What VPA Validation Is Used For

UPI payout pre-check

Resolve a VPA to its registered account holder name before initiating a transfer, so funds never reach the wrong handle.

Typo protection

Catch a mistyped UPI ID at entry rather than after an irreversible payment.

Merchant and gig payouts

Validate collected UPI handles in bulk before a scheduled disbursement run.

Fraud screening

Flag a VPA whose registered name does not match the beneficiary you expect.

What it doesSaves your API key in this browser only using localStorage. Next time you open a docs page, the Try It panel is pre-filled automatically.

2

Auto-updatesIf you type a different key into any Try It field, the saved key is replaced instantly — only the most recent key is ever stored.

3

Uncheck to forgetUnchecking “Remember API Key” immediately deletes the stored key and clears the field. While unchecked, nothing is saved even if you type a new key.

4

Re-check to save againChecking the box again saves whatever key is currently in the Try It field.

⚠ Security note: Your key is stored only in your browser and is never sent to any server except as part of the actual API call you send. Do not use this feature on shared or public computers.
