Deceased Check

ADC Check Bulk API

ADC Check Bulk runs the ADC Check for a list of people in a single call. Each person is answered on their own with the matching records from the Australian Death Check, so a customer base can be screened in one pass.

  • Each person is matched against the Australian Death Check exactly as the single ADC Check would, with the state and name match type on each record
  • A check_id echoed on each result so every answer lands against the right customer record
For developers

After the technical detail?

For the technical detail, go to the API documentation. It holds the request and response schema, the integration guides and the error codes for this endpoint.

What the check gives you

Screening a customer base for death records in one pass

Screening customers one at a time does not suit a periodic review of a whole base. ADC Check Bulk takes a list of people in one request and returns a result for each, with the same matching records a single ADC Check would return, so the results can be written back to the right customer records in one operation.

A result for every person sent

The results array holds one item per request item, each with its own list of matching death records, or an empty list.

Your own reference on each result

A check_id supplied on a request item is echoed on the matching result.

The full record for each match

Each match carries the names, date of birth, date or date range of death, state, ADC reference and name match type.

One person with no match does not fail the batch

A person with no matching record returns an empty match list. The rest of the batch is answered as normal.

How a check runs

Many subjects in, one answer per subject out

The list is sent as one request. Each person is matched against the Australian Death Check on their own and the results come back together in the same response.

Each request item carries the first name, optional middle name, last name and date of birth, and optionally a check_id. The reference documentation does not state a maximum number of items per request.

What it costs

A monthly subscription, drawn down as you run checks

Your subscription is credited to your account each month and each check consumes credits from it. If you go past the included amount, further checks are charged at a per-check rate. The rate depends on the volume you commit to, so the sales team is the fastest way to find where your business lands.

  • Volume-based pricing
  • No lock-in contract
How billing works
Subscribe monthly, spend it as credits
  • The monthly subscription arrives as credits on your account.
  • Each check draws down credits as it runs.
  • Checks beyond the included credits are billed per check.
  • Higher monthly volume moves you to a lower rate.

Questions

Questions we get asked about ADC Check Bulk

Do we need a developer to implement this?
Yes. The endpoint takes a JSON array of people and returns a JSON array of results, so a developer connects it to your batch or review job. A sandbox with a deterministic test dataset is provided at no usage cost, so the integration can be built and tested before production keys are issued.
What does our system need to send?
A requests array. Each item carries the first name, an optional middle name, the last name and the date of birth, and optionally a check_id.
What comes back for each person?
The check_id from the request and a list of matching records, each with the names, date of birth, date or date range of death, state, ADC reference and name match type.
How large a file can we process?
The reference documentation does not state a maximum number of people per request. The API allows 600 requests per minute by default, measured as a rolling average, and returns a 429 response above that rate. A higher limit can be requested through Global Data support.
Are the names we send stored by Global Data?
Personally identifiable information sent in a request is not stored or retained unless it is needed to process that request. Query data is stripped of PII before it is kept for audit. Data in transit and at rest is encrypted, and retention follows the Australian Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles. Global Data is not a credit bureau and does not create an access footprint on any record.
