Background checks, by API

A clean REST API, real-time webhooks, and an OpenAPI spec. Order checks, manage candidates, and automate adverse actions — directly from your own application.

The whole platform, programmatically

Anything you can do in the dashboard, you can do over the API.

Candidates & invitations

Create candidates, send role-based invitations, and get a hosted intake URL back.

Reports & adjudication

Order checks, list and filter reports, and adjudicate with engage or adverse-action decisions.

Packages & check types

Browse the check catalog and build custom packages from any combination of checks.

Roles & requirements

Define employee roles and their required credentials and checks, then onboard against them.

Adverse actions

List, track, and update the full pre-notice → dispute → final-notice lifecycle.

Bulk import

Validate a roster CSV against your roles and get a per-row valid / pending / missing status.

Real-time webhooks

Subscribe to events and keep your systems in sync. Test deliveries and optionally include related objects in every payload.

Scoped API keys

Generate, label, and revoke keys from your dashboard with usage tracking.

sk_live_…Secret

Full server-side access — order checks, read reports, manage adverse actions.

pk_live_…Publishable

Limited to candidate creation — safe for embedded, client-side intake.

Partner provisioning API

Marketplaces and platforms can provision white-label tenants with a single call, each with its own scoped API key and partner-specific pricing. Build screening into your product under your own brand.
