Why it matters

The case for API & Webhook

01

One API key, all access methods

The same API key works whether you're calling from a web app, a mobile app, a CRM integration, or an AI assistant. Credits are consumed the same way regardless of how you access the system.

02

Webhooks deliver results to your system automatically

Configure a webhook endpoint and we'll POST check results to your server the moment they're ready — no polling required. Handle results in whatever system you already use.

03

Integrate with your volunteer management platform

Connect VolunteerBadge to Bloomerang, Salesforce, Volunteer Hub, or any platform that accepts webhooks or custom API integrations.

04

Full documentation and code examples

Our API documentation includes request/response schemas, code examples in multiple languages, webhook payload specifications, and error handling guidance.

How it works

Three steps. Start to result.

01

Get your API key from the dashboard

Generate an API key in one click. No approval process, no waiting period — it's active immediately.

02

POST a check request with subject details

Send a JSON payload with the subject's name, DOB, and state. The API responds with a check ID and queues the search.

03

Receive results via webhook or polling

Configure a webhook URL to receive results automatically, or poll the check status endpoint. Results include the full report, FCRA guidance, and adverse action content if applicable.

FAQ

Common questions about API & Webhook.

Is there a rate limit on the API?

Standard accounts can submit up to 10 concurrent checks. Higher limits are available for organizations with high volume needs — contact us.

What does a webhook payload look like?

The webhook POSTs a JSON object containing the check ID, subject slug, result status, summary, record details (if any), and FCRA guidance text.

Do API checks cost more than dashboard checks?

No. One credit = one background check, always. The API access itself is free.
