# Checkr integrations

> Call the Checkr API from any Tray.ai workflow with the HTTP Connector.

**Canonical page:** https://tray.ai/connectors/checkr-integrations/
**Categories:** Human resources
**Connects through:** HTTP Connector

## Overview

Checkr runs background checks for employers, including criminal, motor vehicle, identity and verification screenings, with candidate invitations and adverse action handling. Tray.ai connects to Checkr through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Checkr API alongside the rest of your stack. API access comes through Checkr's partner program or API plan, so you need approved credentials first.

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping Checkr credentials out of logs

A raw API call usually means pasting a key or token into the request, where it ends up in step inputs, logs, and screenshots.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Store Checkr credentials once as a Tray.ai authentication and reference them from the HTTP Connector. Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output.

### Going from the Checkr API docs to a working call

Translating an example request from API docs into a workflow step means copying the method, URL, headers, and body by hand.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Paste a cURL example from the Checkr API docs into the HTTP Connector and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and body for you.

### Handling files and non-JSON responses

Not every API answers in JSON. Some return XML, files, or binary data, or expect a multipart upload.

**How Tray.ai helps:** The HTTP Connector parses JSON and XML responses, returns files you can pass to the next step, and sends multipart form data for uploads.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Tray.ai connect to Checkr?

Yes. Tray.ai connects to Checkr through the HTTP Connector, which calls the Checkr API directly. Any call the Checkr API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow. API access comes through Checkr's partner program or API plan, so you need approved credentials first.

### How does Tray.ai authenticate with Checkr?

The Checkr API uses basic authentication. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated Checkr connector?

Checkr runs through the HTTP Connector rather than a dedicated connector. If your team wants one, the Tray.ai connector SDK can build a dedicated Checkr connector from the Checkr API.
