  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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Checkr Invitations API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
