Build background checks into anything

Our REST API gives you full programmatic access to every check we offer. Integrate in hours, not weeks.

order.js

const mbgc = require('@mybackgroundcheck/node');

const client = new mbgc.Client({ apiKey: process.env.MBGC_API_KEY });

const order = await client.orders.create({
  applicant_email: 'jane@example.com',
  checks: ['national_criminal', 'employment', 'mvr'],
});

console.log(order.id); // ord_abc123
