openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Checkr Account Invitations API
  description: The Checkr API is a RESTful interface for running compliant employment background checks. Employers, staffing firms, and platform partners create candidates, send invitations, order packages, and retrieve reports composed of individual screenings - SSN trace, county/state/national/federal criminal searches, sex offender registry, motor vehicle records, and education / employment verifications. The API also covers adverse action workflows, subscriptions and continuous checks, node/hierarchy and geo account structure, documents, Form I-9, and webhooks for event-driven report status updates. Authentication is HTTP Basic auth with your secret API key as the username and an empty password; Checkr Partner integrations use OAuth. All responses are JSON. This document models the widely used, publicly documented endpoints; it is not exhaustive of every screening type Checkr offers.
