How this service works
Sweep a person's name across five US public registries in one call: FINRA securities brokers, federal-court attorneys (CourtListener), federal inmates (BOP), Texas trade licenses (TDLR), and Texas real-estate licenses (TREC). Returns one block per registry with found/error status, match count, and the matching records — name-matched CANDIDATES, deliberately not merged into one identity (same name does not mean same person; verify with each registry's identifier before acting). Due-diligence, KYC screening triage, and background-research staple. Each registry is also a standalone endpoint (/api/license/broker, /api/law/attorney-lookup, /api/gov/inmate-locator, /api/license/trades, /api/license/real-estate) for follow-up by identifier.
Output
A JSON object containing name-matched candidates from each supported registry (brokers, inmates, attorneys, Texas licensed tradespeople, Texas real estate agents), including registry-specific identifiers like CRD numbers and license numbers, plus a note reminding the caller that matches are NOT identity-resolved across registries.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you search across FINRA BrokerCheck, federal inmate records, attorney databases, and Texas licensing registries for someone named 'Michael Johnson' — show me up to 5 matches per registry?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://2s.io/api/person/cross-registryWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to quickly cross-check a person's name against multiple U.S. public regulatory and government registries in a single call, especially for financial advisor due diligence (FINRA BrokerCheck), legal background checks (attorneys, federal inmates), or Texas professional licensing. Prefer this over calling each registry's API individually when you want a unified response without managing multiple integrations.
Side effects
- Name not found in any registry — all registries return found:false and empty matches arrays
- Registry-specific error — one or more registries return a non-null error field while others succeed
- Ambiguous or common name returns up to the limit per registry with no further disambiguation
- Rate limit or payment failure — HTTP 402 returned if payment not provided
- Invalid or missing 'name' parameter — request rejected at schema validation
