What is Aadhaar OTP Send?

The Aadhaar OTP Send from JustSwitch lets product teams send Aadhaar identity records in real time through a single REST integration. Designed for the Aadhaar / KYC lane, it removes manual checks, reduces drop-offs in onboarding funnels, and returns structured JSON that your risk engine, CRM, or core banking system can consume instantly.

Every request is authenticated with API keys, logged for audit, and routed through regulated partner rails where required. Responses follow a consistent `{ ok, data, message }` envelope so you can ship once and reuse the same error-handling patterns across all JustSwitch endpoints.

Whether you run a lending app, payment aggregator, or enterprise ERP, Aadhaar OTP Send scales horizontally with rate limits tuned for burst traffic during campaigns. Aadhaar APIs must be used only through UIDAI rules and authorised AUA/KUA/Offline-KYC ecosystem partners. e-KYC uses OTP or biometric authentication; paperless offline e-KYC is consent-based.

Developers choose JustSwitch for Aadhaar OTP Send because we aggregate multiple upstream providers behind one contract, one wallet settlement, and one support desk — so you launch faster while your compliance team retains full audit visibility through dashboard logs and exportable reports.

Frequently asked questions

What is Aadhaar OTP Send used for?

It automates Aadhaar / KYC workflows so your application can verify or transact in real time without building direct integrations with multiple upstream providers.

How do I integrate Aadhaar OTP Send in my app?

Sign up on JustSwitch, obtain sandbox API keys, call the REST endpoint with JSON body, handle the unified response envelope, then switch to production keys after UAT sign-off.

How do I authenticate requests?

Use Bearer API keys from the JustSwitch dashboard. Sandbox and production keys are separated; rotate keys anytime without downtime.

Is there a sandbox for testing?

Yes — every API supports sandbox mode with simulated responses so engineering, QA, and compliance can sign off before go-live.

What about webhooks and async status?

Long-running operations (payments, recharge, some KYC steps) emit webhooks to your HTTPS endpoint with signed payloads for replay protection.

Is Aadhaar OTP Send compliant for regulated use in India?

JustSwitch routes requests through authorised AUA/KUA, NPCI, MCA and partner networks. Your legal team should map consent, data retention and licence obligations to your use case.
