Perform Multi-Bureau Check

You can run this check immediately via our Demo Postman collection. It's publicly available and doesn't require an account.

Overview of flow

1. Create a client

The first step in creating any check is to create a client from your backend server. For this type of check, a client of type person must be created.

Example request for creating a client

curl -X POST https://api.complycube.com/v1/clients \
     -H 'Authorization: <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{
           "type": "person",
           "email": "john.doe@example.com",
           "personDetails": {
                "firstName": "John",
                "lastName": "Doe",
                "dob": "1990-01-01",
                "ssn": "123-45-6789"
            }
        }'

const { ComplyCube } = require("@complycube/api");

const complycube = new ComplyCube({ apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY>" });

const client = await complycube.client.create({
  type: "person",
  email: "john.doe@example.com",
  personDetails: {
    firstName: "John",
    lastName: "Doe",
    dob: "1990-01-01",
    ssn: "123456789"
  }
});

from complycube import ComplyCubeClient
cc_api = ComplyCubeClient(api_key='<YOUR_API_KEY>')

new_client = {
    'type':'person',
    'email':'john.doe@example.com',
    'personDetails': {
        'firstName':'John',
        'lastName':'Doe',
        'dob': '1990-01-01',
        'ssn': '123456789'
    }
}

client = cc_api.clients.create(**new_client)

use ComplyCube\ComplyCubeClient;

$ccapi = new ComplyCubeClient('<YOUR_API_KEY>');

$result = $ccapi->clients()->create([
    'type' => 'person',
    'email' => 'john.doe@example.com',
    'personDetails' => [
        'firstName' => 'John',
        'lastName' => 'Doe',
        'dob' => '1990-01-01',
        'ssn' => '123456789'
    ]
]);

using ComplyCube.Net;
using ComplyCube.Net.Resources.Clients;

var clientApi = new ClientApi(new ComplyCubeClient("<YOUR_API_KEY>"));

var newClient = new ClientRequest {
  type = "person",
  email = "john.doe@example.com",
  personDetails = new PersonDetails {
    firstName = "John",
    lastName = "Doe",
    dob = "1990-01-01",
    ssn = "123456789"
  }
}

var client = await clientApi.CreateAsync(newClient);

Example response

The response will contain an id (the Client ID). It is required for the next step.

{
    "id": "5eb04fcd0f3e360008035eb1",
    "type": "person",
    "email": "john.doe@example.com",

    },
    "createdAt": "2021-01-04T17:24:29.146Z",
    "updatedAt": "2021-01-04T17:24:29.146Z"
}

2. Create an address

Create an address by providing the Client ID and address details.

const address = await complycube.address.create("5eb04fcd0f3e360008035eb1", {
  line: "47th Test Avenue 323",
  city: "Manhattan",
  postalCode: "10001",

    'city': 'Manhattan',
    'postalCode': '10001',
    'state': 'NY',
    'country': 'US'
}

address = cc_api.addresses.create('5eb04fcd0f3e360008035eb1',**new_address)

$address = $ccapi->address()->create(
    '5eb04fcd0f3e360008035eb1',
    [
        'line' => '47th Test Avenue 323',
        'city' => 'Manhattan',
        'postalCode' => '10001',
        'state' => 'NY',
        'country' => 'US'
    ]
);

var addressRequest = new AddressRequest {
  clientId = "5eb04fcd0f3e360008035eb1",
  line = "47th Test Avenue 323",
  city = "Manhattan",
  postalCode = "10001",
  state = "NY",
  country = "US"

Example request for creating a check

curl -X POST https://api.complycube.com/v1/checks \
     -H 'Authorization: <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{
          "clientId":"5eb04fcd0f3e360008035eb1",
          "addressId":"5ebd40714f23960008c81528",
          "type": "multi_bureau_check"
        }'

const check = await complycube.check.create("5eb04fcd0f3e360008035eb1", {
    addressId: "5ebd40714f23960008c81528",
    type: "multi_bureau_check"
});

check = cc_api.checks.create(

    [
        'type' => 'multi_bureau_check',
        'addressId' => '5ebd40714f23960008c81528'
    ]
);

var checkRequest = new CheckRequest {
  clientId = "5eb04fcd0f3e360008035eb1",
  addressId = "5ebd40714f23960008c81528",

4. Retrieve outcome

ComplyCube will perform the check. You can retrieve a check's outcome and breakdown via the API.

If you have set up webhooks, a notification is sent upon completion of the check.

Example request for retrieving the check outcome

curl -X GET https://api.complycube.com/v1/checks/5ebd40714f23960008c81527 \
     -H 'Authorization: <YOUR_API_KEY>'

const check = await complycube.check.get("5ebd40714f23960008c81527");

check = cc_api.checks.get('5ebd40714f23960008c81527')

$check = $ccapi->checks()->get('5ebd40714f23960008c81527');
