Why Developers Choose Our REST API 

Lightweight & Efficient

REST APIs use JSON/XML which requires less bandwidth and processing power than a SOAP-Based API XML structure.  

Simple Implementation

The REST-API follows standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) that developers are already familiar with, making integrations easy and straightforward.  

Flexibility in Data Formats

The REST-API supports multiple data formats including JSON, XML, HTML, and plain text.  

TINCheck offers a SOAP-based API upon request.  


The TINCheck API was built with developers in mind. Our secure REST-based API ensures your sensitive customer and vendor data remains protected throughout the verification process, with enterprise-grade encryption and dedicated API keys that never expose your platform credentials.
