Overview

TINCheck offers an integrated web service that allows developers to call all validations programmatically. This enables you to build-in any of TINCheck's validation directly into your existing applications or web pages.

TINPlus (Bulk files)

For bulk file upload specifications and details visit here. For real-time validation continue reading below.

Example Uses

  • Add validations to your online account opening process.
  • Add validations to your AP vendor screens.
  • Add validations to your vendor database backend.
  • Add validations anywhere in your existing processes.

Web Service URL

The TINCheck web service is located at https://www.tincheck.com/pvsws/pvsservice.asmx?wsdl

Web Service Login & Password

Any TINCheck user login and password is valid for use with the web service. That means any interactive user that can login to the website and run checks can be used with the web service. This even includes trial accounts. Just pass your TINCheck login as the "UserLogin" parameter and your password as the "UserPassword" parameter. Note: The "UserID" and "UserEncryption" parameters are not used and should be left empty.
