Complete Criminal Checks

About Complete Criminal Checks

Complete Criminal Checks offers a REST API for integrating criminal background checks into applications. The API provides access to four data feeds covering arrest records, sex offender registries, inmate databases, and most wanted lists through a single unified endpoint, returning JSON responses via GET requests authenticated with an API key.

The API uses a credit-based pricing model with no monthly fees or commitments: 1 credit equals 1 search, and credits do not expire. Packages range from 10,000 credits for $10.00 up to 250,000 credits for $60.00, with per-credit costs decreasing at higher tiers. New signups receive 25 free credits, and no credit card is required to start.

The service is aimed at developers building applications that need programmatic access to public criminal record data, and provides code examples in cURL, PHP, JavaScript, and Python. Documentation, usage analytics, and support are included. Per the site's disclaimer, results are drawn from public records and are not intended as the sole basis for decisions related to employment, housing, or credit.
