Sex Offender Search API

One authenticated call searches every US sex offender registry and returns scored, de-duplicated, source-tagged records.

What it does

All 58 US registries in one call. The 50 states, DC, the territories and tribal registries. Omit jurisdictions to search all of them or name a subset.
One normalized record. Every match is the same Record object — names, aliases, date of birth with its precision, addresses, offenses, photographs, registration details — plus per-state detail with include: ["stateData"].
Scored, labelled matching. matchConfidence, matchBasis, matchedName and a matchState for date of birth on every record, so you set the threshold.
Completeness you can read. counts and sourceStatus[] say which jurisdictions finished; an empty result is only an answer when they did.
Live re-verification and evidence. Re-check named registries at query time, or add live.evidence: "pdf" to receive the registry's own page as a document.
