Fetch Billers

GET
/v1/bill_payments/billers

Click to copy

Use this endpoint to retrieve a list of billers on the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS). Filter by category, geographic coverage or status. Fetch a specific biller by biller_id or gateway_biller_id. The response includes the biller's configuration for payment, fees, additional info and account holder inputs. Use these to render the bill retrieval and payment UI.

Incremental Sync

Pass updated_since (Unix timestamp) to fetch only billers updated after a specific time. This is the recommended way to keep your local biller catalogue in sync without re-fetching the entire list.

Fetch Billers

GET
/v1/bill_payments/billers

Click to copy

Use this endpoint to retrieve a list of billers on the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS). Filter by category, geographic coverage or status. Fetch a specific biller by biller_id or gateway_biller_id. The response includes the biller's configuration for payment, fees, additional info and account holder inputs. Use these to render the bill retrieval and payment UI.

Incremental Sync

Pass updated_since (Unix timestamp) to fetch only billers updated after a specific time. This is the recommended way to keep your local biller catalogue in sync without re-fetching the entire list.
