When is it the right choice?

Tracing a person's address history across roll years

Good for

Tracing a person's address history across roll years
Matching a name and relative's name during KYC
Research and journalism on rolls
Household lookups within a roll part

Limits

A search needs a primary criterion: name, EPIC, free text or a complete household key; filters alone are rejected
A query reaches at most 9,900 records (100 pages of 100); narrow with filters to go further
Coverage by state and roll year is not listed in the docs; electoral data is personal data and must be used lawfully

Frequently asked questions

How do I search the electoral roll by name through an API?

Call GET /electoral/search with name, optionally relativeName, age and stateCode. Name matching can be all, any, phrase or fuzzy tokens, and results are grouped by EPIC.

How much does it cost?

INR 1.00 per request on eCourtsIndia pay as you go and INR 0.35 on an Enterprise plan, flat however many persons come back. Requests rejected for bad paging or shape are not charged. New accounts get INR 200 free credit.

Does it match names written in Hindi?

Yes. The docs say name matching works on Indic script and Latin transliteration, and each result carries both forms.

Can an AI agent call this API?

Yes. eCourtsIndia runs an MCP server at https://mcp.ecourtsindia.com/mcp, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can use the same data after signing in at eCourts. The REST API uses a Bearer token.
