ABHA Login

Verify an existing ABHA by mobile number, Aadhaar number, ABHA number, ABHA address, or Find ABHA search.

ABHA login returns a user token. Use that token as X-token for profile APIs.

Version and host differences

The Postman collection mixes v3 and v3.1 login paths. It also has malformed Find ABHA hosts in 2 files. This page keeps the exact payload fields and uses the official sandbox host.
