call03 9948 4089Download an adhoc check as PDF returns a printable report for one adhoc screening check, suitable for a customer file. It mirrors the on-screen report in the portal: the subject snapshot, the configuration in force when the check ran, per-match details and a results summary. Generating the PDF is not billed.
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.
New accounts begin with sandbox access.
A one-off screen still needs evidence of what was checked, how, and what was found. This endpoint turns a completed adhoc check into that document without re-running anything. Your system requests it by UUID and stores the PDF against the customer record.
The report opens with the subject snapshot and the configuration in force for the check, so the reader can see the search strictness and scope the result was produced under.
Per-match details and a results summary follow, matching what a reviewer sees in the portal for the same check.
The response is application/pdf with a Content-Disposition header naming the file after the check number.
An adhoc check is a screening run with no program or entity. The PDF is a rendering of that check, produced on request from the data already held.
Rendering is performed on demand and typically takes between 10 and 60 seconds depending on the number of matches. Raise your HTTP client's read timeout; the 30-second default in most libraries is not enough for larger reports.
Each screening check type you launch is charged to your WatchEye account when the request is accepted. The rate for each check type is set for your account and communicated by your Global Data account manager. Statements with a breakdown of API calls and their costs are available in the WatchEye portal.
Show an adhoc check returns the same check as JSON. List adhoc checks finds the check to download. Download a check as PDF does the same for a check that ran against an entity.
Sandbox accounts are provisioned by your Global Data account manager. API keys are created and managed in the WatchEye portal, and the same endpoints serve sandbox and live; the account behind the key decides which environment you are in.
