Connect API Reference
API Reference Overview
Introduction
This document provides information on how to interact with the Connect API to pull a consumers credit report and then use the Passport API to obtain a Nova Credit Passport®.
Framework and Protocol
The Nova Credit API is organized around REST. It uses resource-oriented URLs, HTTP response codes, and native HTTP functionality such as authentication and verbs. Note that our APIs are served over HTTPS; HTTP is not supported in production.
Long Polling
Each Connect API /progress endpoint utilizes long polling, which keeps the request open to wait for information from the bureau or next steps that may not have been immediately available when the /progress request was initially made. The response will be returned as soon as it is available, however, if the data is still not available after 15 seconds, a 202 response will be returned. The 202 response signifies that the same /progress endpoint should be called again.
