  version: '1.0'
  x-endpointsModeled: true
  description: 'RESTful, FCRA-compliant employment background check API for GoodHire (a Checkr company). Background checks are ordered by creating a report object tied to a candidate and a screening package (product bundle); status changes are delivered via outbound webhooks. The API is split into a Customer API (a single company ordering its own reports) and a Partner API (HR platforms ordering on behalf of embedded employer requestors).


    Access is gated - request an API key from api@goodhire.com and build against the sandbox (https://api-sandbox.goodhire.com), which returns dummy report data, before moving to production.


    NOTE: This document mixes endpoints confirmed from GoodHire''s public docs with endpoints and schemas honestly modeled from documented resource patterns (x-endpointsModeled: true). It is a discovery aid, not a byte-for-byte mirror of GoodHire''s official reference.'
