Two API status badges, explained​

tip

Status: LIVE — Real-time data sourced from the upstream regulator. Updated on the regulator's publication cadence (daily for FX, weekly for GST notifications, monthly for AAI traffic, etc.). 12 endpoints today; growing every fortnight.

note

Status: Fixture Mode — Endpoint URL, JSON schema, authentication, rate limits, and SDKs are all production-grade. Response payloads are deterministic samples drawn from real regulator publications. Activates to live data within 5–15 business days of order — no integration changes required on your side.

Start here​

  1. Get a sandbox key — Email prafful@sahayakonline.co.in with your company name and a one-line use case. Key issued within 4 working hours, ₹0 forever for fixture-mode + 1,000 live calls/month across any 3 LIVE endpoints.
  2. Read the quickstart — A 5-minute walkthrough using the GST jewellery rate API as a worked example. Covers auth header, idempotency, and error handling.
  3. Pick your APIs — Browse the Live APIs section first — these have real upstream data today. The Fixture-mode sample section covers 10 representative endpoints across the wider catalogue.
  4. Order the live flip — Once you've prototyped against fixtures, request the fixture-to-live flip from your Sahayak account manager (or prafful@sahayakonline.co.in). Same key, same endpoint, same schema — only the data changes.
