Checkr is a technology-driven background check platform for employment screening. Its REST API lets employers, staffing firms, and platform partners run compliant background checks programmatically - creating candidates, sending invitations, ordering packages, and retrieving reports composed of individual screenings (SSN trace, county/state/national/federal criminal searches, sex offender registry, motor vehicle records, education and employment verifications, and more). The API also covers adverse action workflows, continuous checks and subscriptions, node/hierarchy and geo account structure, Form I-9, documents, and webhooks for event-driven report status updates. Authentication is HTTP Basic auth with a secret API key, with OAuth for Checkr Partner integrations.
Checkr publishes 56 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Account API, Adverse Actions API, Candidates API, and 53 more. Tagged areas include Background Checks, Employment Screening, Compliance, Human Resources, and Identity Verification.
Checkr’s developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, documentation, and 10 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Employment & Payroll regime (on an ambiguous tag, where no other regime matched), so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Other styles, a README pill and a shields.io endpoint are on the badge page.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/checkr: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market:
its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted:
not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted.
Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Use this endpoint to return the Assessments for Reports. Note: Listen to the `report.updated` webhook to determine when an Assessment has been applied to a report.

name: Checkr Hierarchy (Enabled by request) API
description: 'Use the Hierarchy endpoint to structure your Account as a grouping of individual entities (Nodes) that represent
your business with respect to your hiring and background check needs.
The parent-child relationship of Nodes may then be used to manage the relationship of your Packages and other account
settings to Users and Candidates within your Account. Once defined, use the Checkr Dashboard to assign Nodes to Users,
Packages, your Positive Adjudication Matrix, and other aspects of your Checkr Account.
Specifying a unique ID (custom_id) for each Node in the hierarchy allows you to edit the structure of your hierarchy without
dissociating any Packages, PAMs, or Users assigned directly to the individual nodes. As nodes are moved to different locations
within the hierarchy they will inherit Packages or PAMs from their new parent that may differ from the last, but Packages
assigned directly to the node will not change.'
