Getting Started

The XChange Advantage REST API provides a robust, expedient, and simple API for interacting with First Advantage Screening Services using RESTful transactions.

Using XChange Advantage REST API, you can integrate the following services from within your application:

•  Users API – Ability to create, update, and deactivate users
•  Subscriptions API – Ability to create and maintain Subscriptions to First Advantage’s Services.
•  Candidates API – Ability to create and maintain Candidates. 
•  Orders API – Ability to create, update and view First Advantage Screening Orders. Order Creation requires Subscription ID and Candidate ID. 
•  Webhooks – Receive real-time post to your URL for case Status notifications and screening results
