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.

On request

Webhook + keyed API

A verification-status webhook that notifies your system the moment a referred investor is verified, plus a keyed certificate-verification API. Provisioned per partner — request access.

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

When an investor referred by your platform is verified, we POST the certificate object to your endpoint. Point us at a URL and we handle retries and signing during onboarding.

// POST https://your-platform.example/hooks/accredited
{
  "event": "verification.completed",
  "certificate": {
    "id": "ANV-7F2K-9QX4-M3PD",
    "status": "verified",
    "verificationType": "Individual",
    "issuedDate": "2026-08-14",
    "expiryDate": "2026-11-12",
    "identityVerified": true,
    "sanctionsScreened": true
  },
  "ref": "YOUR-CODE"
}

Field set finalized when we provision your endpoint. The ref is the tracking code that attributes the verification to your platform.

Getting API access

Keys are provisioned per partner today, so we can match the integration and pricing to your platform. Self-serve key management is on the roadmap.

1

Tell us about your platform

Your product, expected verification volume, and what you want to connect — badge, co-branded link, webhook, or API. The short form on the For Platforms page is all we need.

2

We provision a scoped key

We issue a key scoped to your account and share the endpoint reference and webhook setup. You test against the sample certificate while we wire your tracking code.

3

Go live

Drop in the badge or co-branded link, point your webhook at our notifications, 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, provisioned per partner. A copy-paste badge and a co-branded link are available with no code today. For programmatic access — a verification-status webhook and a keyed certificate-verification API — request access and we issue a scoped key and share the endpoint reference. Self-serve key management is on the roadmap.

How do I get an API key?

Tell us about your platform and expected volume; we provision a key scoped to your account and share the endpoint reference. Keys are issued per partner today rather than self-serve, so we can match the integration and pricing to your use case.

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. Webhook and API access are included with a platform integration; we scope pricing to your volume when you request access.

Ready to connect your platform?

Send us a two-line note about your product and volume, and we will reply with the right fit — badge, co-branded link, webhook, or API — plus your tracking code and a scoped key.
