# Validating recipient's Binance ID

<mark style="color:green;">`POST`</mark> `/api/public/v1/payouts/binance_receiver/validate`

Verifies that a recipient's Binance ID is recognised by Binance before you create a `binance_pay` payout. A `200` response confirms the ID is valid and the recipient can receive Binance Pay payments. Call this endpoint before [Create Payout](/payouts/creating-payout.md) to catch invalid IDs early.

{% hint style="info" %}
This endpoint uses `Content-Type: application/json`, not `application/vnd.api+json`.
{% endhint %}

**Headers**

| Name          | Value              |
| ------------- | ------------------ |
| Content-Type  | `application/json` |
| Authorization | `Bearer <api_key>` |

**Request Body**

<table><thead><tr><th width="126">Name</th><th width="111">Type</th><th width="105">Required</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>receiver_id</td><td>string</td><td>Yes</td><td>Recipient's Binance ID. Must be numeric, 8–10 digits.</td></tr></tbody></table>

**cURL**

```json
curl -X "POST" "https://api.sandbox.txn.io/api/public/v1/payouts/binance_receiver/validate" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -H 'Authorization: Bearer <api_key>' \
     -d '{
  "receiver_id": "474748434"
}'
```

**Response**

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="HTTP 200" %}

```json
{
  "data": {},
  "status": "ok",
  "jsonapi": {
    "version": "1.0"
  }
}
```

Binance ID is recognised. Safe to use as `receiverBinanceId` in a Create Payout request.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="HTTP 422" %}

```json
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "status": 422,
      "title": "Invalid receiver",
      "code": "binance_pay_invalid_receiver",
      "detail": "The provided Binance ID is not valid."
    }
  ]
}
```

The Binance ID is not recognised or the format is invalid. Do not proceed with a `binance_pay` payout to this ID.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
