API

Licensure, as an endpoint.

The Payna API gives systems real-time answers to the question the business asks constantly: is this person, or this entity, licensed to do this work, here, today? Status, sponsorship, CE completion, and open regulator conditions, over HTTPS.

THE SHAPE OF IT

One call answers the licensure question.

Every person and entity Payna manages is queryable. Responses carry the current status as Payna tracks it against the registries, so the systems that depend on licensure never work from a stale spreadsheet export.

The full reference is public: authentication, every endpoint, the status model, and error handling. You do not need to talk to us first. Read the API documentation.

INTEGRATION USE CASES

Put licensure checks where the work happens.

Gate loan applications

The LOS checks an MLO’s license and sponsorship in the subject state before an application can be started, and blocks the ones that do not clear. The check runs against Payna’s latest synced record, returned with the timestamp it was read at.

statussub_statusstate

Assign claims safely

The claims platform verifies an adjuster is licensed in the loss state before assignment, and filters the CAT deployment roster to people who can legally work the event.

statelicense_typestatus

Feed internal systems

Pull license status into a data warehouse, compliance dashboards, or partner due diligence packages, and surface open regulator conditions the day they appear.
