  title: Accurate Background Adjudication Orders API
  description: 'The Accurate API (v3) lets platforms embed employment background screening into their own web and mobile applications. Integrators create candidates, order preset or custom screening packages, track order status and estimated completion time, attach documents, adjudicate results, and retrieve completed reports. A free developer account and a sandbox environment are available for testing; production access is provisioned under a screening services agreement.
