Overview
The Creditsafe Connect API is designed to provide reliable access to Creditsafe data and services. This article summarizes key SLA commitments, including availability, support response times, maintenance notifications, and change management.
Service Availability
Creditsafe’s Connect API has a target Availability of 99.5% (excluding periods of maintenance). The Service will be
provided 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Creditsafe Connect is considered Available when Creditsafe’s 3rd party monitoring solution verifies that a customer
can authenticate, search for and retrieve a report from 90% or more of the Home Countries that Creditsafe offers.
This monitoring is conducted by a 3rd party monitoring system from a location off Creditsafe’s network and at
internet sites around the world. The monitoring transactions are configured to test the service 24 hours a day, 7 days
per week.
Creditsafe operates a continuous integration and delivery pipeline methodology and releases to enhance this service
are performed regularly. During releases the response times provided by the API may degrade for a short time.
An on-call team monitor this service and respond to alerts outside US business hours for the platform where the
Creditsafe Connect Service resides. Software monitors these systems 24/7 and will alert these teams when an error
is detected. On-call teams will respond within 60 minutes. Any Data supplied by or in the control of third-party
providers shall not be subject to the Availability detailed above.

offline if it is deemed necessary.

Services Team to generate reports for specific customers.
