These are the Real-Time SDKs (RTSDK), formerly known as the Elektron SDK (ESDK). These SDKs encompass these open source Real-Time APIs: Enterprise Message API (EMA) and Enterprise Transport API (ETA). These SDKs are available for download and contains pre-built libraries on support platforms and compilers. They are also availble on GitHub with instructions for how to build the libraries.

The API provides the ability to screen entity names, with or without secondary fields such as date of birth for individuals.
Retrieve the results of the screening process from the World-Check database.
Flag cases for Ongoing Screening, and retrieve the World-Check results from the Ongoing Screening process.
Upload internal and third-party lists to screen against on the World-Check One platform using Watchlist Screening.
Synchronous or asynchronous screening API requests.

The Qual-ID RDP API helps to automate your business processes by performing Identity Verification and Document Verification, so that you can comply with regulations and identify potential financial crime.
You can onboard your customers faster and easier with robust API documentation, trusted and vetted data sources, normalized data fields, and an easy RESTful API integration.
