The response is the public record itself: kind, status, standing, registrar, verified members and the constitution in force. No scraped data, no stale filings.
Entity.ID holds one public record per entity. The Verify API is the same record, read by your software.
01
Onboarding
Replace the certificate-of-incorporation upload with a lookup. Approve in seconds, not days.
02
Payments and payouts
Check standing before money moves, and again before it moves the next time.
03
Agent counterparties
An agent calling your API carries an entity. Check its owner and mandate before you serve it.
04
Marketplaces
Show a verified badge next to sellers that are real entities with verified members.
