Overview

Submit one or more candidates for background verification in a single API call. The platform creates a BGV case for each candidate and triggers all requested checks asynchronously — the API returns immediately after accepting and validating the payload. You receive a webhook notification at your configured URL when each case reaches a terminal state.

Authorization

Every request must include your API key as a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>

API keys are scoped to your organisation. Contact support to obtain or rotate a key.

BGV Lifecycle

  ┌──────────────┐
  │  Case Created │   ← cases_created[].case_id returned here
  └──────┬───────┘
         │  (async — checks run in the background)

  └──────────────┘

Use the case_id from the response to download the final report via the BGV Report Download endpoint.

Webhook Notification

When a case completes (all requested checks are processed), a POST request is sent to your configured webhook URL. The payload includes the case_id so you can map it back to the candidate you submitted. Webhook payload (example):

{
  "candidate": {
    "email": "priya@example.com",
    "id": "894bf8c549654ea586286733c4d31db3",
    "name": "Priya Sharma"
  },
  "report_url": "<FILE_URL>",
  "case_id": "8a4d5a09b75e41dda935f3f41fc6cbae",
  "completed_at": "2026-06-04T13:38:45.577049+00:00",
  "event": "bgv.case.completed",
  "org_id": "<YOUR_API_KEY>",
  "status": "completed"
}

On receiving this webhook, use the case_id to call the Report Download API and fetch the final report.

Responses

On success the API returns the created cases. Use each case_id to track the case and download its report.

Error responses

Status	Meaning
`400`	Validation failed — missing/empty `candidates` or `checks`, unknown check key, or a candidate missing/invalid a required field. The message identifies the candidate index and the offending field(s).
`402`	Insufficient credits to cover the request.
`403`	One or more requested checks are not enabled for your account.
`500`	Internal server error.

Validation error (example):

{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Candidate at index 0 missing required fields for requested checks: {\"criminal_check\": [\"permanent_address\"]}"
}

Notes

Maximum 500 candidates per request.
If any candidate (or any nested entry within a candidate) fails validation, the entire request is rejected — there are no partial submissions.
case_id and candidate_id in the response are the same 32-character hex value.
