Why Should Businesses Use a Background Check API?

Can I conduct a background check via API?

Yes! Searchbug is a reputable provider of Background Check API. It provides real-time data from multiple sources, including criminal records, sex offender registries, and terrorist watch lists. This is a great tool for web and mobile developers designing new applications, software, systems, and websites.

Background checks can help businesses to ensure the safety and security of employees, customers, and the workplace by identifying individuals with criminal records or a history of violence. Many industries also have a legal requirement to conduct a background check for roles involving sensitive information such as financial transactions. 

Also, background checks can verify the accuracy of information provided by your potential hires, customers, or business partners. And finally, background checks can uncover instances of fraud, including identity theft, falsified credentials, etc. 

There is a two-API Call Process:

1. The first step in our background check API process is a background search to correctly identify your subject. This will typically include matching names, addresses, and dates of birth.

2. Once you identified your subject, you can now obtain the actual background detailed report.
