What is a Credit Scoring API?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a gateway that allows your systems (CRM, ERP, e-commerce platform) to communicate automatically with a scoring engine.

How It Works

1

Secure authentication via API key (Authorization: Bearer header).

2

Submit a scoring request (e.g., company information, bank statements, balance sheets).

3

Instant response containing: a score, default probability, recommendation (accept, reject, request guarantees).

Speed

All within seconds, without human intervention.

Key Advantages

Speed

Near-instant decision for a prospect or customer.

Scalability

Process hundreds or thousands of requests without overburdening teams.

Consistency

Same criteria applied to all decisions, less arbitrariness.

Native Integration

Plugs into your existing tools (CRM, ERP, SaaS platforms).

On-Demand Re-Scoring

Concrete Use Cases

Technical Implementation

Integration Steps

FAQ

How to integrate a credit scoring API into my existing system?
