Get Blade Review

Returns results across 12 verification sources including OFAC, TINCheck, MaxMind, Google Places, MasterCard Termination, and others — giving underwriters a comprehensive risk assessment view in a single call.

Endpoint

GET /api/v1/merchant/bladeReview

Authentication

Basic HTTP Authentication required. Encode username:password in Base64 and pass in the Authorization header:

When to use

Use this endpoint during underwriting review to get a consolidated view of all automated risk and compliance checks run against a merchant. Each result shows the check category, what was queried, the raw scan result, what the application requires, and the final verification outcome. Useful for identifying merchants that need manual review due to OFAC hits, TIN mismatches, or fraud signals.

Error Codes

Common Mistakes

• Expecting real-time checks — this endpoint returns stored results from the last time Blade checks were run. If checks have not been run yet, the array may be empty.
• Ignoring Review results — verificationResult: "Review" means the check did not pass or fail automatically and requires manual underwriter decision.
• Not checking all 12 categories — a single Fail in OFAC or MasterCard Termination may be grounds for rejection regardless of other results.
