GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Yardstik is a modern, RESTful API-driven background screening service.<br />
Yardstik uses resource-oriented URLs, supports authentication via a single header API Key, and
leverages JSON in all responses passed back.

Authentication

Yardstik uses API keys to authenticate your API requests.<br />
All API requests require an API key and an Accept: header set to application/json.<br />
An authentication error will be returned if you do not include a key when making a request.

Keep your keys safe

Access to your API keys should be granted only to those who need to make API requests on your behalf.
API keys are able to perform any API request to the Yardstik API without restriction.
API keys should be kept confidential and only stored on your own servers.

Getting Started

This will walk you through the steps necessary to successfully run a background check using Yardstik

SECURITY 4/5

The security score of an API is computed as the number of OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities detected in the API.

  • OWASP issues detected: API7:2023

PERFORMANCE 3/5

The performance score is derived from the median response time of the API, sometimes referred as p50. The median is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, here the response times of the API.

  • The median response time of the API is 307 ms .

Get p50 under 220 ms to get a 4/5 score.

RELIABILITY 5/5

The reliability score is derived from the number of inconsistent server responses, either server errors or non-conforming return values.

  • Self compliance: response objects matched the declared response types.
  • Server errors: the server did not return any 5xx error.

DESIGN 2/5

The design score reflects the quality of the specification file (usually named openapi.json or swagger.json). Having a high-quality specification file (with up-to-date types and examples) help developers understand the API and tools produce relevant documentation.

  • Respects OpenAPI 3.0.0 schema specification.
  • Contains comments and summaries.
  • Contains examples.
  • Does not contain duplicated objects.

Popularity 0/5

The popularity score is computed from the number of references to the API found on the internet. Have your API used by many developers to get a higher score!
