Introduction

The Connect API is organized around REST and utilizes predictable, resource-oriented URLs with JSON being returned in all responses.

Please visit Connect API V3 documentation for a deeper look at current Connect API Features

Authentication

Authentication to the API occurs via HTTP Basic Authorization with the API identifier and password being sent in the Authorization header.

Note

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.

Credentials

By default, the account password will expire after 90 days. To reset the password a manual request must be made to connectapisupport@experian.com

Errors

Connect API returns conventional HTTP status codes. For a more detailed explanation of the error, Connect API provides its own error codes. Sometimes, when Precise ID is involved, Precise ID error codes are also provided.

In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error in the request, and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Experian's service.
