Understanding check results
Interpreting and understanding the full set of results that can come back from checks requires a lot more context than what we can give in the API Reference. This section attempts to address that deficit with a more detailed discussion of check results. It is constantly growing and evolving and we welcome suggestions for more example flows or deeper discussions on results.
Overview
Whenever the /entity/verify process is run against an individual, a highly detailed response will be returned that covers the wide variety of checks that can be performed.
This same result set will also be returned if GET /entity/{id}/checks is queried as well.
The result set is broken down into sections, each of which provides details around a check type or family of check types. Various forms of summary information are provided as well.
It should also be noted that when a verification check is run against an entity, the result will not only return the details of the latest check but will also factor in still-relevant data of previous checks too, to provide a comprehensive picture of the entity.
The following pages will break down the various sections that can be found in the CheckEntityCheckResultsObject, (see the API Reference for details).
The Process Result Object
Before jumping in, it is worth reading the overview of one of the workhorse structures of the API result sets: The ProcessResultObject
The CheckEntityCheckResultsObject
This is the object that is returned from all /entity/verify and /entity/checks calls. It is broken down into the following sub-structures:
- entityProfileResults
- checkSummary
- amlResultSets
- checkRisk
- duplicateCheckResults
- blacklistCheckResults
- manualCheckResults
Other Results
Not all checks get their own dedicated section of the result structure but are found inside their related result sections. These are looked at individually below:
