - Initial release
  • Card validation with Luhn algorithm
  • IBAN validation for Iran
  • Bank identification from BIN
  • CLI interface

Notes

• Card numbers are validated only syntactically (Luhn algorithm), not against a live database
• Bank identification is based on known BIN prefixes and may not cover all banks
• Always use masked versions when displaying card numbers or IBANs in UI/logs
