The short answer: Screen via API lets your systems send an applicant's identity details to Proof and get back a risk level, with no applicant tracking system (ATS) integration needed. It's available to select organizations, and your Customer Success Manager (CSM) turns it on.
How It Works
Send identity details
Your system sends Proof the applicant's name, email, phone, address, and date of birth. You can also include your own reference ID, such as an internal applicant ID, so you can match each result to your records.
Get a risk assessment
Proof returns a risk level (low, medium, high, or inconclusive) and signal-level indicators that show what was evaluated, so you can decide what to do next.
Send live applicants to a verification page (optional)
If your applicant is in a browser flow, redirect them to a Proof-hosted verification page. The applicant sees a short screen while Proof checks signals from their device, then returns to your application.

Summary Checklist
- Screen via API gives you a risk level and signal-level indicators for an applicant, with no ATS integration needed.
- It's in Limited Availability and off by default, so ask your CSM or Proof Sales to enable it.
- Send the applicant's name, email, phone, address, and date of birth, plus your own reference ID if you'd like.
- Redirect live applicants to the Proof-hosted verification page. Skip it when no applicant is waiting.
- Treat the risk level as a signal that informs your decision, not a final determination.
- A 403 response means your organization isn't enabled yet.
