Offendersearch API

Offendersearch, Inc. operates a REST API that unifies US sex-offender registry data — all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the US territories and NSOPW, 58 registries in all — behind a single authenticated endpoint. One call searches every jurisdiction and returns scored, de-duplicated records in one normalized 76-field schema, each carrying per-source provenance, a deep link back to the originating registry, and its own lastCheckedAt timestamp. Its defining contract is completeness labelling: an incomplete search is reported as partial with per-source status and a closed incompleteReason enum rather than returned as a silently empty result, so a zero from a registry that did not finish reads as UNKNOWN rather than NO MATCH. The API offers synchronous, asynchronous (with signed webhooks and Idempotency-Key retries) and 1,000-row batch/CSV modes, per-request freshness tiers, consolidated timestamped verification-report PDFs with a citation on every record, and a drop-in offenders.io compatibility endpoint. It publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 contract in JSON and YAML, an RFC 9727 api-catalog, an llms.txt, a markdown twin of every documentation page, and a documented (private-beta) MCP server. Pricing is purely metered at $0.15 per call, $0.11 above 2,000 a month. Offendersearch is expressly not a consumer reporting agency and its results are not a consumer report.

Offendersearch API publishes 16 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Account API, Admin API, Auth API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include Background Checks, Identity Verification, Public Records, Criminal Records, and Compliance.

The Offendersearch API catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Offendersearch API’s developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, pricing, signup flow, support, and 21 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, 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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
Pagination +5 pts — share of collection GETs (an array, or one wrapped in data/items/results ...) that declare a page/limit/offset/cursor parameter, a Link header or a next/cursor field; na with no collection GETs
Protected Resource Metadata +5 pts — a served /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource carrying `resource` (documented), and naming its authorization_servers (verified)

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 the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/offendersearch-api/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/offendersearch-api to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

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.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Biometrics Testing (biometric recognition vendors, identity verification depth)	undeclared	-	1	-

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.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

x-personal-data:
  facet: This API returns records about identifiable natural persons — US sex-offender registry entries, name-matched and
    scored.
  reviewed: '2026-08-18'
  disposition: retained-with-annotation
  basis: Retained under the people-facet rule rather than suppressed. Every operation is authenticated (X-API-Key) and billed
    — an unkeyed call returns 402 — against public registry data the provider aggregates as its stated business. That is categorically
    different from an unadvertised unauthenticated endpoint leaking PII the operator does not know is open, which is the case
    the suppression rule exists for. No agent skill or MCP tool here grants access that a paid account does not already grant.
  checks_run:
  - Scanned every generated artifact for real-person literals — names, DOB, street addresses, SSN-shaped strings. None found.
  - The only name literals in this repo (Smith, Tony Wilson) are the PROVIDER's own documentation examples, carried verbatim
    in openapi/_original/. No live API response was used as an example.
  constraints_carried:
  - Not a consumer reporting agency — results must not be the sole basis for an FCRA-governed decision.
  - Some jurisdictions restrict commercial use — check legal.commercialUse on GET /v1/sources.
  - A zero from a jurisdiction that did not finish means UNKNOWN, not NO MATCH. Never report "no record found" while counts.sourcesIncomplete
    > 0.
