Order lifecycle: SUCCESS, PENDING or FAILED. Describes the order, not the verification — a charged call that came back negative is a completed order.
status_code
int
The HTTP status, echoed into the body.
charged
bool
The authority on billing. Never infer it from the HTTP status.
success
bool
The verification outcome. Independent of charged.
message
string
Human-readable text. For display and logs — do not parse it.
message_code
string
Machine-readable reason from a fixed vocabulary. Branch on this.
order_id
string
Present once a call reached the provider; quote it on a support ticket. Its absence means nothing was billed.
data.result
object
The verification payload for this endpoint.

202
PENDING
Queued at the provider. Quote the order_id to collect the result.

Yes
202
PENDING
The provider did not respond in time. Held for manual review — not auto-refunded.
VERIFICATION_FAILED
Yes
422
SUCCESS
The provider ran the lookup and the details did not verify. The work was done, so the call is billed.
NO_RECORD_FOUND
Yes
422
SUCCESS
The provider ran the lookup and found no matching record. Billed for the same reason.
SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE
Yes
422
SUCCESS
The provider accepted and ran the lookup, but the underlying record source was down and could not answer. The provider bills us for the attempt, so the call is billed. Retry shortly.
