Credit Report Equifax AI Agent / LLM
BusinessEverything an AI coding assistant needs to write a working Credit Report Equifax integration without opening another page: endpoint, authentication, parameters, a real request, both response shapes and the platform rules it cannot infer from a single example. Copy the brief below and paste it into Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT or any other agent.

## Integration rules
- Every response is JSON carrying `status`, `status_code`, `charged`, `success`, `message`, `message_code` and (once a call reaches the provider) `order_id`. The verification payload is under `data.result`.
- `charged` (boolean) is the authority on billing. Do NOT infer it from the HTTP status: `422` is returned both for input we rejected (not charged) and for a lookup the provider ran and billed us for that returned a negative result (charged).
- `message_code` is a fixed vocabulary — branch on it instead of parsing `message`. Values: `OK`, `ACCEPTED`, `PROVIDER_NO_RESPONSE`, `VERIFICATION_FAILED`, `NO_RECORD_FOUND`, `INVALID_INPUT`, `REQUEST_FAILED`, `MISSING_API_KEY`, `INVALID_API_KEY`, `INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE`, `NO_API_ACCESS`, `NOT_FOUND`, `RATE_LIMITED`, `INTERNAL_ERROR`, `PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE`.
- `success` reports the verification outcome; `status` reports the ORDER lifecycle (`SUCCESS`/`PENDING`/`FAILED`). They differ on a charged negative result: the order completed and was billed while the verification did not pass.
- A failed verification is still a successful HTTP call — the outcome lives in the response body, so do not treat `200` as "verified".
- Status codes: `200` result returned, `202` pending or provider did not respond (both charged — quote the `order_id`), `401` missing/invalid key, `402` insufficient balance, `403` no access to this service, `422` see `charged`, `429` rate limited (honour the `Retry-After` header), `503` temporarily unavailable.
- Rate limits are per API key, per service, on a 1-minute sliding window.
- Load the API key from an environment variable or secret store. Never hard-code it, never commit it, and never ship it in client-side code — calls must be made from your backend.
Prompts to pair it with
- Write a production-ready Credit Report Equifax integration in PHP using this spec, with error handling and retries.
- Given this spec, generate typed request/response models and a client class.
- Review my existing Credit Report Equifax integration against this spec and list what I handle incorrectly.
⚠ Before you paste generated code
Never let an assistant hard-code your API key — load it from an environment variable or a
secret store, and call this endpoint from your backend only. A failed verification is still a
successful HTTP call, so check the success field in the body
rather than treating 200 as verified.
