"description": "Validate the world's securities identifiers and compute their check digits. The validate endpoint checks an ISIN (12 characters), CUSIP (9 characters) or SEDOL (7 characters) — auto-detecting the type — using the correct check-digit algorithm for each: the Luhn-over-letter-expansion scheme for ISIN, the doubling mod-10 scheme for CUSIP, and the weighted mod-10 scheme for SEDOL. The checkdigit endpoint computes the trailing check digit for an identifier body, so you can complete or generate one. Pure local, no key."
