Steps
Review Certn's published API reference for background screening, confirming whether your account uses the standard or partner-account version of the docs, since capabilities differ between them.
Create a candidate/applicant record and request the specific check or package type you need.
Poll the check's status or configure a webhook/callback to be notified when results are ready, following whichever mechanism your account's API version documents.
Retrieve the completed report once available, and store only the fields you're legally permitted to retain under applicable background-check regulations.
Known gotchas
Certn publishes two documentation surfaces (standard vs partner-account APIs) with differing capabilities — verify you're reading the one matching your account type before implementing.
Confirm the current auth scheme directly against Certn's live docs rather than assuming a specific header/key format.
As with any background-check integration, candidate consent and disclosure requirements are typically your application's responsibility, not the API's.
