Introduction

The Markaaz API Services enable enterprises to verify a business’s identity in milliseconds and automate approval decision making to streamline onboarding processes and reduce risks associated with bringing on new small business partners. Markaaz’s unique Directory of over 300 million businesses, 98% of which are small businesses, powers our set of easy-to-use APIs and no-code offerings.

Markaaz API Services help overcome common onboarding pain points that enterprises face :

• Inability to verify many small businesses
• Slow application completion
• High cost to manually process/identify many small business records
• Ability to maintain compliance with existing customers
• Ability to monitor changes in small business customer information

Explore our documentation and API reference to learn how the Markaaz Partner APIs can be used to supercharge your onboarding, monitoring, and compliance processes.

Get the answers you need in one API call.

Access the data you need when you need it by accessing the Markaaz Directory. With data on over 300 million businesses and continuous updates there is no need to manually create a business and then wait hours for records to be created and verified.

In the following Authentication section, we'll walk you through making your first test call to get some business details in the form of our  Firmographic Data.

The Business Verification API Suite

These APIs enable enterprises to tap into the Markaaz Directory in real-time to verify small business applicants. With just a few variables, the Business Verification API searches the Markaaz Directory and delivers Firmographic Data, Compliance AML Data and Business Health Data. This API suite is comprised of multiple API endpoints that are able to return a customized selection of our approximate 200 data points about the business you are attempting to verify based on your unique needs.

The Business Decisioning API Suite

These API's enable enterprises to build on the Business Verification APIs and apply a set of preconfigured rules across 12 metrics in real-time to supply an application decision and the details behind that decision based on metrics you set. To ensure a standardized set of metrics are used for each API request, the Markaaz Enterprise Portal is used to manage the settings.

Any decision can be audited by requesting the decisioning details to determine which of the rules were satisfied and which rules were not. Decision results can be tailored by editing the parameter thresholds using the Markaaz Enterprise Portal should you have changing business needs or would like to be more strict or less strict with your approval criteria.

The default values along with all decision parameter descriptions and data categories are listed in the guide for the Business Decisioning API Suite.

Request a Trial Key for Authentication

The Markaaz Enterprise Portal is also used to request a trial key. You will need to create a free account by providing us with a little information about your business. Once we've verified your contact information, you will be provided with a trial API Key and a Partner ID which you can then use to execute our Business Verification or Business Decisioning APIs. Certain premium enterprise features are disabled until you have a paid account. This is further described in the Integration sections.
