DTH Operator Check
POST

DTH Operator Check API — Identify which DTH operator a subscriber / customer ID belongs to, without asking the customer. Returns the machine-readable operator slug (e.g. sun_direct) plus the display operator_name. The returned slug is exactly the value the DTH Advance Information API expects, so the two chain together: identify the operator first, then pull the subscriber profile. Removes the most common cause of failed DTH recharges — the customer picking the wrong operator.
