Item I  —  The Premise

Government records, on tap. Stop scraping. Ship the feature.

PramaanAI is the API layer for Indian government data — pincode lookups, IFSC codes, mandi prices, GST HSN classifications, and more — verified, citation-ready, and served as JSON in under a hundred milliseconds. Every payload carries its provenance and freshness, so you can put receipts in your audit log instead of asterisks in your roadmap.

*Mandi prices are pulled daily, but the upstream agmarknet feed itself publishes with a 2–7 day lag from APMC trade dates. Every response declares its true as_of_date and lag_days — no theatre.

Item IV — Why bother

Scrapers break. Government SPAs change overnight. OAuth flows wake you up at three in the morning. We have kept those scrapers alive on your behalf, mirrored the OSS datasets that matter, and served the lot through a single header-authenticated endpoint — with provenance and freshness printed on every payload.

No marketing-grade real-time. No mystery refresh dates. Just receipts.
