Overview

API Setu is an Indian Government platform that aggregates a wide variety of official APIs covering KYC verification, business registration, education records, and employment data. It acts as a unified gateway to government data services, making it easier for developers to build compliant applications. No API key is required for many public endpoints, making it easy to explore.
