eSIMDB API

Compare travel eSIM plans by country and region as clean JSON.

The API.SH eSIMDB API turns the public eSIMDB comparison site into structured JSON. List destinations with their regions, provider counts and plan counts, then pull every travel eSIM data plan for a country or region across providers. Plans include data in GB or unlimited, validity in days, price in USD, price per GB, promo price, 5G, tethering, top-up, networks and provider promo codes.

API.SH vs the official eSIMDB API

eSIMDB's developer documentation is a partner feed: it tells eSIM providers how to expose their plan catalog to eSIMDB, rather than a way to read the comparison data. The SERP shows no public eSIMDB data API; the eSIM APIs that rank are reseller APIs for ordering eSIMs. API.SH returns the public comparison data as JSON.

Skip maintaining an eSIMDB scraper or paying for Apify actors: API.SH gives you one key and a fixed price per call.

eSIMDB API questions

What eSIMDB data can I get?+

Countries and regions with plan and provider counts (/esimdb/v1/destinations) and every travel eSIM plan for a country or region with filters and sorts (/esimdb/v1/plans).

How much does the eSIMDB API cost?+

Every eSIMDB endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /esimdb/v1/destinations at 1 credit each.

Is there an official eSIMDB API?+

Not for reading data. eSIMDB's partner documentation is for eSIM providers who list their plans on the site. The eSIM APIs from companies like Airalo or eSIM Go are for resellers. API.SH returns the public comparison data.

Do I need a eSIMDB account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public eSIMDB pages only. No endpoint uses a login or cookies, and nothing buys or provisions an eSIM.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key from the dashboard. 3. Call /esimdb/v1/plans with a country with your key. Request examples and every parameter are in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.

Is eSIMDB the same as IMDb?+

No. eSIMDB compares travel eSIM data plans, while IMDb is a movie database. Search suggestions often mix the two. This API covers eSIMDB only.

What filters can I use on plans?+

Minimum data in GB, minimum and maximum days, maximum price, maximum price per GB, provider, network, 5G, unlimited, tethering, top-up, eKYC, phone number, low latency, subscription and new-user-only, with sorting by price, price per GB, data or validity. Results are paged with per_page and page.
