Steps

  1. Request API access via the form at forms.office.com/e/CVeFceLWSe, since this is a gated developer program, not self-serve
  2. Log in via FSC Connect and subscribe to a plan (Basic/Premium/Enterprise)
  3. Call GET https://fsc-dynamics-apm.azure-api.net/api/FSCCertificateStatusSearch/{certificateLicenseCode} (e.g. FSC-C127951), with an Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header and Cache-Control: no-cache
  4. Parse the JSON response fields (LicenseStatus, ExpiryDate, CompanyName, Standard, CertificateType, Products)
  5. For simple manual lookups instead of API integration, use the free public UI at search.fsc.org (no API behind it)
