Ways to integrate

Ship the no-code options today; go programmatic when your volume justifies it. Every path tags verifications to your platform so you can track them.

Available now

Embeddable badge

A copy-and-paste "Verify with AccreditedNow" button that routes your users into a co-branded verification flow. No code, no setup. Grab the snippet on the For Platforms page.

Available now

Co-branded link

A verification link carrying your name and logo, with a live dashboard that tags and tracks every investor who comes through your platform.

Self-serve

Webhook + keyed API

A verification-status webhook that notifies your system the moment a referred investor is verified, plus a keyed REST API. Free to start — create an account, test in the sandbox, verify your firm to go live.

The certificate object

Every verification resolves to a certificate — the public, thin record a sponsor can confirm. It is the same object the webhook delivers and the API returns. It never contains the investor's financial documents or figures.

Test it now — the public sample certificate

The certificate ID ANV-5AMP-7E26-DEM0 resolves publicly and returns a canned demonstration, so you can build your parsing before you have a key:

# A public sample certificate — no key required
curl "https://accreditednow.org/api/verify-certificate?id=ANV-5AMP-7E26-DEM0"

What comes back

{
  "status": "sample",           // verified | expired | not_found | sample
  "id": "ANV-5AMP-7E26-DEM0",
  "name": "Jordan A. Rivera",
  "city": "Austin",
  "state": "Texas",
  "subjectType": "Individual",
  "verificationType": "Individual",
  "accreditationBasis": "Net Worth",
  "dealName": "Cedar Point Multifamily Fund II",
  "issuedDate": "2026-03-03",
  "expiryDate": "2026-06-01",
  "verifiedBy": "Christopher A. Smith, CPA",
  "identityVerified": true,        // present when the onboarding add-on ran
  "identityVerifiedAt": "2026-03-03",
  "sanctionsScreened": true,
  "sanctionsScreenedAt": "2026-03-03",
  "sanctionsResult": "no matches"
}

Live certificate lookups are access-controlled to prevent enumeration — real IDs are 2^60, not guessable, and are not returned to anonymous callers. Request a scoped key to check live certificates programmatically.

Verification webhook

Set your endpoint URL in your dashboard and we POST a signed verification.completed event the moment an investor referred by your platform is verified — no polling. Every delivery is HMAC-signed and retried on failure.

// POST https://your-platform.example/hooks/accredited
// X-AccreditedNow-Signature: t=<unix>,v1=<hmac-sha256>
{
  "id": "evt_ANV-7F2K-9QX4-M3PD.completed",
  "event": "verification.completed",
  "version": "2026-08-18",
  "livemode": true,
  "data": {
    "certificate_id": "ANV-7F2K-9QX4-M3PD",
    "status": "verified",
    "investor": { "name": "Jordan A. Rivera", "email": "jordan@example.com", "type": "individual" },
    "basis": "Net Worth",
    "verification_date": "2026-08-14",
    "expiration_date": "2026-11-12",
    "checks": { "identity_verified": true, "sanctions_screened": true },
    "certificate_url": "https://accreditednow.org/verify-certificate?id=ANV-7F2K-9QX4-M3PD"
  }
}

Full payload, headers, a signature-verification sample and retry/idempotency rules are in the API reference. You set the endpoint URL and rotate its signing secret yourself in your dashboard.

Getting API access

Self-serve and free to start — no call required. Create an account and you are in your dashboard in under a minute.

1

Create your account

Firm name and email on the Get API access page. Free, instant, and it drops you straight into your developer dashboard — no call, no contract to start.

2

Generate a key and test in the sandbox

Issue a key (and choose who pays: the investor at checkout, or your own seats), then run the full create → status → webhook flow against the sandbox with no real verification or charge.

3

Verify your firm and go live

Complete the quick automated business check (KYB), swap your test key for a live one, and every investor who verifies is tagged to you — with a letter your deals accept, typically within 24 hours.

Want identity verification and sanctions/PEP screening on your investors too? It rides the same flow — see investor onboarding.

Developer questions

Is there a REST API for accredited-investor verification?

Yes. A copy-paste badge and a co-branded link are available with no code, and a keyed REST API plus a verification-status webhook are self-serve: create a free account, generate a key, and test in the sandbox before you go live. See the API reference.

How do I get an API key?

Self-serve from your dashboard. Create an account (free, no call), generate a key scoped to your firm, and test against the sandbox. A quick automated firm check (KYB) unlocks live verifications.

Can I test without a key?

Yes. The sample certificate ANV-5AMP-7E26-DEM0 resolves publicly and returns a canned demonstration of the certificate object, so you can build and test your parsing before you have a key. Live certificate lookups are access-controlled to prevent enumeration.

Do you send webhooks?

Yes, on request. When an investor referred by your platform is verified, we POST a JSON notification to your endpoint carrying the certificate object — the certificate ID, status, verification type, issued and expiry dates, and, when the onboarding add-on is enabled, identity and sanctions/PEP flags.

What does a certificate check return?

A JSON certificate object with a status (verified, expired, or not_found), the certificate ID, the verification type and accreditation basis, issued and expiry dates, the verifying CPA, and — when the onboarding add-on ran — identity-verified and sanctions-screened flags with dates. It never returns the investor's underlying financial documents or figures.

What does it cost to integrate?

Nothing to embed the badge or co-branded link. Investors pay for their own verification at partner pricing, or you prepay seat packs so verification is free to your users. The REST API and verification webhook are self-serve and free to use — generate a key at Get API access and pick, per key, whether the investor pays at checkout or it draws your prepaid seats. High-volume integrations can ask us about custom pricing.
