Frequently Asked Questions
Are Searchbug APIs suitable for KYC compliance?
Yes. Many financial and insurance organizations use them to validate customer information before onboarding.
How do I pay for API services?
All APIs operate on a prepaid balance. Load between $10 and $5,000, and each successful query deducts from your balance. When funds run low, your balance automatically replenishes with your preset amount.
How does the API pricing work?
When a query is successful (called a "hit"), charges apply. There is no charge if there is no information found on a query. Some APIs like Criminal Check are priced per search, where No Results means that a person does not have a criminal record, which is considered a successful query with useful information.
The API price decreases as your monthly volume increases, making it cost-effective for businesses handling high search volumes. You can also apply for Annual Plan if you want to lock in your rates and save up to 60% compared to a non-commitment monthly plan.
Can I test the API before purchasing?
Yes! We offer free API testing for qualified users. Register for a no-obligation Sandbox API Test Account, and you'll receive a limited number of live queries to evaluate the quality of our data before fully integrating.
How often is the data updated?
Searchbug uses multiple data sources and advanced algorithms to ensure data is fresh, accurate, and continuously updated.
