How this service works
Screen a US college or university name against the federal DAPIP database: fuzzy name search returning ranked institution candidates, each with its DAPIP id, OPEID, IPEDS unit id, state and an accredited flag. Cheap first step before edu/verify.
Output
A ranked list of up to 15 (default 5) institution candidates, each containing: DAPIP institution ID, OPEID, IPEDS unit ID, full institution name, US state, and a boolean accredited flag — ordered by fuzzy name match relevance.
Example use cases
Pre-verify applicant's claimed college
“A job applicant listed 'Boston College' as their alma mater — can you fuzzy-search that name in the federal DAPIP database and show me the top 3 matching institutions with their OPEID and accreditation status so I know which one to verify against?”
Resolve ambiguous school name before transcript request
“I need to request transcripts from 'Cal State Fullerton' but I'm not sure of the exact official name — can you search DAPIP for the top 5 matches and give me the IPEDS unit ID and state for each?”
Validate school list in bulk intake form
“A student wrote 'University of Phoenix' on their financial aid form — run that name through the DAPIP institution screen and tell me if it comes back as accredited, along with its OPEID.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://payai.agentstools.dev/edu/screenWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint as a cheap first-pass screening step when you have a freeform institution name and need to resolve it to a canonical federal record (OPEID/IPEDS) before running a more expensive accreditation verification. Prefer it over a full verification endpoint when you only need candidate matching, or when input quality is uncertain and you want to confirm a match exists first.
Side effects
- No candidates found if the name is too abbreviated or misspelled beyond fuzzy threshold
- Ambiguous results when a common word (e.g. 'National University') matches many institutions
- Rate or payment errors (402) if USDC micropayment is not included
- Empty result set for non-US institutions not in DAPIP
- Limit parameter out of range (1–15) returns a validation error
